The new colors look nicer. Increased haze and less saturation on the landscape looks more natural now. I do feel like I am looking at a humid summer day now.

However, the colors do not match the weather! The second shot's color suggests an overcast day! The lighting is simply not harsh enough since there are only a few clouds in the sky.

Better late than never!

So, barring more botanic discoveries, we’ll have it out no earlier than the end of the day Monday.

This made me laugh. I like your sense of humor, Ilya

I can just see how it would be once the pilot comes home in a truck and not in his aircraft.

Sqd. Leader: Why did you come in on that truck!? Where's your aircraft?!
Pilot: ...got taken out by grass, Sir....
Sqd. Leader: Grass?!? How many times have I told you NOT to go chasing cows? You're a fighterpilot fighting a war, not some lollygagging tourist!
Pilot: I swear, Sir! I was at 400 feet when suddenly....grass!
Sqd. Leader: Suddenly...grass? at 400 feet? Do you honestly think that I'm going to believe this? Have you been drinking?!

Good news all in all, though. Looking forward to monday! (Never thought I'd say that on a friday afternoon, though. Weird...)

Looks great from where I'm sitting

Holi Cannoli!

When I thought it couldnt get any more beautiful!

Since the Il2 days, I have really missed this blue haze (atmospheric perspective) and I always wondered what Il2 would look like with it, and now we will have it in the game, I think it looks fantastic, how does it react to the color white? On white markings on planes, at dusk, white often appears very saturated blue (reflecting the saturated blue sky above without the massive bounce light from the sun)

Anyway, I think it looks beautiful and can't wait to see it live, keep up the great work but don't forget it's the weekend !!
