[QUOTE=KG26_Alpha;227512]Also rail lines are highly reflective especially in moonlight, but i suspect that's too much to ask for :)

Nice pic, surprised you could see it with your head in the clouds :P

One clear example is the perception of depth (which you can't simulate on 2d screen) and it could be done as Rodolphe has shown, the other is perception how tracers realy look like. As far as dynamics of colors and or their hue/saturation, I'm afraid if the release date is realy 25th of March, then there is no time to change that. I'm no expert in programming, but I would presume this is major change in the rendering engine. But there are numerous posibilities on the graphic card settings though...

I know what they look like at night as I have flown over rail tracks many times, its more a wish list addition, if its already done then a bonus.

It's a well-attested fact that the Luftwaffe bombers used the main rail routes as a navigation aids, at night as well as in the day. The eight polished rails of the four-track routes reaching from the South coast up to London were a fantastic guide on a moon-lit night, as was the river Thames on its curving path through London.

I have raised this point several times over the last few years and I hope some consideration may have been given to these permanent and obvious navigational aids

Brando :)

Its along this well known fact that I was interested if 1C team had done any reflective work on the rail lines for CoD, it should a a given that the Rivers have it already modelled.
But if the rail banks have the wrong colour grass in Autumn it goes in the bin ;)
