On my own on this I guess, visually I dont like the new patch I'm afraid, why cant they just leave the plane's alone, I certainly dont want that "high gloss" look back it covered everything including weathering, semi is fine.

Take the gamma now, again I guess i'm alone on this one but on my system it just looks pants, maybe it's just me, the land colours are good but I didnt have a problem with the originals.

Fix the Spitfire please stop enforced weathering on that model, we will add our own, and the Bomber cockpits, whats going on there, I know they were not that dirty, they wouldnt be able to fly let alone bomb anything.

Slowly this is turning into WOP graphically

Hey Herman, I think were lost.



The gamma in the FMB



They keep poking, fix the things that need to be fixed but for the love of this sim dont break those things that aint.

I'm not sure what's possible in a game engine when it comes to 'gloss maps' or the ability to control which parts of an object reflect more or less diffusely. That might be a limitation of realtime gfx engines.

Personally, I reckon it would be nice to see a bit of subtle cloud reflection on the wings as you turn your head from the cockpit- and for more weathered planes, more bumps and dents in the panelling done via normal map. You can kind of catch the 'skeleton' of planes sometimes through the flash of specular at the right angle. I really like this look.

Anyway, I'm just a visuals junky. Don't mind me...

Good catch. Didn't notice it was there before. I voted yes - it could look very nice but performance should be alright. If it performs much worse then I don't mind if it's left out for now or if it's an option you can only select in the settings.

Hey Shado I wouldn't take all the visual abnormalities as intentional changes in the beta patch. There are a few visual bugs introduced (horizon line bug for example) that clearly weren't intentional, for example I think the cockpit glass is currently bugged in that image.

That said its still good to report everything that we think is out of place or doesn't look right - intentional or not.
