Les Vin, Les Femmes et Les Chansons
« on: November 07, 2020, 09:49:42 AM »
Thank you to Lyric1 for finding me info for this skin.

"Les Vin, Les Femmes et Les Chansons" (The wine, the women and the songs) was the P-38L of Major Paul Sabo, who was CO of the 485th Fighter Squadron in late 1944. As part of the 370th Fighter Group this squadron flew ground attack sorties against German forces and installations across Northern Europe from mid-1944 until the end of the war.

Looks great, Greebo.  It has a real gritty, authentic appearance.   Happy to see this skin in game.

I like it G, but that hue leans purple on my screen.   I don't think it's lighting.

Could it be monitor settings?  It looked fine to me this morning on an old MacBook Pro.   Today I upgraded my desktop to a 1440p 144Hz LG monitor, and I see what Vraciu is saying.  Might not have noticed it without his comment, but I can detect a ever-so-slight purplish hue  with the new monitor.  Of course, the color saturation on the new monitor seems higher than my old monitor.

I see it on multiple screens from iPad to cellphone to monitor.   It's an easy fix to tweak it a tad.  Would be worth it IMO.

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 don't  see it on my phone. I will check it out on my monitor which is a 40 in tv.

When it's released I can fly it offline and compare it to the screenshots.   However, I had the same opinion of the metal on the old shape, too.   I don't know what technique is best but pulling a few percentage points of purple out of that layer would highlight the contrast in a side by side comparison.  Then you would see it if you can't now.

I do see the slight tinge of purple on my TV. Interesting.
