Cockpit and Landscape Beta Comparison
Well here is a quick comparison between the two betas...

Landscape - Looks like where back to the old pastel colours not as bad as release but not as good as BETA Patch v 1.03.15527.. somewhere in-between the two would be great. UPDATE: This is getting more interesting, look at the images of the gun-sight screenshots. The ground looks better in the new beta at that altitude... more work investigation required. |
Just thought i would say that the background looks a lot better in the new patch... more realistic.
|
Scared to install the patches. I like the Higher contrast. Thanks for the comparison. Think I will go ahead and install the 15866 beta and see what happens. Worse that can happen Is another 3gig download?:)P

Colors of the second patch look better, but perhaps with a little less contrast.
|
That's a very useful comparison...
I think the old cockpit was much better. Landscape and planecolour are for my taste in the new version a bit to shiny... |
Thanks for the work Kruppi!
Personaly, as a person with poor eyesight, I find the new high contrast cockpit much better. If you fly full real many hours (like I used to do), the crisp and clear dials of the new patch cause less eye strain. ~S~ |
In the second patch, color of the sea is much better, less dark.
|
^UPDATE
This is getting more interesting, look at the images of the gun-sight screenshots. The ground looks better in the new beta at that altitude... more work investigation required. |
I dont like the Revi on the new beta patch bring back the old one , now it looks arcadish

Its a shame that we cant see any flames now when we passby or seeing a nother plane starting next to you , i loved that detail , somehow they can tweak that isn it to put that back in .

That's how a hot summer day over the channel looks like from 5.000 ft...

Going back to the lastest beta , have fun guys this patch ...... wel you now :evil:
|
gelbevierzehn.....probably did not look like that back in 1940's.,;)
|
I think I prefer the more "contasty" cockpit as well. And I think the landscape colours are OK, too. (Personal opinion, natch...)
|
335th_GRAthos +1

|
The new patch is certainly a frame rate killer, my FPS as dropped dramatically.
|
jesus that cockpit looks awful...
|
I think it looks much better now.
|
The sunlight looks better :D, will try and get some shots.
|
Thanks for the screenshots! :)
Havent installed the patch yet, due to doubts (I am think a beta for a beta and that pushed out on public demand can´t do good) but the screens of the cockpit look good. I liked the haze and loved the horizon on high alts of the first beta (you know which I mean), but the screens of the cockpit of the new beta look better. Anyway I guess the air in those days was not as clean as it is nowadays. |
It would be useful if you add to the comparision screens with the stock game with no beta at all. For me cockpits were wonderfull with no beta at all, were smoked in the first beta and are extremely horrible with last beta.
|
I have not installed the patch yet, but for me the patch colours are better, with better contrast (especially in 'pit), and much less purple? colour cast. A definate a step in the right direction colour-wise. Good original post.
|
the colors is good IMHO
But the high constrast in the pit is terrible[much more detail visible in the previous beta,now at the start i got a black colour gauges] also if you press an external view -F2- the glass of the canopy is barely visible in some points ps.for the people who have trouble with the E4 and the rads just press R to make it work again |
Cockpit colours are fine, just the reticle is a bit thin and vague, the old one was looking better.

Terrain def looks better in the new Patch, though im not 100% sure on the Cockpit?
Certainly an improvement though |
I haven't installed it but judging from the screens they are definitely moving in the right direction. Finally we get some crisp graphics.
Except the gunsight light that should be not crisp at all. |

Give me the 40 euros I'm short of buying a new graphics card and you'll get your trees! :grin:

OK, I have new shots for compare, from the original stock game, from beta1 and from beta 2.
Always talking only about cockpit colors, for me original were the far better of three. Beta2 are the most awful, they have lost all midtones :/ with that over contrast and hipersaturated render. Original one were more contrasted without lost all midtones and details. Original: http://test.ailantd.com/shots/il2test/A0.jpg Beta1: http://test.ailantd.com/shots/il2test/A1.jpg Beta2: http://test.ailantd.com/shots/il2test/A2.jpg -------------------------------------------------- Original: http://test.ailantd.com/shots/il2test/B0.jpg Beta1: http://test.ailantd.com/shots/il2test/B1.jpg Beta2: http://test.ailantd.com/shots/il2test/B2.jpg -------------------------------------------------- Original: http://test.ailantd.com/shots/il2test/C0.jpg Beta1: http://test.ailantd.com/shots/il2test/C1.jpg Beta2: http://test.ailantd.com/shots/il2test/C2.jpg -------------------------------------------------- Original: http://test.ailantd.com/shots/il2test/D0.jpg Beta1: http://test.ailantd.com/shots/il2test/D1.jpg Beta2: http://test.ailantd.com/shots/il2test/D2.jpg |
Original for me. Cockpit-wise.
That 'warm' look has all but disappeared. If they could get the cockpits like original, whilst getting the landscape like the last beta patch, I'd be happy. The new patch looks bloody awful. But at least some people can have 3D.:rolleyes: |

The beta really is not that bad ignoring the obvious bug, pitty so many here are too narrow minded to see throw the mistake and see the effort that has been made. Hopefully a quick fix patch tomorrow. |

Isn't that what forums are for? ;) (no need to shout btw). |
Dying for a hotfix so I can at least try it!
But Im not holding my breath... |
Thanks for all the comparison pics. Will wait and see if there is a hot fix before installing and if ATAG goes with the latest Beta. Everything looks better to me and my eyesight will appreciate the new cockpit tones for sure!

I'm in the sharper, better camp too. Read some of the posts from earlier today...many negative, was expecting the worse...must say I was impressed. Things look good, sharp, I like the 109 cockpit, landscape, water, etc. Havent had time to really get into it but so far very good!
|
Love the new look.contrast is better colors are better,sharper,and looks more realistic.
|
I am definitely in favour of the new cockpit rendering. It just looks more realistic to me, everything just pops. The landscape in general seems to be improved.
|
Greens begin to please me :grin:
|
hmmmmmmm, they look the same expect the new ones are lighter ?
. |
From a quick test on the "Black Death" track (at least until it crashes when the bombs go off), I find there is too much contrast. I'm currently watching "Band of Brothers" again, and the high contrast in the game reminds me of the colour effects on that and similar movies like Saving Private Ryan.
|
Contrast of the inside cockpit is good actually very much like the real thing.. Up there yes you'll get some good contrast.
|
I think the landscape is looking good and the cockpits at midday look terrible.
I liked the cockpits before the first beta patch. There was nothing wrong with them in the first place! I see where they are going though and I hope this is will improve. I like the VNE FM stuff though |
From the screenies (yet to install the patchII), the second Beta landscaping looks much much better... both colour and light.
|
S!
Well there is no soft or warm color but sharpness and contrast when I work on planes ;) So I prefer from the pics the latest ones. I do not see "fuzzy" gauses IRL. And compare to A-10C... |
Have to say Bf-110 cockpit looks much better now. Before it had that weird "glow" on all the gages and instruments but that's been removed now, which is good.
|
since the hotfix, i'm loving the beta, there's light at the end of what's been a long tunnel:cool:
|
Me2 love the patch, no issues at all now that they've fixed the explosion issue.
Pic of the Spit Ia cockpit :) http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...n/41356914.jpg |
good pic
the gauges are black try the 109 at 9.00 o' clock in the morning you can't even see the glass of the gauges the contrast are high IMO But again the landscape and the haze looks excellent |
Hugh... comparing the screenshots I now can see... with betapatches we are loosing the glass shadow effect... :´(
|
Has anyone even visited England, here? The new landscape colours are absolutely terrible. It looks nothing like summer-time England. Beta 1 was a brilliant step. This is completely reactionary.
The cockpits are just face-palm worthy. This game is meant to be a simulation; not an outlet of Luthier's artistic expression (which is pretty crap, no offence to him). |

Aye, but does it make me wrong? This game is a simulation. And this doesn't look as realistic as the previous beta.
