outstanding pictures of the cliffs.I think they did a great job rendering them in the game.
the pictures with the hurricanes looks fake for some reason.I dont doubt they are real but it looks like they are taken straight out of Dover

Nice to see Hawkinge BoB Museums still falling apart.......

Donations are getting harder to come by each year as these little place fall into oblivion.

The Hurricane's are replicas, sunbleached, and parked in Hawkinge Battle of Britain museum (a great museum too).

You have to remember that the camera shots are enhanced to give a enriched foliage look to the ground and sky for that matter.

I took this shot up the Pyrenees (French Side) and gave it some adjustments in PS4 to make it look "richer"
although its a great looking view in real life the enhancement is false as in most of the above shots.

What we see with the MkI eyeball and our brain interprets is different from a cameras image
so we enhance it to make it look better to compensate for the original impression we felt or think it should look like.









Anyway were not flying a scenery simulator, but the feel of CoD at certain times of day is pretty good compared to anything else I've seen.

Just a note :

-Most of that photos are not in summer time, while in BoB was, so the grass should be less green and the trees too due the summers´s time sun effects.

I think that the main difference between those photos and CLOD is that the treetops are too thin in the game while in the photos they have more volume.

It was during the summer and autumn of 1940 (July–September 1940).

You will arrive at other conclusions when comparing colour relationships within the photos and the corresponding colour relationships within CoD.

Treetops in the sim are too thin; this is something important I shoud have added.
