I liked it. Made for a great sunrise flight across the Adriatic. When combat came though, I was looking forward to some more visibility. :)
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I have never had a hiccup with my new rig until last night. As I approached the buffs I got a shuddering and then poof was gone.

I did not like it

Loved it!   Anyone who has flown in that part of the world knows that you will encounter haze and reduced vis. 

In my opinion:   Given that the targets are relatively close together, having the reduced vis makes for a bigger adrenaline pump when you 'suddenly' detect a flock of bad guys within 5 miles and closing fast.

2 cents worth,

With the new version of the game, they took away the color settings. I think HT is using some sort of black magic to calculate all the colors based on time of day, altitude, etc. I like it.

It thought it was very romantic.
