Those are nice shots! Do you have a feel for anything that changed in the update? Do things look better, or perform better, etc.?
Well for me the clouds finally work, in recent version I had problems with cloud rendering. The clouds shadows seems nice but not working 100% yet, there are still some weird brightness/tone changes when sitting in cloud shadow on the ground and looking around. Overall sim works pretty fluid as it did before for me so no change in that regard.
Played a bit to see whats new and uninstalled it - the sim is gorgeous but there is nothing for me to do in it atm.
... I will wait patiently for some carrier ops with the Hornet or Tomcat whichever comes first.
