Mad G,
Canon's map is much more like the real world that CloD's dismal effort. Compare it to the photographs taken over Wiltshire I posted earlier in this thread and you can see the similarity immediately. Canon has represented the terrain as it appears at about this time of year, before crops have been harvested and left brown stubble or earth fields.
I am at a loss to understand how CloD has ended up with less realistic terrain than IL-2 1946. They must have made a fundamentally bad design decision a couple of years ago and ended up stuck with what we have now. From what Ali says, it may be that the lighting they have used just can't do morning/evening as well as noon. It's one of those "what were they thinking?" moments.
