...it's from a game due out in about a month or two... Call of Duty, Black Ops. Let's talk about ..state..of..the..art.., shall we, dis-assembly intentional. It's not a buzzword, it's descriptive sentence. What is the state of the art-form known as X-Plane payware content today... From the best of the best, definitely competitive. Especially when budgets and life constraints are considered, throw in the fact that we're all spread out all over the planet and not condensed into one floor of an office building with -every piece of new hardware we'd like- -thrown at us- and I think we're doing pretty well. (Look up the DICE Battlefield Bad Combat team HQ video...) Slide down the bell curve a little and the bar starts to slip pretty quickly. I would like more reviews and trial versions so that we can all have a look at everyone elses payware product and see if any of us have the right to talk smack the way we do. All sides inclusive. I don't think there is anyone that can lay claim to having truly looked at ALL the "best" payware. Anyway. I'm done recharging my solar and O2 stores, i'm going deep and silent again. Cyaz.
