What number are you using? The screenshot pics and WOFF on my PC show up a bit different in shading apparently.

Thanks

That's #4.....the look is different with weather......that shot was from a sunny day. Flying #4 now on a rainy day and it's just flat grey sky as usual.....as they say on medical disclaimers...."results may vary"....but at first blush these are really fun to try out for a different look......but frankly the devs seem to have hit the mark pretty solidly. The contrast on #4 is so deep on a bright day that everything stands out crisply. For example, here's that rainy day mission w/ a little sun leaking thru the clouds....I like the dazzle...maybe not to everybody's taste...but I haven't flown a mission yet w/ #4 that I've spent more time just marveling at the movie. Nice to have a choice....Cheers

I'm using 4 as well. Looks crisp, but not sure which is better, old or new.

old



new



old




new

Thanks Gaw
With all the choices now and the various weather conditions in the pics posted..AND the various PC's interpretation of same..it can get a bit wild picking the perfect number for the sky box color. PC 'Luxury" problems. cheers
