London looks different

Nomad base probably not changed either

But some others do look better

Should Sidewinder station interior looks so? (vanilla setting). Ive installed fresh FL and CF mod new (including download from portal filebase) on my PC today. .. Installation went smooth with very few issues after I started game like were huge menu's fonts (downloaded font file from filebase solwed it) and mouse behaviour where my new modern mice have weird imput lag , ghostly moves or something like this .. but old logitech is working still well.

That green space visible from station windows is not exactly fitting Alaska environment, reminds me another system linked with X-3043 ... is that correct??

Not sure about Juneau Shipyard which do not have bar at all, I've docked there now ... it's loong time since I played last FL/CF so maybe there was not bar before too.

Have Planet Crete new textures? ... (that docking cross not looks familiar and some other details too )

Planet Gortyn

this time using reshade setting. Looks tempting to make one new journey through CF space

Well, there is few hundreds of stations in CF mod if my memory serves me well and using different shader makes look of things different too (not mentioning such small detail that now I play on new 24" 144Hz monitor vs previously on small laptop screen).

However now I have much better idea what to look at, nothing better as to make direct comparison . Below on the left side is image posted few days ago (old), to the right is first updated with vanilla shader and second is updated with dx10/12 recommended option shader. New look especially for dx10-12 recommended shader is really nice, materials of things look much more natural. It's really a big difference!

Btw, I yesterday visited also Sovetskaya system as there was mentioned updated skybox and this new one is very nice too.

Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R

Most detail improvements can be seen from closer distance.

I definitely will replay SP campaign again when will be most of improvements released. I thought even about reworking mod intro with updated graphics and using new HW which gives me much better possibilities like using full screen videos in 16:9 and new shaders. Is possible to think about making new mod installer once you will have all improvements released? …. I think there isn’t any other old game which still keep me interested like FL+CF

Planet Manhattan bar seems got update too, I ... sigh, I only really regret that old images which I had tons were lost somehow ... I only found few old images from Manhattan bar and there are clearly visual differences .. walls stones looks improved, floor, tables, seats on bar too.

Note: installing Davinci Resolve, I will need littlebit relearn how to edit stuff there, but it should work nicely on my PC.

Just few seconds taken from initial movie of the SP campaign with a Freeport 7 station before attack ... Davinici installed, few fast cuts, fading added, export was working smoothly.

Planet Houston

Sheffield station bar seems have missing desks textures.
