This picture may not be the best source to compare to (obviously because the camera won't pick up a real picture) but a difference can be noted


Awesome update; your dedication to this sim is commendable.
Yeah the tracer smoke does look a little bit like it was done with the MS Paint 'airbrush' but I suppose that we'll have to wait for a gameplay trailer before we know what we're in for. I guess that there has to be a compromise somewhere because if there are 100+ aircraft then thats gonna be a lot of tracer smoke.. It's got to be good looking enough to work and not kill your PC at the same time.

Can't be too long before we start seeing the release version...
