Beautiful work Oleg and Team- looks to me like you've got the lighting spot on. And the trees- amazing! Can't wait to see it all come together! My computer is begging for mercy already- it knows I'll have to crank up the eyecandy.

Trees list.





Oak

Weeping willow - by water
Lime

Any oriental or foreign trees will work well in parks and gardens.



Others help please...I am not an expert.

We need at least 5 or 6 types of tree as the absolute minimum.

Nice work Oleg. The trees look very similar to the common Ash, even the leaves in the closeup pic are very similar to the Ash. The tree works for me as long as its dispersed with other varieties of English trees. Stone walls and Hedgerows will also go along way in getting the feel of the English countryside.

ATI will run IL2 1946 just fine in perfect mode my HD 3870 has no problem. You just can't use water 3,4 only 2, looks just as good as NV 3,4.

I think in the old days of WW2 there would have been very few lines on country roads, possibly almost none. Maybe on a second look they are wear and tear markings, that would be very good.

Tools/Viewer, right there slapped across the image...

I like the leaves up close. I think the movie makers are going to go bananas with this sim. If it sells well I hope we get to see many movies on all fronts.

Oleg said recently they've licensed 'Speedtree' and will be using versions of those trees, modified to suit SOW.

Here are the default trees Speedtree offers -

Should be alright.

For those thinking that the colour palette is off, here's a comparison I just threw together, looks pretty close to the British summer to me:
