Patch Beta 2 - v15866 - October 5, 2011

It is not matter of only adjusting texture colors, because lightning must be taken into account or else you may get nice colors at noon and funky ones at dawn/dusk. They are just trying to find optimal solution making some compromises.

Exactly what I wrote..Compromises..That means that if my assumptions are true, it will be impossible to please everyone... Those who are showing early pics of cockpits as "perfect" forget that at that same time in the process of developpement, the terrain was awfull..."unrealistic colors" as I recall....And don't forget ! We still don't have the clouds, explosions ,reflections , realistic tracers and all the rest that need to be included in the code !
BUt maybe by the time the game is "completed", new tech like DX11, tessalation and other gizzmos will be well integrated and the balance will be established...

Salute!
