Raising an old issue, again, and will continue to do so

Developers, when can we have this back again?

Give me a good reason why we have the current "factory fresh" planes with zero weathering looking all sand-blasted and scruffy and not like the above photos? Why did you decide to make the original planes uglier? Yes, luthier, try to type a few lines now and then that are not code!

They probably wanted the sim to look worse so nobody else would buy it, or had to turn down effects so the sim was playable atleast until the sim was further optimized, and average comuters more powerful.

P.S There are games out there today with object textures light-years ahead of CloD's and they run fine on even lesser hardware.

Totally agree with addman,these non weathered skins went off the weathering slider probably a year or more ago now and one can't understand the reasoning why!

At the start of the BOB,brand new factory aircraft looking like this would have been filling the British squadrons in their hundreds as they were 'fresh'off the factory,to replace what we lost during the battle for France,so it makes historic sense to have them enabled again.

Got a feeling this request will fall foul on those same deaf ears again though,just as comms,the AI,the FM's and all the other constant requests that make this sim worth playing have.:rolleyes:

A nice try though addman;)

Yes I believe so too, just look how long it took and how many threads and posts it took to get 100 octane! lol! Anywho, I would really appreciate if the developers could just give an OFFICIAL explanation why they gimped the planes. No need to fix it's too hard for them but just a rational explanation would be fine.

Good lord I forgot how good this sim used to look.

Yeah, it's been a downhill ride.

And please, please stop the trees and their shadows flickering, it looks like they're having a constant herbivorous epileptic fit.

RedToo.

Aye, give us our nice, shiny NEW planes back!!!

Is it possible for someone to just reskin the aircraft as 'new' or is that not the case?
