Default Comparing 15527 v 15886 based on 4 categories

Comparing 15527 v 15886 based on 4 categories.


beta 15527:

Performance: Smoothest performance yet. Virtually no stuttering/slowing even with trackir movements, bombers, etc
Ground Colors: Look washed out, dull and unimpressive.."pastel"
Buildings: Seem to pop in and out more, look unrealistic "legos" and bad
Cockpits: Reflective surfaces, looks more detailed
Sun Flare: Overdone and awful..esp in flybys outside the cockpit

beta 15886:

Performance: Slight performance hit from 15527. A few stutters and less fps
Ground Colors: Look natural and perfect..mama mia
Buildings: Look very impressive and realistic. A real achievement for realism! No popping in and out
Cockpits: No reflective surfaces thus less realistic
Sun Flare: Perfect!

Sounds are terrific.

-i prefered the colour in 15527 as well regarding the terrain....maybe a mix of both would be perfect.
-i agree on the performance part-was better with 15527
-i agree on the sun flare effect-better with latest beta
-cant tell about the buildings-didnt notice any difference but didnt focus on them
-cockpits were almost perfect with 15527-big step in the wrong direction with latest beta
-regarding the sounds:maybe more sounds were added with the latest beta, but the flyby sounds in 15527 were more convincing because of the nice doppler effect

Colors are better in Beta but what about landscape at 12 o'clock? And sincerly France and England are too much different. A still see for England the "violet" filter, and this looks terrbile for me.

I'd very much love to see some comparison shots. That was I can see for myself if it's the way it is described or not.

I thought about that, but then just went back to flying with 15886. I made a video go watch it

There are reflections shown on the instruments, just not as pronounced.

Cheers!
