Note that A/C flying a bit lower altitude than you should now be a lot easier to spot, like in real life...

Yes but one might hope that the engine would be capable of producing this clear day effect when you stick in clear weather options into the FMB - otherwise how will the N.Africa Campaign Expansion due in 2023 look? Surely the hazy atmosphere effect should be part of the weather options rather than the default?

1.) Graphics - Definitely needs adjusted, the old colors look more vibrant and the new shots colors look washed out. Also with the fps showing I see the same fps in before and after shots. Based on the before after shots the beta graphics look like a downgrade to something crappy.

2.) Sound - Current sounds are terrible so it won't take much for it to be considered an improvement.

Guess I'll have to wait and see what the final result will be after adjustments.

S!

Well, it seems when autumn hits us CoD will get goodies so I can finally start flying and enjoying it

WOW! Sounds great! I can't wait..... I've had the game since launch, but can't play it do to so many issues.. I'm sure this will be the best sim ever once it gets a little further in development....

I like the AFTER cockpit shots a LOT better.

The BEFORE shots with the harsh shadows look like the light source is from a pinpoint - or if the scene was lit by the sun during a solar eclipse a minute or so before totality. (yes, I have been fortunate enough to experience a total solar eclipse in good weather)

The AFTER shots look much more natural. The light source is a bit more difuse so that the lighting levels are not unaturally contrasty.

Keep up the good work.
