August 6 2011 Development Update

Did anybody else notice that reflections were enabled in the last beta patch and then disabled again in the official patch? It was a nice effect. I was sad to see it gone again.

I see real life pilots saying the cockpit lighting looks more realistic in the after screens. I suppose there would be a lot of ambient light in a cockpit on a sunny day...
What do the other who fly real planes think?

I fly professionally and would agree the after shots are more realistic of ambient light levels but I actually preffered the old higher contrast.....but Luthier did explain this still needs tuning.

I'm waiting for the patch to see what we really get but if the after shots turn out to be a good representation I'd say the cockpit is washed out but not the terrain.

Without reading trough the whole tread, two things that came up to my mind:

1. Luthier is talking about a "Development Update", not about a patch- or bug-fix update. To me, this sounds like they know exactly that there is still a lot of work to do and they are also planing (and able(in terms of money, etc.) to do it!
Sounds positive for the future!

2. I am okay with the rare posts from luthier. People are moaning anyway and a weekly update with hundreds of replies like "but my priority-list looks different" etc. doesn´t help anyone.

So I am looking forward to the next patch and hope for the best
