Terrain texture appearance

[Heinz Laube]

i bet, if maddox used photorealistic ground textures for ClOD, users would find other things to whining..., and say its not good enough, i think there are some more important things to fix at first... i think the ground texture will be look much better, if dynamic weather is in game active...

I think the problem with CoD, if that is a problem at all, is that every day right now is a bright summer day with perfect lighting. Under such conditions I think CoD textures are quite believable, too many folks here are probably used to desaturated WW2 movies in their imagination of the European theater. (then again, I noticed a lot of Russian games give the impression of a "model train landscape", if that makes sense.)

However, I am looking forward to a more dynamic weather system with less intensive lights to get a more dynamic experience in regards to landscape lighting and impression. Hopefully that is possible.

I don't know myself but didn't pilots of that era stay away from flying in bad weather?
If so, then if you had your rain in a mission noone would be flying.
