hedgerows, nice layout - looks very like the Open GL???

So what's going on?

They've certainly attempted it. I'm not sure what's changed, but the layout looks a lot better.

Currently, it's not a case that they need more trees: rather they need less trees and more hedgerows.

Is it possible that what we want IS in there, but for whatever reason (probably performance or bugs) it was removed from the release version??

It's an intriguing possibility. I'd certainly feel very happy if I thought they could put it back to that as easily as they apparently changed it?
