Patagonia then and now

[IceManDBB]

The Patagonia bushtrip was the first one I did back in Oct2020, that I have screenshots of. I’m currently reflying it in VR, as my bushtrips were reset to 0% at some point in the past.

I thought it would be interresting to see if and how much the visuals changed compared to back then, considering this is a region that hasn’t seen any specifically mentioned updates between then and now.

The water mask now shows broken off parts of the glacier in the lakes.

There’s an additional cloud layer.

The added low cloud layer made navigating by looking for rivers more of a challenge now:

The colour temp also seems different now. This could be because of the atmospheric changes they made, or because I took the screenshots in VR on the Quest3 as I use the colour enhancement from VirtualDesktop.

Thanks for sharing did you use any addons ?

I have a couple of addons like WeLoveVFR and other things that add man made structures, but those don’t apply here. No addons that change weather/atmosphere or the landmass.
