From the Cockpit over Kent Thames Estuary

nice pics Alpha...quite dark colours

Yeah, the real world's color palette is definitely porked. We should have Oleg look into it.

BTW, Nice photos Alpha, thanks for sharing. (I'm terribly jealous)

Is the terrain mesh working correctly? Looks awfully flat?

You better look for time of day these shots are done.
Then then look for the color of wing, espcially in shadow, if you think it is right.

Then try to learn what is distortion of colors and what is distortion of contrast in each channel of RGB with its result.

Also, interesting how is possible in principle to compare 12:00 on the screen shot with the everning shots on photos (again also with distorted colors) and even when said that there are not final colors and the shot just show the shrapness of the ground from altitude.

But Oleg, surely the distortion is not that bad? I mean, from the SoW shots you have posted, to me the colours look a lot different from the colours I would see in summer. In this sense, even distorted summer-shots look more realistic to me than the ones shown for SoW. I
I know you said the colours will be tuned, but I'm wondering whether the whole palette will be changed?

Very few fields in England nowadays with a shade of purple then...

For me the WOP shot is closer in colours to the real pic.

Compare altitude.

Nice shots.
Apha, are these recent shots? They are great, but if they were taken recently they'd be a far-cry from how this scenary would have looked in the summertime.

You mention violet fields, well in paddock-wood in kent there is a field that is literally purple. I think it is lavender, but I can't be sure. Not sure if it would have been like that in 1940...
