Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) They seem to have changed the water color and other things, maybe its realted...also, colors are very cold and everything looks much less realistic than before...hope it is just something temporal.

Tinkickef Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) He said his setting is high. As is mine. 2.5 is a huge step backwards in visual quality over 2.2. Certainly not what Wags videos promised..... Paid for DLC has suffered for Caucusus. Not something I would gave expected... I'm certainly considering downloading 2.1 again.

imacken Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Water is not transparent close to the coastlines as before. Just a sharp edge. Water quality set to HIGH. Been discussed a lot here in the last couple of weeks. Hopefully ED are working on sorting out the whole water/cockpit colour/contrast/shading issue in 2.5.

Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Certainly, looking at these screens its obvious that 2.5 (at least for Normandy) is much worse than 2.2...imho latest 2.2 was the pinacle of DCS visuals. 2.2 lighting, water, trees, color, haze, etc. were pretty much perfect!:cry: Maybe its just a temporal thing...

I'm sure ED will be burning the midnight oil to fix it. With such a big upgrade, it is understandable to have bugs, however in light of the 2.5 promo videos, it is disappointing to have such huge differences in quality carried over to other terrains. Normandy and Ugra media were coming along brilliantly with much well deserved praise. In the meantime I am attempting to download 2.2 again, wish I had not followed the prompt to delete it. I feel somewhat sorry for the guys at ED, it must have been a hell of a lot of work that on the face of it looked great, but when let out into the open was found to be a bit of a disappointment to many. They will fix it. We just need to be patient...and go back to 2.2 if possible. I need to torrent 9GB in total so far for 2.2 engine, terrains, aircraft ect. I guess the only people not happy are those of us with NTTR and Normandy that are used to the higher quality. Without a doubt, if I only had Caucasus, I would have been over the moon.
