If fact go back to the last " official " path and compare the cockpits. This most recent " beta"patch further washes out the coloring and reduced the 3D look of the entire cockpit. The spinning prop is cartoonish, in certian lighting you barely see thru it. In addition ,I should not be able to distinguish my wingmans " spinning" prop thru my canopy from 100 yard distance, any distance for that matter. When dust, fire, and/or smoke are present the frame rates drop further than the previously released beta. Using the original release as the bench mark, the net improvement is non existant, 18 months from the release.

Agree about the prop lighting ... Frustrating to get eyes on a bogey at distance....come around... only to lose sight of it because the prop obscures your view......not to mention you can't see the runway very well when landing with the sun at your back

arn't these things that would happen in real life? I was watching an air show at the weekend and was interested to see how a small plane does go out of sight fairly quickly in real life too. It was quite cloudy though!

Another irratating issue is by virtue of blurring details ,soften the lines of distinction in an effort to pick up framerates you cannot distiguish AI from almost any distance until they are right on top of you.
