So why does it look so bad now, in that shot it looks like England, the colours are right, the hedgerows are right, it just needs some trees etc.

Come now TREE,
its the same landscape you've been slating the whole time... 'cept in this top down view there are no weather effects between your eye and the landscape.
And it is now most likely far better than this old screenshot from 2 years ago.

But like we agreed in the HL we'll sure be gunning for each other over the channel, you in your Hurricane and me in my E3.

Maybe Oleg is realizing that many of his high res stuff is far more than todays pcs can handle.

TOO MANY TREES!!.... right?

It was deforested to make way for farmland and build our mighty navy, however the south east is actually one of the most forested parts of the country. Take a trip up and around Surrey/Sussex/Kent in a light aircraft and it will honestly surprise you just how forested the area is.

Now what happened to that terrain, thats more like the terrain i thought we would be seeing.

The one with the repeating textures that brought howls of complaint!? [sound of Oleg banging his head against his desk]

Okay, I stand corrected, 8 months. Still 8 months of landscape development can produce even better results...

@TREE_UK
Olegs got a photographers eye... And the experience of living in Euro-Russian weather conditions, AND he has been in the sky... So he knows what it should look like... And no matter how hard everyone may feel you are being on Oleg, I can tell you absolutely that he is 10 times as hard on himself and his team to get it just right.

Hasn't this guy demonstated time and time again, to the world (and us) that he is a perfectionist that sticks to his principles of Quality first, profit second... Tree, from the heart... you have not got the qualifications, or the eye, or as it turn out, the memory to make definitive judgements on how the sim should look.

guys, i will ask this once more, if you want to insult me in any way please feel free to 'pm' me rather than do it in the forums, I am more than happy to recieve your insults and trade if you want to go down that route. However much you want to get personal with me wont unfortunately change my view or make me like something that you do, I am open to a discussion though which these forums are designed for.

Ok Tree...sense you really seem to need an answer from someone (lol)...

I could be wrong, but...I believe that the screen shot you have selected to display was an example of a "terrain tile" that was built for the "old" "SoW" engine...as some of you might remember, "SOW" was originally built on the old "IL 1946" game engine, and then Oleg and team realized that if they really wanted a 21st century game (for the future) they need to go back to the beginning and built a game engine "from scratch"...

Even though the "old" engine was limited in possibility's (for expansion)...Olegs team had a lot of experience with the old engine and the graphics (and colors) had been highly tuned, over the years.

The new game is not finished, and all the screen shots are a "WiP"...
