The color balance in AH is strange to me, also in the new screenshots. Perhaps they're too saturated as well. The colors in CLOD looks much more natural to me.

Fantastic little video by Søren Dalsgaard too...

Kinda looks like some of the mornings I have here in Calgary with low level fog in the mountains. 

Hmmm... does the fog and lighting look orange?




Yep. Strange enough it does.

Bustr you are quite an instigator with those over violent references. I know that in America everybody is supposed to get a trophy.

HTC presented something; I said 'MEH'. HT got offended and said 'show me this and how come?'. I showed that and said because, he said 'I am COAD'. I thought it would be an opportunity to discuss what he was doing/could do or him to understand what I liked but instead it started to turned sour.

You have it all twisted with what I expect, and me paying is an non issue. I enjoy the game for what it is. The fun I have mingling with other humans, friends or foe and the context provided by HT overcomes the dated graphics, primitive damage model and few FM anomalies. You are right that for me, the perfect game would be IL2 Cliffs of Dover graphics overlayed over every else Aces High, because in IL2 COD I have the feeling of being into an actual cockpit flying above an actual piece of real estate ... but I miss everything else Aces High.

HTC is working hard in improving the game for his personal reasons that I'm not pretending to know. He is posting progress pictures and we comment on them. Since we all have different standards, HTC receives various levels of reactions from Ohh Ahhh to booo. I fail to see the wrong. We all take criticisum in life from doing stuff, and those make you work harder and get better. Hell the Dodge Monaco I painted, I repainted it 3 times re-sanded down to the metal 7 times ... 2 whole summers. Yet, I still have guys saying : 'duuuude ... did you paint that with a roller?'. My answer is always 'show me what I could have done better with what I had', my inners want to say 'go to hell'.

But to go back to those 2 haze pictures, forget it's Aces High, if you get an email that say : 'Check out that new game in the making', I bet you'd say 'I'm not impressed'. I sound like a jerk I'm sure, but I'm a straight shooter. You got to call a cat a cat.

I'm with JOACH1M and TJ +3

+4

...but I'm staying optimistic as I've stated in a previous development progress post.
