Nice shots Rodolphe, thanks for posting.

I wasn't against all lines in fields since tractors/horses cutting hay, turning hay, binders cutting cereals etc., would all produce straight lines and blocks of colour in the landscape.

My main issue was the wide spaced uniform tramlines that could only be produced by modern agricultural methods. I think the appearance of round and square bales would also be a killer.

Now, this was all based on the assumption that fields would be put together from a standard set of textures. If this isn't the case and modern aerial photography is being used to put together the landscape then the effort required would be way too much and I'll just live with it.

The trouble with modern aerial photography is the fields have been enlarged and "squared up" considerably since the war and a good percentage of the hedgerows and lanes have been destroyed to cater for modern machinery. This results in a very different looking landscape to that which pilots of the day would have seen.

Anyhow, I think the points are clear and I'll shut up now.
