Why did you mess up the lighting ?

You reallky don't get it.

I didn't complained about something that should be done, is not in game, or is broken.

I complain about something that was perfect and it was completely messed up!!!!

It doesn't matter what you think is important and what you think should be fixed first. The thing is that they destroyed one of the few things that were outstandin in the game for no reason.

Is this how the morings look in your area?

Cry me a river...The point is that other things are more important. I live in Southern California so yes, occasionally you see sunrises and sunsets like this. This isnt FSX with the REX add-on, you cant have dynamic skies for different looks all the time. No matter what not everyone will be happy with a given look and personally I could give a shit less what the sky looks like until the other huge technical issues are sorted. This little niggling detail you bring up can probably be fixed in 2 minutes by the devs, if they care to bother with it. Give me pink, purple, bright ass green skies for all I care, but fixing the AA, Crossfire and sound issues for many people should be first priority. After that give us more content, and perhaps when all this is done then you can have your "perfect" skies back, maybe.

This is not about what needs fixing. Go whine somwhere else about things you want fixed. This is about something that they should not have touched!

I think they tried to make the ground textures look less bright and instead of doing it the propper way, by adjusting the colors of the actual ground textures, they just moved the hue slider towards red and called it a fix.

And your original post was so useful, I'm sure the devs will gift you a free copy of CLoD for helping them identify the "pink" skies issue...

it wasn't broken before... there was no need to alter/ fix/ change it

Looks really good to me. Sunrises/Sunsets do look different from the air than on the ground. Seen them many times (I'm a commercial pilot).

Luthier,

This looks pretty good actually but is it possible to replicate the magnifying effect of the earths' atmosphere on the visual size of the sun as it descends/rises?

eg:



That would be a first in flight sims afaik. The colours in your update look fine to me, from what I've read there's usually a lot of haze in that region during summer and it sometimes does take on a pinkish hue at dawn/dusk.

Thank you for taking the time to aswer.
That image actually has a lot more orange hue than the game right now.

yes, that they do... the colour banding (of the clouds) above the clouds at late sunset are particularly surreal



"Red at dawn, sailor mourn - red at night, sailor delight"

red dawn = coming storm - red sunset = good weather
