Development Update - Tuesday August 30th 2011

[Ailantd]

I was thinking about post this or not... but I have to say it. I don´t like the new colors. All the photographic feel of old vivid colors are gone. Now this is what I call washed colors, but yes, this is the normal in video games and even movies today. But I really prefer the real life colors we have now ( pre patch ). There are some colors too much bright and too much green, of course, but wash out all the picture like its now in the new patch is not the good solution. Now we have a dark and rainy day even with no clouds and blue sky. Even inside the cockpit. The pre patch shadows in the cockpit are really really amazing. Now all that its gone. I wish they come back to the actual colors, fixing only that texture colors that are too much vivid and only increasing distant blue haze. An option to have hollywood washed colors and even WOP green effect for that people that never go outside and only know the nature from a tv screen could be a solution for that people too.

Otherwise the sound is amazing.

I must say that I have to agree. Colours are vivid in real life. Some however don't seem to have a real life, don't go outside or are brainwashed by Hollywood to believe that nature is de-saturated.

Many of us have flown over blighty numerous times or live there. The colours the game currently shows are far from realistic. The colours in the video look a lot closer to RL, but as you say, aren't as vivid. IMHO these are much closer to reality than the current game presents, but we'll see shortly.
The terrain colours in the game are currently terrible. A lot of this is to do with the lighting system, but realy the whole configuration needs re-working.

Don't judge any coloring or graphical issues until you see them first hand with your own settings. It can change a LOT.. picture of a picture etc.

Agreed. But as we had images of the old version in comparison at the same time I got the impression that it was well de-saturated.

But the sounds sound really nice now. Need still some work but a huge leap in the right direction. Well, ROF is outstanding in terms of sound and as it is the same guy I did not expect less. Kudos to this artist.
