Today I fiddled with my graphic settings and made some screenshots to test the lighting,
the reflections, the gloss and everxything the new shaders do.

I was simply amazed about what I saw!
My picture may show, how the wing surface has not only a glossy shine - you can even see
the linnen texture of the canvas, and scratches in the sealing laquer! Triple WOW!
Thank you so much for these huge improvements, AnKor and OBD -
they are just wonderful!

Yessir. WOFF 3 is top shelf all the way.
Can't wait for some more stuff coming out.
After OBD takes a nice rest break of course.

Agreed, plus worth mentioning are the improvements to atmosphere and scenery shading as well. A great deal of it isn't the technical part, but just really good artistic choices that make the game feel right and look right. And the planes look better than ever, especially when you add in the now-free aircraft pack!


If you're having trim problems, I feel bad for you son
I got ninety-nine problems, but my pitch ain't one...

Would be nice to know other people's settings.

Mine are reflections=5, glossy=5. Which is WOFF's default.

I run WOFF Default also for now.
Things look so good I have had no reason to play with my settings.
I put a couple pics here:
