So let me get this straight. The left is the current retail patch and the right is where they've turned the brightness up and the contrast down and lost performance, a.k.a. the current beta patch?

Yes that's 110% correct.

I got the sides reversed in my poll title, but you have it sorted.

my guess
the final result will be not in this patch but to the next one
where will be the final optimization

[Pato Salvaje]

My guess is that it´s the result of removing some filter that isn´t optimized, and I hope they will bring it us when they done it for non hit FPS...

I hope...

IMHO add some atmospheric fog on the left one will give the best result

Uhm. I don't get it. If left is prepatch and right post patch where is the improvement? In fact it seems to be getting poorer and flatter and worse and is a HUGE step backwards.

Also see the shadows: they are now of far lower quality. The canopy glass is no longer the same and also the light reflections are tuned down to almost IL2 levels. The metall parts on the wings now are dull grey and not shining ...
