CoD vs some other sims that model Kent?

the first one although ugly, is pretty good colour wise for this time of year (april/may), but rubbish for summer, ie BoB, plus wrong crops for BoB.

Clodo, if the trees were the right mix of colours (there far to light green), is actually passable, but the tress are all wrong really, and there loads of trees here in SE Kent.... I'm not really sure what the fields are supposed to represent either, but hey ho. Its a kinda generic 'fit'

with some work on the trees, it would be by far the best imo....

heres some pics i took last summer (aug) when i was working, gives you some idea of the trees.

I agree, the GEX stuff is very poor, and cost far more than it's worth.

The VFR scenery looks terrible in Kent, but looks much better in Wales , although there're no dynamic shadows, and no buildings, grass or trees on the ground. That 'add-on' cost the same as the CoD Collector's Edtition.

The IL2 map still has those 'layered' forests and 3D trees, but of course was free.

As for colour, here's a shot I just took out of the window with my phone (note dead palm tree from the frosts of December).

The colour mix there matches quite well with CoD methinks.
