Isn't a sloped runway we see as the relief seems to indicate or is it wishful thinking on my part  ? 

A nice overall atmospheric lighting but the reflections of the fuselage at the end of the clip are excessive. Hollywood, here I come !

And someone else complained that the runway is too straight...


The reflections are too much for me as well. It's like when I see other people's use of bloom in photos and videos of their sims - the fuselage is supposed to be reflecting not emitting light!

But then the video is trying to show off the ray tracing capability, so I'll 'allow' them some leeway.
Hopefully, there will be a setting to dial it down.

I hope they don't get carried away too much on the showoff side. What is nice and fun in a fantasy game could be a little overbearing in a sim.

I'm sure there will be adjustable parameters to play with.

Again, maybe it is just me, but yes the runways in this clip and in the stall clip seem too perfect to me. The beacon of the airport also is too perfect in the stall video.

Don't get me wrong I know runways are sloped.

But after all, the generic "look" of the runways is for me more important, as this is where you are looking during your entire approach, than a reflection being too excessive.

Look at this for example, the lights are not perfect. The effect is maybe exaggerated but you see my point.

Yes but think of all these terrible screenshots, full of boom, RT, reflections and whatnots we'll see in screenshot forums. A nightmare.

I am sure this can be adjusted with a simple slider 😉

Maybe but the temptation will be too strong for some. FULL SPEED AHEAD ! ALL SLIDERS RIGHT !

I disagree. That's a shiny new composite air frame with a glossy gel coat...similar to a shiny new car's finish. You see the same type of reflection off cars driving down the road.

Right?! I think they are using the best effects possible and people still complaining they don't seem real...

I think people around here are too used to dumbed down FSims reflection effects... Those reflections on the DA-62 are pretty accurate to me. The lighting and reflections system is on par to any AAA game we have on the other genres.

Problem is.. light wavelengths are captured and perceived different via lenses and cameras in comparison to your eyes.. so it is always difficult to do an argument that something looks as per real world since everyone perceive the real world different.

Hence my reference to Hollywood in my first post. It seems that the aircraft looks as being shot in a movie, not seen by my eyes. Now, I've never seen a DA62 with that special gel coating sngcoil is refering too. So I may be wrong.

 I do not consider that the AAA games that I also play are a touchstone of realism. I don't expect them to be by the  way 😏.

I had the chance to glance some new DA-62 with their new shinning metal paint during a flight show.. they do glare a lot in the Sun, but again I am short sighted and my eyes perceive the light different from others (blurrier) unless I wear my correction glasses of course, when I do is like applying a SSAA x 8 anti-aliasing to my eyes hahaha.

It also depends on the colour, White and Blue were way more reflective than Black and Gray from the distance in direct sun light.. at least that is how my brain appreciated it at that time..

You also have to remember the resolution of the game and the resolution of the effects.

Real life is very high resolution so the point of most reflectiveness (if I can say it that way) is smaller than can be in the game.

I like it.  Its much better than flat dull and boring. (and depressing)
