August 6 2011 Development Update

justme262 · #1 08-07-2011, 10:42 AM

It worries me that so many people see the screen shots as an improvement when they look so much worse to me. Washed out and colorless...

I just got COD running great with the darker terrain mod and sounds mod at 60fps with no stutters and now they are gonna change everything...

We have had new bugs introduced with patches, such as the prop pitch bug when they changed the 109prop pitch and the loadout screen not working after a patch. I hope this doesn't fix what isn't broken.

I would be much happier if they said they were fixing bugs like the controls bugs, spits mkI 100octane fuel, CSP.... adding British destroyers...ect

I am gonna make a copy of the way it is now ...

They reason they broke things is they rushed patches out and broke things and ppl moaned, now they have spent time debeloping the next patch, in fact STATED that they were going to take longer and still ppl frickin moaned

Krupi, come on now mate, you just made that up.

You or i have no idea why they broke it.

"Washed out and colorless..."

This is exactly what was missing...Any RL flyer will tell you this is the way the landscape looks like most often when flying, In England or elsewhere...So far CloD seemed to be consistently high noon with prevailing NW winds hence very clear atmosphere...this was not the case all the time, especially not during summer 1940!

Note that A/C flying a bit lower altitude than you should now be a lot easier to spot, like in real life...

I fly a bit (just PPL) and my experiences (in the UK) are that often there is no clear horizon (colours wash out), but looking down the clouds often cast great dark shadows across the landscape so you never have any uniformity of colours. At the moment I think CloD captures the horizon very well. I think as the dynamic weather patches come along we'll see some great visual improvements.

Sorry sir. We just want to ask when does the eastern front version of this game is coming out. Because we all loved the previous IL-2 game especially the dynamic Soviet fighter campaign. Me and my friends are all eager to pilot the MiG-3 and Lavochkin serious in the new IL-2 game.

Thank you in advance for replying us.

Did anybody else notice that reflections were enabled in the last beta patch and then disabled again in the official patch? It was a nice effect. I was sad to see it gone again.

I see real life pilots saying the cockpit lighting looks more realistic in the after screens. I suppose there would be a lot of ambient light in a cockpit on a sunny day...
What do the other who fly real planes think?

I fly professionally and would agree the after shots are more realistic of ambient light levels but I actually preffered the old higher contrast.....but Luthier did explain this still needs tuning.
