Landscape Colours need adjusting IMHO. I just saw pics from a BOB TV Program.

The problem is that when you fly COD at 12:00 midday you are flying on a perfect day.
You know those days where it's a brilliant blue sky and the sun is making everything so bright you have to squint, and everyone is in a great mood?

I've never lived in Kent etc., but I lived in London for a while. Most of the year the UK has clouds and it's either raining, has rained, or rain is on it's way in the near future. Then once in a while you get those brilliant blue sky days where the whole area looks transformed.

So what's missing is the dynamic weather, fly COD at different times of day and it looks amazing under different lighting. I agree the current landscape looks a bit off, but I think it's also because the air is far too clear, there's no haze, fog, smog etc, especially over London, London should be covered in sooty smoke.

Ewan is not flying on one of those bright middays in this video, ( I scanned through it but not that I can see). He's flying on a average UK day, and that's why it looks familiar.

Obviously as a landscape base, the devs have to model a perfect day, and then add weather and lighting effects on top. They also have to make sure that the landscape looks good at all altitudes from the ground up to 8000m.

In the current version when you fly a normal mission in COD, it is without the dynamic weather so you are pretty much flying on a perfect day with maybe a smattering of clouds here and there.
