Smile Good to see you back in the Forum Oleg

The Dornier vid is excellent and really shows the flight sims potential. After the last patch I am seeing a great improvement in performance on my setup.

I liked the realistic bombing shots, especially the explosions and smoke effects. The Dornier was one of the great missing aircraft in IL-2 (although back now), so good to see it so well modelled in COD, I hope you will eventually make it flyable?

I have been working with the FMB and when you change the time of day the light parameters are great. Colour saturation increases in the early morning and late afternoon giving a great atmosphere to the missions.

Keep working on improving the performance (just like the old times). I hope you can get the full weather working soon, perhaps using a third core?

It would be good to get some feedback from your team on how everything is going with the latest patches?

However I agree that tunes of the colors should be done in future. It isn't simply there in the game just gamma or RGB. In realoity there is done very compex mix of real light laws. It is very hard to get them alos like the human eye will see it. From another point of view, how it is done with physics - it is right. Color changed depending time of day, altitude, thickness of air masses, etc
I think the colours are not that bad at all. I believe the problem is rather that we fly always on sunny days that's why the colours have a yellowish shift. The only thing that is a bit off is that there is too little contrast in colours between the different types of meadows and fields. Rise of Flight is too desaturated.

Also the eyes and brain does play tricks on us. Something that appears to us as completely white is not white but greyish or yellowish when compared to something that is whiter.

One thing I would like to see is to have more a blueish horizon and a shift to blue when at very high altitude. Horizon only gets this whitish when it is overcast.

Edit RoF's startup.cfg file and set saturation=1.0000 and the colours are much better. For some reason, it was changed from the original 1.0000 to a washed-out 0.75 in an update of about six moinths ago.
