JG1_Vonrd Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Has anyone mentioned that all the planes have the appearance of just coming out from a drenching rainstorm? The glossy look is very unrealistic. Is this a function of the alpha layer? I would much rather see them in a realistic matte finish.

I think it's about the same thing. Edited February 4, 2016 by Space_Ghost
Feathered_IV Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 That Vaseline coating really bothers me too.
SharpeXB Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 The shine makes fhe aircraft look very alive. It's a beautiful effect. Otherwise they'd look dull and lifeless. As for realism I've seen all sorts of shine or less on real WWII planes.
71st_AH_Mastiff Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 but it makes the plane cut through the air better like butter.
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 The aircraft are represented as factory fresh. The Luftwaffe AC came from the factory slightly gloss and then dulled with time. I've seen it referenced at least once in print.

Jade_Monkey Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 They are factory fresh, yet the glass has hundreds of scratches? Exactly, and the weathering and paint chips as well.

ShamrockOneFive Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) I'm not seeing this... These aircraft are largely metallic. They are going to have some serious shine to them. Edited February 5, 2016 by ShamrockOneFive 1
Feathered_IV Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 The canopies are milky white when viewed from outside too.
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 They are factory fresh, yet the glass has hundreds of scratches? Don't get me started on the scratches. I b!#ched long and hard on that one in EA. You guys are right on the paint chips though.
Jason_Williams Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 It's meant to delineate the difference between metal and wood. You can change with custom skins and alpha layers. Many have already made skins that are matte finish. Jason 2
Sokol1 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) A curious thing about Luftwaffe planes paint is the guys that assemble plastic model always use wrong paint, their planes finish looks... matte. http://www.rlm.at/galerie/03/DSC_3470.790x527.jpg http://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/images/2006/2006-1.jpg http://www.helmo.gr/gallery2/d/5993-1/05.jpg Edited February 5, 2016 by Sokol1
JtD Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 The shiny looks bothered me since early access and they look particularly bad now that we have no-winter maps. Above shiny snow it was bearable, but on autumn and summer maps it looks really, really bad. And I'm supposed to fiddle with skins myself to fix what the devs broke?
Jason_Williams Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 We didn't break anything. That's your opinion. Be more respectful or build your own sim. Jason 5
