its all still out of whack though... to be honest (for all those trying generic fixes) results won't improve without physically re-painting the texture tiles (the colour of the bare fields, the open fields, the grassy fields, the vege patches, etc, etc) and then also the "colour" of the forest needs to be mottled up.

do i need to edit the launcher.exe startup in steam to get it to run?

[BigPickle]

thanks for the effort Baron, will test this out :)

hence why ive not released anything untill it all works together.. but darker trees is a good start and definetly worth using imo as all the trees are incorrect. but only compared to the default scenery.

Thanks Baron,looking good!;)

[ChicoMick]

Thanks Baron, good effort, looks better, quite good in fact :)

Now if you could do something about the 'Silver Birch' epidemic, some brown tree trunks might help, that would be cool too :rolleyes:

BTW I think it's amazing what you guys are doimg with skins, sounds and graphics. All VERY much appreciated , thank you all :grin:

[baronWastelan]

I did also darken the silver tree trunks, thankfully they are no longer shining like radioactive under the darker leaves.

Thanks for all the positive comments, esp from this tough audience!! It's quite difficult to make "global" changes in scenery that don't make CloD look worse over-all. If I can do one incremental change like this with acceptable results, I'll take that as a 'win' and rest on my laurels, and beta test other guys' landscape mods from now on :D

yes, I think we're saying similar things there, Ali

There are some problems with the LOD of the forest (I think) on nvidia 560 ti with 270.61 drivers.

PS: some of the problems seems to be caused by the drivers (as they appear in the same place without the Darker Forest mod), but some are mod related (ie, the inconsistency between the LODs and tree types (not all trees seems to have been made darker, therefore combinations of lighter/darker trees can be seen from close up)).

[GuillermoZS]

Thank you so much man. Excellent mod!

[Doc_uk]

So whats the command line i have to add to my shortcut? read-me would be nice

[baronWastelan]

I use:
-mod=mods\forestsDarker

as shown in the screenshot, along with other mods

where a "mods" folder was added by me into folder "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover"

[Madfish]

Looking awesome :)

Forest Green used in a fantastic new movie. Hopefully this means the end of the citris groves. I had never even thought to try this mod with lower trees setting. Looks OK... ;)

best vid i have seen so far

[adonys]

aaaa...

we NEED that pilot model detail into IL2 CoD

and as we're here, a proper pilot animation system (which is not at all hard to be done, as the pilot is animated anyway).

[philip.ed]

Brilliant video! Just a shame that there is an American pilot flying that 109...

[skouras]

one of the best videos if not the best
thanks for sharing mate:grin:

[justme262]

[ParaB]

Thanks! I'm really enjoying these darker trees, very well done.
