Could be just a slight difference in the lighting angle?

i miss by the Hurricane the sharp edges, tilts and rivets.

Actually that looks like the skin hasn't finished loaded properly. Sometimes they seem to take 5-10 minutes before fully loading, and use a lower resolution until then (in offline mode).
Does this persist even if you wait?

I find that this is the case in aircraft I'm not flying. My own aircraft's skin loads a lot faster.

BUT - I haven't had a chance to try the new patch yet though.

I don't think you have to do that. After you run the game and your new 1C SoftClub folder is created. Then simple copy/paste those skins/missions from the old 1c SoftClub folder in to the new

Thanks!

New update on the ATAG server. New ship included and map work ;)

Awesome update!!Theres plenty of light at the end of the tunnel.

One was covered in fabric and another was made all metal.

The lines/rivets are just as sharp if you wait a while.

The skins are terribly shiny though. Very disappointing :-( They look terrible on a weathered skin. Oh dear!

If you turn the in-game weathering full on the shine is reduced, but then you get lots of added weathering and bare-metal showing that you don't really want.

I'm very disappointed in this as I spend a long time getting my weathering effects right on my skins.

Despair!!

Now the planes look realistic for the sunlight we have in game. If you have custom skins made, yes, they will look very different to what you are used to seeing, but that doesn't make it unrealistic.

Here's some examples of real life sun shine effects on planes, many of these shots were taken during WWII (before anyone brings up the old paint argument).

The shine is really representative of all those pilot accounts we've read about.

So I wouldn't call them terribly shiny at all. I'd call it pretty close to reality and what sunlight does to a metal surface. If you need more examples of WWII pictures with shine, let me know.

Oh, and you might want to take a look at your own signature :D

With the size of the map and relatively low numbers of aircraft in the sky. I think that the reflections are a good thing, mainly for those who are on-line pilots. I know that it has given me a new interest to go on-line...I do like the various skins made by the community and will use both games to get some artistic shots to post :-P
