I'm equally convinced that the CoD devs don't care if you think that WoP looks better, or even if it includes hedges like WoP. I'm sure they would model the English farmland exactly if the average PC had the resources available. Since that is not the case, it still appears that they did a far better job than does WoP. It's more than just the tree spacing and hedges. See page 47.

You need to tell that to the people who continue to whine about CoD. I'm not cross or vindictive at all. I'm looking forward to when it is released in the US.

Well I'm genuinely glad that you are looking forward to playing I hope i get to see you in the air, time difference and all.
But I'm sure your probably right about the devs not caring. I do occasionly say about whining to people here, even though i'm guilty of it myself from time to time, i guess its whining out of frustration because i really like the sim rather than just to put people down or cause an argument.

Also, and dont take this the wrong way, I get that your still in the 'CoD Bubble' we were in over here before release, i hope they get it sorted to a standard that is truely playable so you dont have to loose that glow like i did when i finally got to play it but I'm sure they will get there in the end.
Hopefully with a 'selectable' puke filter right? :-P

It was shot through a circular polarizer. That's why it looks more saturated than the CoD screenshot.

That would have been wrong right.:???:

@Langnasen digital vibrance??

Digital Vibrance is a setting in the Nvidia-CP that controls saturation of colours. It defaults at 50% and it's pretty heavy. I find around 35% makes for far more natural looking colours and especially so for CoD.

I'm really not. I'm in the RoF bubble.

I'm well aware that CoD has problems. I'm still going to buy it. But I'm not going to complain if it does not work very well. Whining serves no useful purpose. I'll just keep playing RoF and go back to CoD when they get it working better, or I get a better PC.

I own WoP, but I removed it from my PC.

CoD hasn't been released in the US yet, and I'm not going to mess around with Steam to get it before it is released.

sorry my mistake. yes, default is 50%.

@bigpickle
to set gamma ingame low go to control panel - color management - advanced - calibrate display - next - next - next :) gamma slider drop down to 5-10% - next .... save.
