With so many bugs in a new release I hve only one comment : Bill Gate get out of Luthier's body !

I hve to say that after a syst restart the game ran well without a single CTD in 5 hours.

Regarding the colors I don't like them either. I know that everybody has his own opinion but now I feel like flying in a Marvel comics book.

I did a clean install and let Steam restore to the latest official patch, then copied the patch 2 and the hotfix. No crashes after a couple of online flights (approx 1 h overall). All maxed out/on, except for the anti-epilepsy (the reinstall restored the epilepsy on, dunno why). Smooth flight as before the patch, and better overall lighting/colors. I agree that the 109 cockpit looks too contrasted.

I like the colors and sound, I like the fact that the interior and outside doesn't look like Im in a perpetual haze..just my opinion..to each his/her own....in the end...we will get what we get, and hopefully different individuals will be able to do various environment mods like SH5, if this is possible with this game...dont see why not, but Im not a programmer.

Yeah ingsoc no problem at all, provided that it's a good brand unit. And mine is a 2 years old psu. Before upgrading the psu I decided to give mine a try, and so far so good. Did the prime95 stress tests and all ...

If you listen at psu manufacturers, you'd need a 1 GW PSU ... lol.

I just tried this latest beta guys...wtg. I was a little apprehensive with all the haters in this thread complaining, but the game is looking really good. The colors are really looking awesome. Just about perfect on my end

Also, anybody complaining about the cockpits is out of their f'ing minds

109 flyby sounds are EPIC!

My video test is here:

Colours look better in this update patched version.
Contrast is better.
Haze is better, can see aircraft at distance now.

I would suggest lowering the haze a tad more or have levels like like cloud assignable in FMB. Sometimes there is little haze, or moisture from humidity, other times there is alot. Part of weather and should be tunable.

I would suggest taking a little Red out of the dark grey, a click or two. The darker dash board (109) can look a little red. Unless this is correct of course, depends if the dash wasn't pure grey or not.
Maybe the dash lights are bleeding through the intire dashboard, so maybe check that.

I see the "red out" bug, some areas are full black, possibly linked to a particular colour or shading.

A bug (I have had this from default) where I lose USB controls periodically, the usb connections drop from time to time.(I hear the windows system disconnect sound as per unplug) This only happens in CLOD, so that is the isolation.
I have tried powered usb hubs etc, but same effect.
Typically I lose an older style USB to RS232 which drives my rudder.
I also periodically lose my TIR3, (plus TIRclip for 6DOF)
If I refly in an online run server I can obtain the controls back.


I note my comments about colour and contrast are from a fully calibrated system. I run a Video calibration service for high end video and calibrate PC's aswell.
Others who comment about colours, contrast should calibrate their monitors and video systems before commenting about colour or contrast.
The built in windows system is not good enough, it requires software and measurement device.
