Default Terrain texture appearance

My PC is too ancient to play COD, but I've been looking at COD pic's & videos a lot. Notwithstanding the time of day, the COD ground textures are not quite right to my eye. They look washed out & too yellowish for my liking. Quite unlife-like I think.

ClOD - English textures


IL21946 - Martin's English textures

The two photo have completly different time of day and lighting so I doubt you could make any comparison. Notice that there aren't any elongated shadows on the real life picture.

As a side note, my wife that was looking over my shoulder just now, thinks your havering. She thought the sim screen shot looked fairly life like.

Oh it also looks like a shadow on that small rise in the centre bottom of the photo? I don't know other sims where landscape features cause shadows? That's cool if it is!

Cheers!

The terrain lighting is good even if in the example here the river is defying gravity by flowing uphill

The CoD screenshot is much more accurate than the second screenshot, England from the air does not look washed out like that even on the most overcast of days. I am a pilot and exceedingly familiar with the English countryside flying over more days than I can count.

Remember,BOB was fought during the summer months,by all accounts it was quite a hot summer so I think COD is pretty accurate.You would'nt expext it to all look too green,the sun would've bleached the fields to a fair extent.

Yes, it DOES look like a hill!

But notice the river runs OVER that little hill?

We will see its true later.
