I just have to get this off my chest.... I was so excited about the release of this game... I'm a real world pilot btw. So here it goes, I bought a new Asus G74 with 12gigs of RAM and a 3 gig video card with an I7 processor... All set. I can play arma at MAX graphics with an awesome frame rate, so i figured I would blow TOH out of the water too... I spent countless time looking at the beautiful screen shots. The game also advertises " authentic flight modeling" .... SWEET!!! That level of realism combine with those graphics !!!! I can't wait!!! I can shelf the fsx dodosim for a while... Then it happened.... The release! I fired it up for the first time.... WTF.... The graphics quality of the preview trailers is so far out of reach... The graphics settings have to be lowered making the game look like complete garbage.... Oh well, let's see how it will fly.... Maybe that will make up for the horrible visuals... Loaded a free flight.... I ran to the bathroom to throw up... It is awful... Just awful. Extremely "arcade" like. I see people splitting hairs about torque affect and decent rate..etc... But let's step back and look at the big picture, the whole thing feels like crap. The helicopter doesn't feel like it has any weight to it.. the realism setting doesn't make it any more real.. it just makes the beginner flight model more twitchy and annoying.
This is so disappointing, so much build up for nothing. Does anyone else agree that this enters the realm of false advertising? I feel like I just lit my money on fire :(
Thanks for listening to my rant.... Oh and I'm new to the forum! Hello!
