Along with MANY others, I have been patiently awaiting the Canon Map/WORLD. The cities and towns, and airfields look marvelous! Exquisitely detailed and accurate....well worth waiting for... I have OOOh'ed and Aaah'ed over posted Canon Map pics...many times! The accuracy of the airfields I know will be unprecedented! I am immensely impressed with the WIP...


But...

I've now seen Rise of Flight's towns/cities.... I hope that the thrill of flying over Canon's Map's towns(when they arrive) is not deadened/reduced by comparison.

ROF has LOTS and LOTS of faults for a Flight Sim, and some wonderful advances, BUT it has tremendously impressive graphics especially: Towns, cities, landscape, setc ...

Just as a point of Reference, some RoF towns:








I really hope that the Canon map is released Very SOON...even if only 80% complete. In some respects, the dilemma may be reflective of Oleg's 3 year delay in releasing SOW:BofB. Once he has achieved his perfection, he may have missed the departure of the proverbial boat from the dock...just as he arrives with his PERFECT chronometer. The ship will have sailed with something seemingly less than perfect, but impressively useful and to which one might become accustomed and loyal, in part due to its being immediately available to the departing Captain of the Ship. ROF, of course, is France/Belgium based....Canon's Map mostly, I should think, would want to be focussed on the UK cities, towns, bases, landscapes, campaigns, etc... The thrust of the BofB being the battles over Britain, not France. I'd recommend Focus.

Just random philosophical thoughts....
