One thing i noticed right now that is better in the after screenshots... are the shadows on the glass... the glass shouldn't show the shadows because is a glass.. and in the before, right how is now, you can see it's wrong, because you can see the shadows on the glass.

Well, glass being transparent plexiglass or armored glass does reflect some light and will therefore display shadows on it. I sit in fightercockpits every day.

I`m a PPL licensed and IMO the before pic is better,more real,the after one is kinda washed out(no final tuning yet tho),so I`ll judge after the patch is applied

Cheers!!

It is very dirty glass. The shadow shows up on the dirt.

IMHO the shadows on the glass are overdone... they look better in the next patch

I prefer the hazy look of the landscape (and its colours) in the "after" image, but I think the cockpit (including shadows) in the "before" picture looks more realistic.

In image 3 and 4 the stuka's skin should be much more illuminate by the sky's white/blue 6000K light, it's too dark and too green, seems like to be exluded by the global illumination.
IMHO the "after" pictures looks great, much more "atmospheric"...
I think that we don't need a perfect sim, we need a good "atmospheric" and immersive sim with thousands frames per second (sli working!)...I don't need to feel the horrible reality of the battle of Britain but the sacral heroism of that moments...yeah! Nice work
