There are effects and some graphics that are border line .. it's still not ok imo.. I really ...really hope for the best but some things need to change..
The whole actual Gui remind me something from 1999 Microsoft CFS , over shy, over small , big txt , over framed , over use of shadows etc..
Do not be shy to show aircraft in big ( skinners will be happy ) and really ovoid the stamp effects of pictures and txt.
Here a quick made sample idea... that goes for map view, missions etc..
Gozr's
( aircrat can rotate to all directions limited zoom in and out, great tool view for Skinners )
