I fly online most nights with TS3 and have yet to hear one person say they like the cockpits in fact most have made negative comments.

The cockpits were one of the best things in the game IMHO but now they have lost the quality that made them so great...

I am aware you are working on other parts of the sim but I hope at some point we get the awesome details/effects back.

My humble conclusion is that Luthier's team is having a big dillema: to fix the terrain's color sheme, they have to modify everything in the code, including the cockpits...They are stiil trying to find a compromise.....

SAlute !

Calm down, calm down.

I think Luthier and his boy's have a mountain to climb. If Cliffs of Dover has to be faulted, it has to be for being over ambitious in it's goals. Had it been launched with less content, got it up and running, then added more to the sim, it might have had an easier birth. I know that Gaijin have released Beta Benchmarking software to it's registered Beta testers, I being one of them, to test out it's forthcoming World of Planes. When the Beta software was run, your system results were downloaded to Gaijin, so that they could see how your pc ran. Their aim to try out the new game engine on all systems and to tune the software for high and low spec pc's. Now I have a low spec pc (see below), and my fps never dropped below 58. With hindsight, maybe CoD should have been released as a Beta to hi and lo spec pc's users to do the same tests, Luthier might have had more sleep time. As for me, coming late to the party (mid August), I have had Launcher exe problems from the start. In single player mode, I could fly all day, go to multiplayer and I would get Launcher exe failure, usually when I was in a kill situation. I've scoured the forums for tips to eradicate this problem to no avail, all have failed. Beta 1.03 was the best for me, I could join all the servers with the exception of the Hyperlobby servers, now with 1.04, I can only join Steppe Beta and Isle of Doom servers. With most of the other servers, I can load the game to the cockpit that appears all black with ghost like instruments then (you guessed), Launcher exe failure. I'm resigned to the fact that until the Launcher exe problem is sorted out, I won't be able to fly in CoD. This is a shame, because CoD is a truly fantastic combat sim, the best I have ever flown, but as it stands at the moment, it's standing at the bottom of my flight sims. Good luck Luthier, I hope you crack this Launcher exe problem (as I'm sure you will), I'll be the first to crack open a bottle of "Shampers" and dole out the cigars.

If I recall correctly, one dev team member (or ex member) has said, that it was possible to get almost photoelectric colors even in IL2 1946, but only for particular time of day, while colors for other time of the day would be incorrect. 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!

Because it keeps crashing to desk top with Launcher exe failure. If it didn't keep crashing, it would be my top flight sim. Copy!!!!
