Looking at these pictures I just have to say... this sim looks awesome!
A majority here alway complains about the dumbed down graphics since the rewrite. I agreed with that in most parts refering to the former game versions.
But these pics now look quite mature. Apart from that cloud shadows and high clouds are back. The canopy reflections are more intense as well I think. The lighting effects during dusk/dawn are fine.
I am wondering what is now still missing compared to the release version? Just out of my head I could only list the following:
- reflections of clouds/planes etc in the water below (which looked gorgeous, but also a bit unrealistic dont you think? at least in this intensity)
- morning fog over the landscape
- small calibre hit decals!!!
Did I miss something? In my opinion the game now looks stunning and overall I'm satisfied graphics-wise. Correct me if I am wrong!
