I am a little concerned that the reference haze we see in 2011 Europe is NOT the same as 1940. Pollution was not as great in 1940 as it is there today, don't make the mistake of looking out your window and thinking it was always this way..

If you want to see skies with less haze, perhaps come visit Australia :)

Actually, it probably was. There was no clean air act. Industry and homes burned very dirty fuel. Trains and ships were coal fired and whilst it was summer so there would not have been winter pea soupers I would have thought the air over London in particular would have been just as dirty.

I've just re read Eino Luukkanen's (Finnish ww2 ace) book, in one chapter he write about their trip to Germany (they went there to pick up Bf109s to Finland). Anyways, heres my bad translation from book but you probably get the point: "...we can only use compass to navigate correctly, especially because usual central-european haze makes horizontal visibility worse".

Hi All
When will they fix the aerials on the aircraft? I have a NVidia card and even in your screen shots the aircraft aerials are terrible. I love the game for the images you can capture. The screen shots look bad because the aerials are missing or jagged. When will this issue be resolved also will the haze effect be reversible. It doesn't seem like a fix to me rather a way of blocking out the bad graphics by fading the horizon.

Thanks DB605

So to clarify that point, if you look out your window now should it be worse than 1940?? The original comment said "this looks so much better, looks like im looking out of my window"

Umm :)

Playing Devils Advocate I know, and I'm assuming the writer was referring to the new haze change, but the main point was do not reflect on what we have 'now' as evidence for accuracy for a 1940s sim build. That mistake gets made all too often, eg. a true 1940 coastline anyone??

If your touting 'accuracy' as one of you goals you gota be real careful what to refer to as more accurate or 'better'. It's real easy to pick holes in many arguments re graphical representation of accuracy for times past (as I have done), it's better to compare with data or images than today's atmosphere.

Which I can 'hope' is what they used.
