Excellent!! Amazing sounds there Luthier. ME109,ME110 and steam engine sounds are very realistic and will add loads to the realism of the sim. I can't wait to here the Merlin sounds for the Spitfire and Hurricane too.

Keep up the good work. You're doing a great job!

New patch should come with a INCONTINENCE WARNING judging by the number of guys wetting themselves.

I love the bipolar, high-strung attitude of some people here. Everyone gets so excited (OMG you guys rock, best news ever!!!) and then so bummed (buggiest game ever, the sky is falling down, this game is doomed).

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the dev's hard work and I'm looking forward to the patch but some of you guys need to calm down, you act like the patch is going to fix everything and then a few hours after release you are on the forums complaining about bugs/features because you expected too much.

You guys need to be more realistic, it's complex software, things will go wrong, new bugs will appear etc. Just bear that in mind when the patch comes out and you won't get a shock if something else breaks. Also don't forget it's BETA.

I was thinking about post this or not... but I have to say it. I don´t like the new colors. All the photographic feel of old vivid colors are gone. Now this is what I call washed colors, but yes, this is the normal in video games and even movies today. But I really prefer the real life colors we have now ( pre patch ). There are some colors too much bright and too much green, of course, but wash out all the picture like its now in the new patch is not the good solution. Now we have a dark and rainy day even with no clouds and blue sky. Even inside the cockpit. The pre patch shadows in the cockpit are really really amazing. Now all that its gone. I wish they come back to the actual colors, fixing only that texture colors that are too much vivid and only increasing distant blue haze. An option to have hollywood washed colors and even WOP green effect for that people that never go outside and only know the nature from a tv screen could be a solution for that people too.

Otherwise the sound is amazing.

I must say that I have to agree. Colours are vivid in real life. Some however don't seem to have a real life, don't go outside or are brainwashed by Hollywood to believe that nature is de-saturated.

Many of us have flown over blighty numerous times or live there. The colours the game currently shows are far from realistic. The colours in the video look a lot closer to RL, but as you say, aren't as vivid. IMHO these are much closer to reality than the current game presents, but we'll see shortly.
The terrain colours in the game are currently terrible. A lot of this is to do with the lighting system, but realy the whole configuration needs re-working.
