~S~Sir,
Let me start out by thanking you, from the bottom of my heart, for your service and sacrifice. I am also very, very interested in getting your reactions on The Slot.

After having done this for 5 months it is my opinion that IL2 does a fair job of representing the terrain in a particular area, from an altitude above 1,000 feet, assuming the developers have the foresight to use Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data and select the correct textures.

From ground level the height model and forest texture limitations of the graphics engine limit us to creating what I would characterize as a caricature of real life.

As long as we all keep in mind that it is a flight simulator, and not a first person shooter, then no one will be too disappointed. 8)
