Those are 2 and 3 story buildings. I'm sitting on the third floor right now, and I'm looking UP at a bunch of trees.

And I think there's just enough trees for the kind of town it is. It's supposed to be a light green suburban-type area. There are fewer trees in heavier downtown areas, and fewer still in industrial ones. Seems perfectly fine to me.

Thanks Luthier. Nice update, and I'm really liking the terrain through the He111 pit. Good job to the crew.

I utterly detest trees done via this method, they look absolutely awful.

They are using special software that can animate trees and grass, no photoshop textures!

The game is really nicely comming together.
