If that's the case then it's a great shame. The colour and density of these trees is very good indeed.

Great update by the way Luthier. The landscape is looking nicely populated and very interesting...varied patches of woodland and irregular fields etc.
It's great to see trees way off in the distance now. Also notice how the trees border the fields - no random placement here.

In response to the earlier comment regarding field sizes...they're spot on for this period. It was only post war that hedges started to be ripped out on a grand scale to produce the machine friendly large fields we're accustomed to seeing today.

I think this level of ground detail will make ground attack very exciting and real. Just think of the feeling of speed you'll get as all those features zip by. Much easier to gauge height too.

The aircraft of course are absolutely superb in every way. I've got a good feeling about this product. I think we'll be in for a real treat.

Please don't let the whining get in the way of the regular updates. You know we're all addicted to them.

Agreed. These old trees look a lot better that the current ones at this distance. Perhaps they were too compute intensive or didn't degrade well to lower LODs for longer view distances.

I think it's not so much a matter of trees, but a matter of lighting...
The trees are the same, but lighting is different...

Remember that the summer of '40 was very hot and thus much lighter then usual...Lots of sun.

im surprised noone has brought up why cant we see the individual leaves moving in perfect unison with the atmospheric effects?

or perhaps there should be squirrels visible inside the trees, with perfectly reproduced anatomical systems that respond correctly to gunfire?

wait, why dont they model each and every hair on the squirrels!

yeah the sim is absolutely worthless without realistic squirrel hair!

WE WANT PERFECT SQUIRRELS! WAAAAGH SQUIRRELS !

And moles and molehills, you know, after the rain all the meadows are full of them.
Moles are very important to me, they add a lot to the total immersion feeling.

As can be seen in these aerial photographs, you normally can't see tree trunks from the air. It's rather the exception than the rule.
So for me, it looks certainly good enough. Did you actually realize how far back to the horizon we are able to see the trees in the sim?
