There is actually a way to increase the saturation setting in ROF which can improve things for those finding it too washed out.

You need to edit the startup.cfg file located in Rise of Flight / Data.

Change the saturation setting from the default of 0.75000 to whatever floats your boat (mine is currently at 0.81500).



Also, I'm no expert on this but the ROF manual says:

Shader Quality. This setting affects the appearance of certain graphical effects such as the appearance of the water, lighting and ground. You can choose from Low, Medium, High and Maximum. When you choose maximum the ground will have a special texture applied to it to look bumpy and this is called Parallax Mapping. Parallax mapping is triggered when you fly close to the ground

So is Parallax Mapping the same as Bump Mapping?

This is parallax mapping..



Like I said ROF is nicer when close to the ground, above it I prefer cod.

At the end of the day both games look amazing, but RoF has more polish due to being out for longer.

Oh my God, the trees in CLOD really look bad... Way too bright(should be dark green) and they shimmer and you can fly through them...
In general, trees are the darkest part of a landscape, not the other way around...
Examples

Jep, Trees are way to bright now. When being close, they are okay but on distance they are way way to bright.

Strange enough I sometimes have different tree-colors in mulitplayer than in singleplayer...???

(darker in MP)
