I really wondering if we are all looking at the same thing. Through my monitor with it's brightness, contrast and sharpness settings with my gtx460 and 285drivers it looks like dog shit. Really garish like the cockpit is drawn in 16bit colour.
But those screen shots posted by "Flying Blind" look fine to me. Believe me the cockpits don't look like that on my monitor.

I lost 30fps with the second beta patch. From 60fps to 30fps. Performance is halved and it crashes for the first time ever. And it looks like shit!:confused:

I wonder if they have spent too much time and money redoing all the colours and lighting and it going into the game weather we like it or not!

I'm glad I saved a copy of the first beta patch.

...So they make the high-end graphics look worse to appease those with 'inferior' machines? Doesn't really work like that, does it? (rhetorical question) The graphics are meant to improve, and the game be tuned to allow the middle-low end users to run the game better; not to degrade it so that the middle-low end users are actually running at high settings!

@justme262

For me it looks like you should have read the instructions how to install the patch.

This last patch killed the reflections across the board, not only on the cockpits. Just look at the dull flat water now. All those nice cloud reflections are gone. The water is just flat and ugly in the last beta. I reverted to the last one.

I sure hope they can get fix it.:(

The cockpit's less glossy and the sunset/rise effects are being turned down. On my 5 year old computer the performance has maybe gone up 5 to 10% with the new betas. Still crappy and crashing after 5 minutes of play. I'm going to configure back to before the last beta of the game. Bit slower, crashing, but at least looking very good. Keeping my fingers crossed they give us the eyecandy back as the computing hardware increases. Right now (I know blasphemy) 1946 HSFX with AA looks almost as good as CloD. I'm getting a i2500k and a gtx570 this week and hopefully it'll look better.

Same thought i been getting as well, Ever time they bring out a patch somthing else gets dumbed down

You're right, I think that patches are memory hug..lols.
