The never ending cockpit discussion
This is how the pits where presented one year ago.
When I first saw these screenshots, I was totally overwhelmed by this look. Never before saw this realism in a sim... I don't wanna relaunch that endless cockpit colour discussion, with a poll result of 56% favouring the actual Beta 2 cockpits...  But maybe there is some kind of a hidden conf.ini parameter, that makes the actual cockpits look like the ones in that screenshot clip????

One more!
The current cockpit is just dull with the missing reflexions in the dial glasses. Need them back asap. Even turning off anti epilepsie filter in conf.ini and thru GUI does not bring them back. Mpf.

+1. Theses cockpits are drop-dead gorgeous. Personally, I can't see anyone who voted in that poll complaining if the cockpits reverted to this.
The facts speak volumes; when we were presented with these pits, there was no complaint from the community. A little change and there have been multiple polls and lengthy debates. People complained. I can't see any reason for the change; it seems rather ridiculous. Look at the gunsight reticles: what happened to the realistic glow? This is a simulation, and not an artisitic expression of aerial combat representation, right? (yes, the two are different!) All sims will have various levels of artistic license, but why change such beautiful cockpits?!

Looks like it would be SpecularLight maybe, changing it did nothing for me(1,2,3 tested) in the confi.ini during a quick test...shot in the dark. Maybe you have to fiddle with diffuse, etc. if it all
Perhaps it needed to be dialed back after it brought all known PCs to their collective knees haha. Last edited by katdogfizzow; 10-11-2011 at 07:48 PM.

I agree with you chaps.
But I get the feeling (and I know nothing of the technicalities), that things are being juggled around to provide the best overall package, and that various things will be re-introduced or newly introduced as time goes on and average hardware catches up and/or the game is better optimised. As an example, maybe we can't have the new landscape colours across the whole map plus the gorgeous cockpits without some penalty elsewhere. Or maybe we need to lose the instrument reflections in order for an improved AA function to be beneficial without a massive performance hit. I dunno, just a feeling.
