The never ending cockpit discussion

correct me if im wrong, but those cockpit shown in the vid, have never seen the light of day in the actual game.
so far i only flew with the bfs and the only gauge which shows reflections is the compass.all the other gauges dont seem to be covered with glass at all.the pits in the vid are gorgeous...but what we had in game wasnt that convincing, and in my view, with the latest beta patch the pits got worse.

Yeah the old cockpits are beautiful . . .

But I'm not worried. Beta has a tendency of beta maxing . . .

Things change.

I would say its been staring you all in the face for a long time now , they are bit by bit stripping all the glossy bits out of the engine cos it dont work, the overall look is becoming more flat with every patch , this is why some are starting to compare it with its old man , its a pudnokker . Fact .

I don't think that's true as we have yet to see a improvement in performance... So its not logical to think they would remove something that isn't causing any problems...

they need to stop "improving" performance by disabling render options.

they just need to make them optional from in-game's video interface.

This way, the ones with lower system can still play, and the ones with better systems can have all the bells and whistles..

Guys this utter bs not many ppl have mentioned improvements from the beta patches in fact most ppl have ~5fps less from the beta patches... This disabling features to improve performance does not add up.

MMmm..but disabling a feature so we get used to it being gone whilst we're preoccupied with landscape and sound, in anticipation of the introduction of a new feature which would otherwise reduce performance unless they dropped shiny glass, seems reasonable to me.

I don't know what i have to expect in the next patch, just seems to be a downgrading patch
