I really fail to see and understand how you guys can perceive the after screenshots as better. They are completely washed out, by having the fog effect applied on the aircraft and inside the cockpit too, which it shouldn't. unless that it's a foggy day, or an early morning mist, the landscape it's way too washed out too..

I don't understand you guys jumping in head on and stating that you like them. I wouldn't have said anything to Luthier about this, as the man said work in progress so it is not a final outcome, but seeing you hearding the like button it's kind of disturbing.

also, I really hope the new render is a dx11 one. this rework of the render seems kinda of fishy to me. I'm not saying it is not done, I'm just saying that it actually fits a reasoning saying that actually IL2CoD was released on a placeholder IL2 1946 engine (the technical proof-of-concept one they've developed using the old IL2 one to test the new FM & DM), with some modifications, they were forced to release it like that (with lots of "placeholder" parts), and they are about to catch up from behind with the new engine. a reasoning getting stronger and stronger with each step they are making..

we can't judge it by some screenshots... let's wait for the patch ok?

now I feel the things will be better.... thanks again Ilya

+1
there's probably some tweaking to do anyway
clearly they are doing some major rework and thats not something to be criticising given the general state of the game.

the terrain looks very promising
but the shandows is a little washed out in the cockpit And with worse FPS
also the water has changed and i liked that water
anyway i'm sure they will be an awesome patch

I have to say that purely from a visual standpoint the "before" cockpit shot was better than "after". If the main idea is to make the dials more readable in a bright sunny day then I guess that's a compromise one can live with, but still I do prefer the original shot. Outside looks good.

1.) Graphics - Definitely needs adjusted, the old colors look more vibrant and the new shots colors look washed out. Also with the fps showing I see the same fps in before and after shots. Based on the before after shots the beta graphics look like a downgrade to something crappy.

2.) Sound - Current sounds are terrible so it won't take much for it to be considered an improvement.

Guess I'll have to wait and see what the final result will be after adjustments.

So, they switched the entire core game engine from old IL2 to the new CoD and the patch is still under 1 GB.

That is some serious coding going on there.

P.S. The colours is NOT yet tuned.

Good work Luthier and team, as others have said its good to hear how much work is been done and we should wait till the actual patch arrives before busting a vein.
