The disappointing thing is, there's a politely-worded post on their forum that demonstrates the difference between the game with the brown-filter and the game retouched in Photoshop and the difference is stunning. The game really would look absolutely fantastic without it. But do you see the developers listening to that poll that requests an option to remove the brownness? Nope.
It's going to become a joke in the future of flightsims, "Do you remember Wings of Prey?" "Yeah, it was more brown than Quake!"
If Oleg had brought out Wings of Prey himself, I would be more disappointed than I was a few years ago when Oblivion came out, I played it for two hours and realised it wasn't as good as Morrowind despite the hype. For much the same reasons - reducing complexity and enjoyable gameplay in favour of graphics.

TheGrunch, can you copy and post this guy's message here, or at least give us a link? Might be interesting for the folks who actually think it's realistic...

[TheGrunch]

Yeah, sure. Currently the poll requesting the option is up to 41 for, 3 against:

Woooah, way better!

If this was properly introduced in-game, I might even consider buying it.

43 against 3 is a pretty big difference.

I dunno, I think somewhere between the two, maybe about 2/3 of the way toward the blue would be more realistic (with my eyes, on my monitor).

That's why I mentioned "properly" there.

This way it's still unrealistic. Thing is, why not be normal and use the same settings as IL-2, anyway? Did they HAVE to make it Holywoodish, in first place? Of course, matter of taste, but still...
