The trees we have now are more varied as they come from Speetree, the old tree types that were made by Oleg and his team only show a couple of different types. The variety of tree types makes it more important to use Speedtree trees than the ones that Oleg could build, which would take away resources from other things. Also as a naturally grown phenomenon all trees are different and come in various shapes and sizes and to say that one type of tree is wrong and your type is correct is being a bit disingenuous.
I live in England also and I have no problems with the trees for this flight Sim, but if you want perfection of graphics then I suggest you buy yourself a spitfire and fly around in the real world pretending your there.

That could work

oh yeah....

Meusi, I agree with what you say. By no means do these trees not look like any in this country, but when I was in Egypt and flying over, the trees looked a lot like these do from above. Using this software which you mention gives hope to the fact that multiple tree types can appear which'd be great :D

Or maybe you like 109s..sorry had to.

What interview is it where the German sound guys mouth is hanging open when he hears what the game sounds like?

Swastika's????
 

I tought Swastika's where forbidden and her is one on a real 109 ???
I'm not asking for them in the game, or want to start that discussion again.
Yust wondering.

Only in certain countries is it banned (germany for example)

Yes, but it's really not going to work is it ? Sooner or later you will realize the futility of the pretence: with no AI, the wrong era, a low risk of being attacked. Really there is no substitute for a real sim.
Much better to pretend that the pretend trees are real, that the luminous fluffy clouds are genuine, and to accept that the sim may have a few reservations regarding the flight model and visuals. Otherwise you are stuck in reality: a reality where you command full control of your situation but where there is no escape; and escape is the name of the game...and after all it is mostly that - just a game.
:-)
Mostly.

man this game looks so amazing. I can not wait.. Orginal IL2 is still so great.. I just cant imagine the new Il2...

"re-packs the bowl"...

<IRONY>Why is this still using placeholder clouds, and while we are here, the trees are still unconvincing.

This is clearly a low res SOW video, I will retain comment until we can see a high res version with real sound (This appears to be from the origional IL2) </IRONY>

On a slightly more serious note, I noticed the exhaust line in this video, it has never ocured to me that we have been missing it all this time. In the screenie of the Hurricane underflying, there appeared to be fuel leaking, but was it actually exhaust? Hmm we shall have to see.

If it is not in, it will not affect me at all. I will be flying this as a game/sim with friends and it will blow our socks off when it arrives.
