Colors are fine to me for the moment probably need more flight time for the outside haze .. but I think before tweaking too much with colors i think the Xfire and SLI patch or FPS performance need to be worked on ... Actually I think this performance problems need to be number one on the TODO list.. I feel no joy yet with the ugly FSAA and Xfire/SLI performance.. As soon as the game run smooth well the rest come after IMHO..

The Dark Green Sea is spot on now as that is how it looks when you are out on it or directly over it Especialy around the English channel and the British coast.
The visability throught the water is seldom crystal clear in warmer months due the abudance of marine organisms .
Winter can bring the clearest seas but only provided the weather has been light on wind and air temps are low.
I have worked in fishing boats on the south coast and had air flights over the same areas in most seasons.
What is noticable is the height above ,or angle you are looking from dictates what shades you see.
Stood on a beach or in a boat the sea looks green directly in front of you but as you look further away into the distance depending on light intensity it reflects the sky above ether blue,blue green,blue black or silvery grey.The ecceptions are in rough weather or when the angle to the sun is shallow where you will experience glare and brightness on the water.
Saying that I flew back from Spain in the winter months with clear skys and over the Channel the sea looked flat and black green or black blue.I could clearly see the larger white topped ferries crossing way below.I think the Screenshots are pretty accurate that people have posted ;)
The land colors brightness and shading are still unrealistic to me.:(

I sailed the English canal many times. The waters might have a green touch one a clear summer day, but generally its brown-grey in the usually diffuse light. So far I found the colors and the general picture of the sea rather amusing, but well, it`s a flight sim or not?

Ouch :(

Give a look to this texture, probably is exactly what a lot of us was waiting for in CoD (England - SAS modding).

That just looks green tinted too me, in no way natural.

Actually it does look good. However I would not want 100% green everything. Patchwork is ok. Just perhaps increase number of pastures (and put sheeps on them).

Sure, but look at the textures quality. Colors can be changed in yellow. I'm talking about tiles.

Yesterday evening i was online in the new maps with english textures. Sorry to be quite rude but really i'm not able to understand and accept a so horrible landscape, first of all when the french landscape now is quite good (also from altitude). Sincerly is incredible Luthier doesn't realize how terrible is the british landscape even if is not his hown responsability. Is not only a matter of colros but also and first of all of tiles. It's fine from ground zero, but horrible from altitude.

Fly these 109 with new DB601 sound is a dream, but really this landscape is terrible.

May be is only a my opinion.

I think my head just exploded.

So really you don't care about the details, you care about your vision of how things should look, real or not.

Perhaps a PS3 or Xbox would be more satisfying for your play style.

:rolleyes:
