Default Could we have this back please?

I was just rummaging through some old screenshots on my steam gallery and found this:



this:



aaand finally this:



It think it has been mentioned before but it's worth saying it again IMO, could the weathering please go back to having a real lowest setting? So those of us who really appreciate a factory fresh Spitfire (or any other plane for that matter) might actually fly one?

Might be partially to do with the spit skin weathering bug , but I hope they have tweaked the reflections/lighting looks very nice in these pics.

Agree. On some planes (Bf-109) there are some ugly low resolution spots left from the original weathering you can't get rid of when making a new skin.
It looks really bad.
What I miss the most is the gorgeous sun set, sun rise, the beautiful blue water and the reflections in the water.
I hope with this long tme spent on the next patch, they had time to reintroduce some of that original beauty in the game.

I miss that lighting too. Last patch it was removed, maybe to increase fps? I hope they can turn it back on.

Apart from the beautiful sunset colours, one thing I really, REALLY want is the fresnel reflections that were originally in the game. Check out the second to last picture with the 110, the wings reflect the light in the sky perfectly!

Agree about the Spitfire weathering bug, they look hideous in the current form.

Yes! the way the light reflects of the 110 absolutely gorgeous, can someone please remind me of why they changed all that stuff, can't seem to remember the motive.

About the sun, In the past another member Bigpickle mentioned this as well, and I too also said not so long ago about the old sun and lighting being way better, but got told the present was much better by the majority of the community.
