Patch Beta 2 - v15866 - October 5, 2011

[Smokeynz]

Colours look better in this update patched version.
Contrast is better.
Haze is better, can see aircraft at distance now.

I would suggest lowering the haze a tad more or have levels like like cloud assignable in FMB. Sometimes there is little haze, or moisture from humidity, other times there is alot. Part of weather and should be tunable.

I would suggest taking a little Red out of the dark grey, a click or two. The darker dash board (109) can look a little red. Unless this is correct of course, depends if the dash wasn't pure grey or not.
Maybe the dash lights are bleeding through the intire dashboard, so maybe check that.

I see the "red out" bug, some areas are full black, possibly linked to a particular colour or shading.

A bug (I have had this from default) where I lose USB controls periodically, the usb connections drop from time to time.(I hear the windows system disconnect sound as per unplug) This only happens in CLOD, so that is the isolation.
I have tried powered usb hubs etc, but same effect.
Typically I lose an older style USB to RS232 which drives my rudder.
I also periodically lose my TIR3, (plus TIRclip for 6DOF)
If I refly in an online run server I can obtain the controls back.


I note my comments about colour and contrast are from a fully calibrated system. I run a Video calibration service for high end video and calibrate PC's aswell.
Others who comment about colours, contrast should calibrate their monitors and video systems before commenting about colour or contrast.
The built in windows system is not good enough, it requires software and measurement device.
