I've never understood this communities hang up with grass color. I don't live in the U.K., but the colors look fine for me for a mid spring to mid summer coloring. Graphics on a PC have not yet reached the point of photo realism, but this looks damn fine to me compared to the flying I've done in real life. The shade differences in fields, the colors all seem close enough to me. Lime green? I don't see anything close to lime green in any of these photos. You should step outside and look around during spring and summer rather than just looking at photos of outside. The clouds have always been impressive to me. They don't look like the photos of real clouds in other games, but they are volumetric and close enough to the real thing that I have always been suitably impressed. I honestly believe some of you need to step outside once in a while and experience the great outdoors. This community is so insular I have a hard time reading anything other than Oleg and Ilya's posts.

Oleg and the 1c Maddox team thank you for all the hard work you have done to make this, what is most likely the most realistic flight sim (combat or otherwise,) of all time. We all appreciate your hard works, and look forward to the masterpiece you have painstakingly, and sacrificed so much for.

Wow flaming. When are we back to talking about the brunette? I like brunettes.

Just look at Tanner's previous posts. It appears Tanner is holding a grudge for some reason and for someone that joined this forum in 2008, you'd hope he'd have 1/2 a clue how Oleg does his updates. Guess not.

Anyhow, last time I checked IL2 was the most successful WWII sim ever created, if not the most successful combat sim ever made, and is still going strong 10 years in the running. Seems like Oleg's pretty clueless to me lol. I'd say that Oleg knows more about development than Tanner ever will. I guess some people just don't get it.

Anyhow, thanks for the update Oleg. We all can't wait to get our hands on this new title.

There is no getting away from having a certain percentage of wacko's, in any community.

Thanks for the update!

Nothing in that Hurricane shot is the right colour. Not the roundels, or the paint scheme or the grass or the gun covers. Why's nobody complaining about the Aircraft? I've never seen a hurricane that washed out.

But,
I've said it before, it's an overall Saturation/Contrast thing not just the terrain.
It's a purley artistic call too. All the screen shots tell me is that it's not finished yet.

Not sure what to say. You do know what lime green looks like right? I'll concede that to say it's lime green is a bit of an exaggeration but it isn't far removed from it. The entire terrain palatte that I'm seeing is simply too light to my eye and almost has a yellow exposure to it. As I said before, maybe it's just my monitor but the notion that some of us don't know what the outdoors looks like is absurd.

now I must buy the f-in civilisation 3!
