Interesting stuff.

This ArmA2 addon map is the most dense forest I've seen rendered on my PC. Each tree is real, with bushes and blowing grasses, populated by various animals, butterflies, and bees. This map is 100km2 IIRC.

Yeah, I see what you're saying, but the FSX scenery is still not as detailed close up.

I really love the Celle map. Now if we could just get an Arma map that is at least 1000 km2, we'ld really have something incredible. Also, visual distance on Arma maps doesn't scale too well.

To me, the trees do look nice, and the way the distant topography renders (I think there's a technical term for that?) looks really nice, but other than those two things, meh.

Of course, I realize it's just a tech demo, but we'll just have to see what develops.

Just think that if this thing came out 10 years ago what would we think.

Amazing times we live in folks, amazing times.
