...presumably that ammount of buildings would require too much computing/rendering power to run smoothly. Also the developing effort of replicating early 20th century London/Paris would be enormous. Maybe cpu's currently, but why should this restrict future development? And with respect to resources, why not 3rd party volunteers? He!!, I'll volunteer some time to place buildings etc as part of a project team... We don't have Paris right now as is, and that's OK, why not include the area with London for the future is all I'm saying, NOT let's have our cake and eat it too... I don't get it. Paris and London are great with modded Il-2, and don't cause any noticeable problems.

Different game engine...my guess is that ROF's level of detail for aircraft sacrifice resources that otherwise would be available to other things such as ground objects. There's only so much "horsepower" to go around IMO.

Nitpicking time! - Ieper is not marked on the map; should be, because the map does seem to include the area. Please change this before people get into a frenzy over "why isn't bloody Wipers on the map?" - "Zeerbrugge" must be "Zeebrugge"  Looking forward to buy more stuff in 2012!

No, it makes perfect sense not including the great cities, presumably that ammount of buildings would require too much computing/rendering power to run smoothly. Also the developing effort of replicating early 20th century London/Paris would be enormous.
Imo this is one mistake Il-2 Cliffs of Dover made, though it was a lot more important for them to have some version of London in the sim so it's easy to understand why they felt like they had to do it.
Exactly what I was thinking... I'd rather have a higher quality coastline (or submarines that can dive) or a Nieuport with two Lewis guns - rather than a lot of time be put into modeling a city I don't really want to fly over... Paris, I might see - but for London, there are other nearby targets to intercept Gothas over.

Pre-ordered everything, channel map and floatplanes sounds like great fun to me.

I'd rather 777 didn't use their scant resources modelling London or Paris.
If a 3rd party group wanted to take the task on then its all good of course.

I agree 100%, 777 should concentrate resources elsewhere other than Paris/London, BUT if ANYONE is ever going to be able to make London, the map has to include the terrain for it! That's all I'm trying to say, include the terrain where London SHOULD go, just like the Paris we don't have. Someday we will have it, but the map must cover the area first, or it ain't going to ever happen...
