Hmmm are there really people here who think the game looked better before this beta patch? Might be time for an eye test guys... before the patch only the planes looked okay. Now the landscape and the planes fit together - it doesn't look like I'm flying over some patchwork middle earth anymore - the shoreline render is so much better it used to increase the size of rivers etc the further away from the viewpoint they were creating this odd archipelago effect at altitude - fixed. IMHO the game looks about 200 x better now and is easier to spend time on as a result. The haze effect is pretty realistic in my experience of looking out of plane windows - some days it is much much worse - what gives? Hope some more good work gets into the official patch before its released. The only difference in the OP pictures that makes people choose the old one is the exaggerated specular highlight on the weathering texture other than that the new pic is a clear winner.
