just switched back to beta 15527-waoh!

I like the 866 patch better. Apart from a few minor things it's overall alot nicer to look at. and for screenshots.

The reflections are not out.. They are less noticeable.. which is better.. Plus the reflections in the cockpit was never really anyway.. Look at the reflection closely.. its just a static picture that never changes no matter what really is the reflection.. Its been like the whole time...

New Cockpit color and all colors in the new patch is so much more BETTER...

Never been negativ here, but I really wonder what some of you guys look at !??
As a graphics designer, I have my monitor set to defaults. Cockpit graphics look exactly if someone has its gamma settings way to dark and therefore did overcorrect the gradation. A common mistake with beginners, as I often see at school.
And the colrrs on the terrain look like uncorrected sattelite-images pre 1995. Abosolute horrible and unnecessairy changes here. Went back to the previous patch, wich is much more balanced overall IMHO. Hope it will turn out thr good way, cause I really like the sim
Cheers, Marcello

Is that the only line you have? It's getting old, you know.

The reflections are not less noticeable, they are pretty much gone.
You are the only one around here that finds the latest beta better when it comes to looks.

Here are two very similar screens taken in the curent official version, first beta and the latest beta:

Official version:

and also the performance is way more smooth again with 15527.although i have pretty much the same fps average(a small increase of 2fps with 15527), i have way less stutters!also the crosshair is much better visible in the bf again!
i will stick with it until another beta or the official patch comes out, and pray that they will get back to good things the game once had...

EDIT: after a second try i realised that flyby sounds from inside the cockpit sound is different as well with 15527. realistic or not if,whether you should hear other engines or not, the flyby sounds in 15527 are much more convincing, because the doppler effect is more noticeable!another feature which in my view should COME BACK!!

100% agree

There are reflections in the instrument guages in the beta patch. Not as pronounced but there.

Cheers!

I don't mind the contrast really, but I have to agree on sounds, they are better in the previous beta.

I think the new cockpits are rubbish compared to earlier versions.. I hope they return soon..

It is scary that anyone could think the second beta is an improvement and undermines my confidence in the devs.

I even wonder if it just doesn't work properly on my rig and I'm not seeing what they are seeing.

I've never complained about any of the patches or glitches. I've stayed positive and given them the benefit of the doubt through it all. But if what I'm looking at on my screen is an improvement in their opinion then they must be drunk.
