Yes that's 110% correct.

I got the sides reversed in my poll title, but you have it sorted.

my guess
the final result will be not in this patch but to the next one
where will be the final optimization

My guess is that it´s the result of removing some filter that isn´t optimized, and I hope they will bring it us when they done it for non hit FPS...

I hope...

IMHO add some atmospheric fog on the left one will give the best result

Uhm. I don't get it. If left is prepatch and right post patch where is the improvement? In fact it seems to be getting poorer and flatter and worse and is a HUGE step backwards.

Also see the shadows: they are now of far lower quality. The canopy glass is no longer the same and also the light reflections are tuned down to almost IL2 levels. The metall parts on the wings now are dull grey and not shining ...

Well... almost the ground now looks good... and FPS are more stable.
Perhaps they need to polish the new filters and improve the algorithm´s... let´s see the next patches. This is a long run...

From inside the 110, things outside are looking much better!




And same shot from current retail version:

Overall the new beta is a marked improvement over the old lighting, which to me looked very 'computer gamey', in the sense that it didn't really look like there was much of an atmosphere. The new lighting does what the other didn't, which is help unify the different elements and set them in space better. I'm sure it can be tweaked further.
