I tried in the past to get convincing fog or poor vis and was never happy -looks like I can get much closer to what I was after now.
Anyone fancy a bit of poor weather either this flight or maybe another day soon?
The option to alter the trigger-box shape is very useful too -the circles were quite limiting at times.
I see they've improved the Russian A2A weapons (or some of them, R-27) which will help my lousy A2A attempts recently...

Syria looks amazing - almost as if it were programmed for 2.7...

Screenshots / 2.7 looks 'alright'
« Last post by 159th_Archer on April 14, 2021, 08:56:14 PM »OK, I should have concentrated on the clouds, but I was rather taken by some new MiG-21 skins -lovely Lightning skin and -who needs camo?!- this Hungarian AF one if you like to stand-out in a crowd!
Bottom pic shows how the light now works so much better when you fly in and out of cloud patches -the light works perfectly now and doesn't flicker or anything -just fades in-and-out. Nice.

There is an issue (as they say it's still WIP) with ambiance under the clouds, which I have only yet seen a problem with full overcasts, but mostly, it's a wow thing for what I've seen so far.
More impressed than I expected, actually.
Had a quick look to see if I can spot anything not mentioned (such as new ground units, triggers and other stuff in ME), but so far, not seen anything.
Really looking forward to having a flight proper, soon.

BTW looks some good stuff in there.
