I never get close enough to notice the weathering effects on the skins.

Even when you look out the side of your own aircraft at your wing?

This has nothing to do about "the game engine" which is perfectly fine now. The Sequel and "feature improvements" are irrelevant to this topic. Why is a sequel in another theatre necessary to re-implement something that existed in CloD last year, and still exists today on my own PC? This topic is nothing more than an observation of an apparent act of vandalism against Spitfires in CloD that was done, for what??

These are just my observations, as an artist and someone who appreciates the enormous work that went into the design and construction of these historic aircraft, as well as the artists here who crafted in such exacting detail the skins for them. This thread is simply my own personal footnote to Cliffs of Dover.

When I'm in my own aircraft I'm looking for dots, not at my paint job.

:rolleyes:

Of course, but you do see it?

It's not that important when flying combat missions or online, but if i could choose between having it look better and what we have now, i would choose the better looking.

Plus for movie and screen shots makers its more important.

Well, now it HAS died. A game which lacks workable AI radio commands (and more AI issues), has numerous flaws in FMs, massive problems with LoD and many more massive bugs and flaws, has just recieved its "last" patch (the first "real" one, to be honest).
I just don't understand why certain people always hop in, unprovoked, and start to bash people who actually can't ignore multiple game-breaking issues. This very false sense of pride requires at least 3 rose-colored glasses stacked on top of each other.

And before anyone's asking: I am still here to see what can be made of this "abandoned battlefield". After all, I've paid for the game, too.

I have to say wonderful screenshots! I love that brand new factory Spitfire look; I absolutely hate the forced weathering effects.

Thanks for sharing!

Could you please explain how we can do this too? I hate the weathering. It's awful.

+1

Can we have old weathering with the new version of the game, or did you revert everything to the original version?
