Anything to do with likes and dislikes of the new colours, or how the individual percieves the cockpit or the terrain for that matter is purely a question of taste..
For every person that likes the cockpits/terrain there will be another who doesn't.
I guess the developers struggle to work out just what will please the masses, it must be a thankless job as they won't please everyone, it can't be easy.
We are an unforgiving lot at times, myself included of course, but I do wonder sometimes what those guys think every day they turn up for work, and do they even worry about keeping the likes of us happy.. lol
