Casual glance, not the same thing.

Check out these two online wwii air combat sim's, watch some the videos, the language can be a bit fruity mind.

These are old engines being pushed well past their sell by date, and I genuinely think an OT mod can get into this market.

When it comes to combat flight sims there are three things..

Graphics
Gameplay
Realism

The no.1 reason for being excited about a game is graphics, but if the Gameplay is poor then graphics alone won't retain players..

Gameplay retains players in the short term but in the long term can't hold onto players as they become more experienced..

Realism is the main driver to hold experienced players but is a massive turn off for both newbies and medium term players..

The key then that holds both the newbies with their graphics and the experienced with their realism is Gameplay...

Gameplay..... Who the hells working on that?

approximation to reality is indispensable for success in simulation games such as are those that lead you to total immersion, as is the case with the Virtual Reality.
But even within various depths of realism there, so you have to ensure at least the minimum.
Then comes the artificial intelligence (AI), which is the other ingredient that completes the circle.
But much remains to be done, we have no sand, or dunes, or similar color, we have no vegetation, no rain, (snow) no water in the rivers where they see a fishing boat, or multiple forms of clouds, waterfalls and lightning, of variablesni times seasons, and the earth as seen from space and that is what you will grow in value to outerra.
The other thing we know how to do, and come to look, we just have to wait.
that's my opinion.

Hmmmmmmm................

https://www.reddit.com/r/flightsim/comments/3mzk43/next_generation_flight_simulator_forums_facebook/

Hello Flightsim Reddit,
At Next Generation Interactive Software (NGIS), we are pleased to announce the re-opening of our forums and our newly created Facebook page.

Link to forums: http://nexgenflightsim.com Link to Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NextGenerationInteractiveSoftware

As our team grows in numbers and by immense talent every week, we are eagerly waiting patiently to begin development on the Next Generation Flight Simulator in collaboration with the UNIGINE v2 engine. Currently, our team consists of many developers and software engineers who come with an extensive background with skills in developing Level-D flight simulators (http://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/3040/what-are-the-differences-between-various-simulator-levels), 3D modeling, terrain development, programming in C++ or C#, graphics, animation, production, audio and quality assurance.

Many of them also have ties within flight simulation community. As we continue to build our project outline, we are planning to start development in the middle of October of this year. As we work closely with the development team at UNIGINE Corp., we are committed and excited to be delivering the Next Generation Flight Simulator to the flight simulation community.

Feel free to join our forums to voice your opinion about the project and what features you would like to see in the flight simulator. Also, "LIKE" our Facebook page to stay constantly updated on new features being implemented and the project itself.

Thank you very much

Kind regards,

-Mark Savard; Team Lead of Communications & Marketing at Next Generation Interactive Software (NGIS)

It sounds almost like they might end up nearly or completely making their own engine?

Well, to be fair, having a good base engine like unigine, plus active help from unigine could have given them quite a head start. It will be interesting to see what direction they take from here.

Interesting reading. http://nexgenflightsim.com/discussions/#/discussion/comment/2239

I think that thread was locked for a moment, but has actually been highlighted since then by NGIS http://nexgenflightsim.com/discussions/#/search

NGIS has its own dedicated forum at Flightsim.com, much as there is an unofficial Outerra forum at Avsim. The news of the UNIGINE departure is already causing swirls on that forum, as people wonder whats the next move. http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/forumdisplay.php?93-NGFS-Next-Generation-Flight-Sim

"I liked the symposium, it was a good idea up until Unigine came along and bated their eye lashes at certain individuals, who then simply rolled over and showed them their belly to be tickled..."

What excellent analogy!!!   =D
