Turn your colour levels down.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease! I can't fly anymore so just to see what it looks like would be nice. Thank you Ball, my honey-bunny.

Why can't you spell? It's color.
:furious

Perhaps he is British?
If so, "colour" is the correct spelling. Also see: Australian, Canadian?, Indian, New Zealander and Pakistani.

I think you'll find it is you who is spelling 'colour' incorrectly.
I should know, I'm German.
-
Why would a German know the correct spelling in a language that is not his first?
:noid
-
Why would an American? :aok
I might not actually be German, either.
-
Joking aside I would love to see some better pics of the new terrain.

Dowding does sound real German I must admit.
:)
Good to see you out of the OClub hehe.
-
Hehehe :D
Actually, my surname (which strangely is very close to your callsign) is of German origin and my Dad side only arrived in Britain within the last 150 years.
I'm waiting for Combat Tour to arrive and I'll be back flying then. I wonder how many others are doing the same?
-
Quite a few I think. Will be great to have you back in the skies.
:aok

Totally offtopic, but I learned to spell colour as "color" when I was writing my MSc thesis on color coordinate systems. Colour looks prettier than color, though.
For those interested, I used this book as my primary source: G. Wyszecki & W.S. Stiles, Color Science - Concepts and Methods, Quantitative Data and Formulae, 2nd edition, John Wiley & Sons Inc., New York, 1982. :)

Picture hanger doesn't work anymore so I posted on another BB board that has picture posting :) yaa
Here a link to pic of the sheep :)
BTW I could see the little buggers from miles away and it's not to dark on my setup . I do have viberance (speeling) on to 20% or so as a standard as my monitor is almost 8 years old now .

Of almost 30 posts in this thread, which is naemd "Screenshots!", only two posts showed up with an actual screenshot, and one of them was a joke shot.
Gee, Stang, people seem to hate you!

:D EDIT stang also there are a few good shots of the new fields in mine.
-
very nice pictures there.
im still not sure if i really like some of the terain the fields are nice but when you get out a ways it looks like they got kinda lazy sometimes. i really like the beaches but it looks like they copied and pasted each beach. i like the terain but it needs more crops farms and forest. i think like a huge tree forest that breaks up some times would be cool too. but it just looks lazy in some spots. any 1 else think that. or am i crazy.

Here are some screen shots from one particular terrain.
It looks BEAUTIFUL! -- but . . .
the lighting needs to be increased, in my opinion. (The light for me is too dark, with gamma adjust at 1.0, color temperature at 6500, monitor total gamma as judged by utilities at about 2.2.)

I noticed that the different arenas have varying degrees of gamma and detail differences. For example, here are two screen shots I took, one in the Orange arena, the other in the Blue arena. I have not adjusted anything between the two. Notice the Orange arena is a bit darker looking and less detailed then the Blue arena. Perhaps these terrain problems we are seeing are more a function of the design of the map than the update itself.
Both shots are taken from 3,000 ft at 1600x1200 32bit and 1024 textures.

HomeBoy, your screenshots are a little lighter than mine, but they are much more washed out looking. What did you use to get the images you posted? I'm wondering why your images would look more washed out than mine.

No what the funny thing is, you repeating what has already been stated numerous times in Guppy's bait thread for weeners.. err whiners.

What I posted has nothing to do with anything, but the fact that he used a picture I posted in a topic I started about some glitches in the new update.
Then calls it a whining thread. When in fact I went out of my way in that topic, to tell people to stop *****ing about the update and to offer up legit glitches for the HT staff so we can get them fixed.
So his is a personal attack on a legit issue I posted with the game. So I just pointed out he's nothing more than a whiner himself being he always whines about other people whom he thinks is whining.
As for a Guppy's bait thread I have no clue what you are taking about.
Funny how the complaints are always nothing more than whines according to some of you but we've seen what like what 4 patches since this new update. Guess they must have found some glitches.. I wonder how they found those?
-
Making glitches apparent is one thing. Complaining how dark the game is, or how bad the graphics are, or anything that doesn't suit you or something you don't like, and complaining about that, is what is making people mad, and which is where the "whine" flames start.
If it's a legit issue about a tank in a hill, or the machine gun fire sound while in GVz, something that is actually wrong with the game, and not with a particular person or group's standards, is perfectly fine.
Thing is, I feel the same way Furby does, only thing is, he's done wasting his time trying to explain what a "whine" is compared to a legit complaint. Me on the other hand.. I find it quite fun. :)

I'm not going to argue with you so this will be the last post in this thread about it.
Complaining about how dark the game is, may not be a legit "glitch" to you but judging by how many topics there are about it I think quite a few other players think differently from you.
For me unless I raise the gamma up to brighten everything up, then the darkness strains my eyes and I can't play. So I have to choose between straining my eyes or having everything look washed out and crappy. Is that a choice I should have to make when I pay a monthly fee? Seems I'm not the only one that has that same issue either.
The flame wars start from the exact same handful of people. Every time it's the same few board trolls that start calling people whiners or this or that.. My guess is they are probably Republicans. :rofl

I cheated I guess. I'll explain, you can decide.
Apparently, when you create a screenshot, your gamma setting is not used in the production of the screenshot. My screenshots looked exactly like they would if I had my gamma set at 1.0 instead of 1.7 which is what I use. I simply increased the gamma in the screenshot with PaintShop to 1.7 to match what I see while in the game. Thus the cheat.
I probably should have explained this to begin with but I was more interested in showing what my views look like than describing how I made the screenshot.
Anyway, thanks for bringing this up.
BTW, this thread not only violates Rule #2, it holds it in contempt! :eek:
-
Not dark anymore- I love it

Or you can just buy a new monitor. I run it fine with the different setting my monitor offers. People has to upgrade all the time when a new patch comes out, this one isn't any different.
