Hi SeeVee! I didn't know you were into subsims as well.

I think the new terrain update has brought the sim even closer to the competition in respect to low altitude. Of course, very low altitude flying is one of the weakest points of this game, despite the constant improvement. (Personally I think CFS3 with Over Flanders Fields is the champion here.)

But eye candy aside, at altitudes of 3000 feet and onwards it beats everything out there, and that is very important because those were the service/combat altitudes of these planes.

I found that it helps me if I play OFF for a while when I am more interested in spectacular low level flying, and FS2004 if I want to fly at some particular place (in a Tiger Moth of course). Afterwards if I return to BoB2 it doesnt bother me very much to fly over the somewhat less spectacular terrain, and instead have superior AI / campaign / cockpits etc ..
