I've been having the uneasy feeling that little by little the visuals are being dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. Before the last beta patch I thought the overal visuals were dropdead gorgeous. Now the planes start looking rougher and rougher. The cockpit's less glossy and the sunset/rise effects are being turned down. On my 5 year old computer the performance has maybe gone up 5 to 10% with the new betas. Still crappy and crashing after 5 minutes of play. I'm going to configure back to before the last beta of the game. Bit slower, crashing, but at least looking very good. Keeping my fingers crossed they give us the eyecandy back as the computing hardware increases. Right now (I know blasphemy) 1946 HSFX with AA looks almost as good as CloD. I'm getting a i2500k and a gtx570 this week and hopefully it'll look better.

Almost, as in the only thing CloD has over 1946 HSFX are the quality of the models, effects and atmospherics. Dusk, dawn, etc. Don't get me wrong, it's a magnitude better as a whole but with the last betas I feel they're moving backwards. Fix what's broken. If they go on at this rate the game will be playable in 6 months on 8 year old machines and look like European Airwar. The graphics blew my mind, now it blows my nose. I'm upgrading so I can play it the way it was looking before the last beta.

Thursday or Friday I should have my i2500k, gtx570 and switch to W7 upgrade finished and hope to be a hapier camper by then.

There are much more people whining for more performance than for more realistic graphics!!!

True. A good smooth running program with 2011 graphics is what the most would like to get. Personally I like the old pit models shown before release, with the dynamic weather and great vehicles... but with 21 frames little flying will take place.

The new cockpits are 10x better then those alpha screenshots that are being shown.

I think its funny how you people act like that is some missing secret cockpits.. When its the exact same damn thing we have now.. Hopefully yall have the breast milk warming up near by.

Easy to satisfy all: There are Video options where these hungry for more performance just should dump down their graphics and allow us to play with nice optics.

Not only the cockpits, the whole aircrafts is missing the reflections.
