that lime green we see on most of the fields does not exist in real life. only in lime cordial.

spot on fruitbat, 8th of may, and yes it's Ramsgate, that is the Stearman based at Manston that I fly.

obviously I was not making any suggestion rapeseed was around, I just thought the general colour of that pic is not exactly a million miles away from the in game colours.

we each know someone thats knows each other i think, lol

one of the guys i fly with in the dangerdogz, lives next door to the guy that owns the flight school at manston and is friends with him, and he's walked around the hanger and eyed up that stearman!

we're going up to manston to have a walk around together soon:)

I live in the South West of England and do a bit of flying. From the air, the colours can be quite bright (more so than some simmers expect), but the acid green that CloD shows all over is actually quite rare. In fact, by late summer, there is quite a lot of brown as fields are harvested.

Yes I obviously know Mark and Sue at TG very well, from being a full time instructor with them and now I freelance, I only really fly the Stearman for them.

@Rocketdog.....that looks like Kemble in the last pic? have you seen a Learjet40 reg G-STUF? I used to fly that.

Well, its clear people would prefer a different shade of green for the landscape.

Hopefully, after the major issues relating to optimization have been solved, the developers will consider revisiting the colour palette they currently are using.

Just changing the tree colour to something less 'tropical' will go a long way to curing the palette.

Trees are the worst part, easily fixed by making them rich dark green, 2 second job in texture editor. *sigh*

Before everyone gets too excited about the "right" colors, bear in mind that the developers have probably used calibrated monitors, while 99.9% of players just use out-of-the box flat screens, which are too bright by default, have poor color gamut and a rather cold color temperature. Simply put, today's cheap, big TFTs are rubbish. I use an older, high-end, calibrated CRT and many different TFTs side by side and the difference is drastic.

Before any valid statement on colors can be made, monitors should be calibrated:

TFTs that acutally have a decent gamut are really really expensive ;)
