Maybe over land, in certain days, but making it present by default on all maps and all conditions is far far from realistic.

It's ok over south England, but not over some island map, or in the middle of the water far away from the land.
I've been around the block a bit too. This kind of hazy sky is the exception, not the the norm. It may be normal over big industrial cities in the summer, but not in the middle of the sea whenre you can't even see land.

Someone seems to have filled the fountains in Trafalgar Square and the one in front of Buckingham Palace with blue paint!


Also, I got a graphic glitch in the Thames estury - it was 'beach' all the way across:


Edit: Same the other side of the Channel:


I tried landing on it, but it is definitely water (or quicksand!)

I've also had it crash twice while in the Tiger Moth - looking down in the cockpit seemed to cause it.

You mean like this? I took this a couple days ago, it's only a few miles from the pacific ocean with the breeze coming in from over the sea.

No minegeshos for the bf-110's is a disapointment. i also think the haze is just too dense. There's no more clear sky anymore, just murky haze.

Coop still doesn't work, though not certain that it was being fixed.

Flickering still bad, but worse down low.

FPS drop.

Still no fuel loadout in single player. Again this may or may not have been addressed.

STILL...NO FSAA !!!

- Loadouts doesn't work for single player missions

- Force Feedback takes ages to enable when starting a mission

- Flickering shadows on ground (the shadows of the trees and of the smoke)

- FSAA still doesn't work on ATI cards

you can set your fuel amount in the loadout section, and save it.then when yoiu play a singleplayer mission you can load the loadout.this will not load the ammunition but the fuel amount you saved in your profile....at least it was this way before the patch.
