+1000 Furbs.

Don't get me wrong, COD landscape has its good points, particulary the topography/elevation and grass/field rendering at low alt.

However, pause the vid at 1.34-5, I'm telling you now, hand on heart it is pretty much bang on perfect....... it would be great if we could have something like this back. It truly is far more accurate.

I'm sure its not 'mission impossible' to do.....even short term you can make small tweaks (like darker trees) and change the landscape pallete, it would make a world of difference. If the tree placement (which is much more accurate and convincing in the vid) is too much work at present then maybe it could be done in small increments and that would be better than nothing.

Either way, once the SDK is released I'm sure the modders will sort it out anyway. It's a very valid gripe I'm afraid, and certainly not pointless whinging. It is important that when you are flying over something that purports to be England, that it....errr.....actually looks something like England. As per the vid. Just saying......don't hate me for my beliefs, chaps (which just so happen to be completely correct lol ).

+1
the new engine has its own advantages, but nobody can convince me about the tree placing,lack of hedgegrows and colours.advanced lightening system..???have you looked at the tree's colours?i flew over pink fields,which turn into dark green when you go down low.
of course the appearance of grass when you fly down low is amazing,and also that they modeled every leaf(although thats insane,they better should have positioned each tree).but as soon as you are 100meters above them,.... honestly they look funny,thats the best i can say about them.the position of them is a pain in the a..,not even to mention that you can fly through them like casper the little ghost.
improved engine?why does the game look worse in many aspects than it did with the old engine?s

fix for tree colours Close & Far. enjoy.

Nice one Ali, thanks a bunch it looks grand and is far more accurate. I have seen other attempts (and I think it is indeed possible to change aspects of the landscape too, but limited?) I think using the 'Kegetys' thingymajig? (Not a techie).

Only downside is its only for offline, don't fancy getting perma-banned from Steam lol, but excellent for offline in the meantime. Online is rubbish atm anyway, I can't even get sound. Nice one! Finally things are slightly (nah, a lot) more bearable. I'll start flying it again now.

This happens every time new technology is introduced. When first cars appeared on the market they had more flaws than advantages compared to horses: noisy, uncomfortable and broke every 10 km. Only enthusiasts purchased them. First digital cameras produced much worse photos than film ones. Stereoscopic 3D video more often gives you headache instead of enjoyment atm, etc. etc. I do not get why people pretend it is something unusual.

If you are not an enthusiast wait several years till technology is mature enough for you before purchasing the product. I never purchase the 1st product in a new series unless it is my hobby and I am ready to take risks to test new technology on myself being a "test rabbit". But this is completely conscious decision. Some people just tend to blame others for their own decisions I guess.

i dont blame nobody.and i like this sim!i really do enjoy it, because as i already said, it has some features that are way more advanced than in the old il2.like CEM.
but the colours and placement of trees really disturb the immersion.and i think its not a real problem to solve those issues.ali just released his darkertrees mod.try it!the game now looks much better with it.unfortunately the placement is the original and looks like the map has acne.
