CoD vs some other sims that model Kent?

[Hatch]

WoP is atm the best looking imo if you fly at medium to large heights.
Lower down the tricks used to get it to look good are obvious.
You also notice the lack of real detail.

What does continue to amaze me is that most detractors do not seem to have the ability to look past the green haze in the WoP BoB scenarios and just condemn it for that.

I'm not condemning it just because it looks like green puke. It also plays like crap on a tiny map.

I'm limiting my criticism to the sole landscape general look, with no greenpuke-filter, and how landscape elements are put/mixed together, how they appear from cockpit views (specially in low level pass); how they maintain their dignity if viewed in far background. CloD is for sure a pure simulation, with strongpoints I'll never disclaim. I didn't buy WoP (just tested demo) because it's not representative as simulation 4me; but I admit that, after several years of playing Il2, when I look for some more immersive low level flight My thoughts go WoP.
Yes you are right, works for me; I'm seriously concerned cause it works just for me! ... Doctor...is so bad?

WoP can do all that because it's an arcade game on a tiny map with green puke covering up all the stuff that doesn't look quite so good.

Actually it doesn't, which is the very point of this discussion.

I've see south-western England from the air quite a few times, and the colours in CoD are nowhere near the real thing.

CoD looks very nice at early morning or late evening (especially the dawn fog effects, combined with the lighting are simply breathtaking) , but the palette in "normal" daylight is simply way off.

I've seen the photographs and I've seen the screenshots. It's not as far off as you seem to think it is.

LoL, so people who fly over southern UK all the time are saying CoD doesn't look right and you are telling them that real life is wrong and CoD is right?

True fanboy in the worst sense, doesn't even have the game yet tells those of us who do (and live in the UK), that what we see out the window is wrong and COD is right.

Hahahaha, thank for the laugh fanboy.

No, I'm also saying that there are people who fly over Kent regularly who say the colors look fine.

So, you need something more compelling than "I don't like the colors" or "WoPuke looks better than this" to make your case.

I agree. It's the daylight look that's off a bit, too light and washed out.

As I have attempted to explain, I regularly fly over the South of England and, IMHO, it doesn't look much like CloD. The field colours are different, the fields usually (but not always) have dark hedges at their boundaries and the trees are darker and often occur in RoF-style small patches of woodland. If you removed the filters from WoP it would be much more like what I see in real life than does CloD. I have even posted photographs of the SW of England to show what I mean. Now, you are welcome to continue to insist that I am wrong, but if you do, it's hard to imagine that anything at all would convince you otherwise.
