I thought it was unbearable too, but then I went to my vid. card's software (nvidia 6800 GT), and adjusted the gamma for all channels, while AH was running, then when it got bearable for Aces High, I saved it as "AH2", went back into the game, and adjusted gamma from within AH. It worked. Not only is the terrain clear, it is very very nice and rather gentle. Believe it or not, it is as clear as AH1 and the original AH2, with much better trees, and NO eyestrain.

So everytime I want to play Aces High, I select "AH2" (right click on desktop, select properties etc. etc.) and I am good to go. When I am through, I just go back and select "standard" which has the defaults setting.

don't forget the sun darken that too
and the clouds
and the airplanes and vehicles also

thats not good enough.
they should put the old terrain tiles back until they fix the new ones if it is going to take a long time.

Not that this needs my input, but by the grace of someone else I was able to fly for a while yesterday.

There is a definite problem with depth perception. It's gone, there is none unless you're right on top of something.

Aspect ratios seem to have changed for GVs. In other words they appear smaller at close range than they did before.

Hills, when you can make them out are more like flat walls.

But I'll say this, the lack of a response from HTC tells me they are aware of the problem and scrambling to fix it. Otherwise they would have posted what to do to correct the problem on our systems. They wouldn't leave us hanging. Be patient. It will be fixed.

It is , I'm currently on an other PC than my usual one and the configuration is crappy like hell ,before correcting the contrast was so off the picture was almost black and white.

I'm trying to tune this Dell monitor since 1 hour now.
I think the correct way to calibrate this junk is to drop it in the nearest trash.

It's Navin.

And I am very very surprised and a little worried about the deafening silence from HTC on this.

how many of you see this : link
correctly ?

All this gamma stuff seems kind of stupid. All of the sudden 1000 people have their monitors set incorrectly, whereas for years it wasn't a problem.

I've worked in IS for many years, and insisting that the customer is the problem is a bad idea and a real easy way to find yourself in big trouble.

Occam's Razor, people.

Color temprature UP

Turned mine from 6500K to over 8500K

Set gamma to 1.5.

Looks good in AH now. Everything NOT so dark!

But geeezzz it still has an affect on everything else...................

How many of those 1000 people have ever checked their calibration ?
For your information a brand new monitor IS NOT calibrated.

Plus I don't count 1000 people posting but less than 20.

I guess you kinda missed my point, perhaps I wasn't being clear. Up until 2.10, monitor calibration was not an issue, and as far as I know isn't an issue for many other commercially available games, i.e. the default settings are playable. Now it is. Instead of pointing the finger at the players, it might be wise to assess the changes made to 2.10 i.e. the terrain textures and attributes and revert or change accordingly.
