I do believe most of us have it turned off.

On a related note, now that we have all this new content, should we try to find a new opening video showcasing what IL-2 has evolved into? Maybe as a contest? We all know how many talented movie makers we have in this community.

I like the idea of a new movie and new music to go along with that. If its good I may even turn it back on.

Yeah, I do in my main install but when I loaded up V4.11 as a new install to check it out, there was the movie again and I just noticed how dark it looked. I went back to the other installations I have and turned it on just to check. It's much darker. Just wondering why?

IIRC, those are not real prerendered movies, those are actually tracks replayed by the game engine. Since there were some changes in light effects in the engine the "video" is also affected.

I'm just going to take a look at the intro. I haven't seen it in ages.

That would be an interesting contest!
