The update is great but 1 thing

[Benny Moore]

I don't care about how pretty it looks, really, but I am not flying until they fix the darkness problem.

[ZRpilot]

Maybe just make the terrain a little lighter. I have only seen grass that dark once and it was fake. Get real grass colors then it wont hurt our eyes that much.

Yes it is a stupid first post but what can I say?

[Slash27]

Looked better before?  You guys are nuts.

[Sincraft]

yea this sucks.  Terrain is great but the brightness needs turned about about 50% to even come close to real life?

Aren't there any real pilots OR PEOPLE WHO HAVE FLIED IN THEIR LIVES that realize this is SO far off that it's almost laughable?

on a positive note, the sun is washing my screen when going direct in, but things are no longer annoying like they used to be.  However with screen scratches etc, the glare was about right before in comparison to 'real life' but I do prefer it now

Sometimes I think only adults should be allowed to post...

I don't see how you all can say the old terrain was better as Slash said you all are nuts.  The reason it looks so different to you is well it is its completely different play with it for an hour or two and you get really used to it, your depth perception comes back things don't look as "dark" and its quite nice to just well fly around and enjoy the view!

BTW waffle did you brand all your sheep?

That's ridiculous.  I've seen real landscapes from the air on cloudless days at high noon, and this looks nothing like it.  Aces High II at noon, right now, looks like the real world at dusk.  The previous version was much more correct.  Don't you tell me that this is "better."  If I have to, I'll compare photographs to prove it.

It makes my eye HURT to fly now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flew for maybe 20 minutes.

Got a headache!  Gamma was at 1.4 before patch, now it's at 1.5 but doesn't seem to help much.

May have to quite AH to avoid eye strain/headaches

Shaddaup!! You've posted the same thing in at least 4 different threads. Give it a rest.  You must have been really annoying when you were a little kid... or maybe you are still one.  

[Guppy35]

I like it.  Took a 'walk' around too.  Ran across a spinning windmill.   Then the moon rose.  It was fun to just fly and enjoy the view.

[Husky01]

LMAO so you wanna compare real life photos to aces high? a video game!

 To much!!!:rofl

[NOT]

EVERYTHING looks good on my screen. maybe you need a new one.




NOT

NO!

I've been a long time customer and I wish to remain so.

If it takes 50 post then expect 50 post.

You don't like it! Don't read it.

Well grab your Polaroid get get after it before you pop a vessel. I guess you're the only one to ride in a damn airplane around here.

LOL , Newbs was saying. Wrag is so old he looks like a prune.


I told Newbs that was too much info but well, thats the way he is.

and yes arenas are too dark, yall young ones eyes are better than us old folks.

tuned gamma til it was too bright. there is no setting that is easy on the old eyes.

yall wet behind the ears don't get it yet and I laugh because your day is coming. yep the day will come when you go to bed tired and get up tired. joints all creaky on you. can't see good or hear good, etc.

hope I'm around on the porch in the rocking chair, or walking with my walker, when yall start the complaints because then I am really gonna ROTFLMAO at yall.

hope all of yas live a long life to suffer the pains of old age.

Gotta chime in that the new trees look great, as does the beach and some of the ideas for placing folaige around the bases.  Also, the bases a koola and the Firefly seems well done

HOWEVER, I have to agree that visually everything is both too stark and without necessary color contrast to get any depth perception, or textual clues to indicate level ground vs. hills, etc.  Also, the water colors are wrong, wrong, wrong.  Especially the lake in the town.

First time in the town I didn't even recognize the lake and drove right in it.  Took me two minutes to realize it wasn't an invisible glitch, but that I had run into to the lake (and it was now undrivable).  It looked like another, slightly differently colored patch of ground.  Even though eventually we will know this is water, NOT being able to visually identify the lake as water on first introduction means its graphically missing the necessary clues (in this case color) to identify it.

In general everything is a bit dark and un-contrasty (and I run constantly with 1.3 gamma).  I asked over channel if this was night, but someone point out the sun was directly overhead.  LOL

If visuals stay this way, I'm seriously concerned my eyes won't be able to adapt.
