What is it all about - a sim or rather something like "Google Earth" ?

from what I can tell, they have developed this terrain, and are trying to sell it to games manufacturers as an 'engine'

It is looking very realistic - great job!

But again I also realise, what a piece of artwork our OFF landscape is; it is not as

cold as reality, not so blue-green-grey as real life - it looks warmer, gentler in a way.

Which gives me some comfort in a war like this, if you know what I mean.

That landscape with the trees reminds me a lot of the landscape in Operation: Flashpoint and in ArmA II, looks good.

 

I remember a while back seeing a video of a 3D engine that went from outer-space, through the atmosphere and onto the surface of the planet itself, now that looked good!
