cant use these tiles without re doing all the normal maps and alpha channels. the tiles have to work within the current shader system. not so easy as just putting them ingame im afraid.

Some Canon´s 1940_1941_Channel CAN pics at noon.

Although not so detailed at low level as CloD, has the overall feeling of the english countryside color and atmosphere.

Mad G,

Canon's map is much more like the real world that CloD's dismal effort. Compare it to the photographs taken over Wiltshire I posted earlier in this thread and you can see the similarity immediately. Canon has represented the terrain as it appears at about this time of year, before crops have been harvested and left brown stubble or earth fields.

I am at a loss to understand how CloD has ended up with less realistic terrain than IL-2 1946. They must have made a fundamentally bad design decision a couple of years ago and ended up stuck with what we have now. From what Ali says, it may be that the lighting they have used just can't do morning/evening as well as noon. It's one of those "what were they thinking?" moments.

Actually, I disagree. Canon's map looks more like spring; the field textures are extremely saturated and green/yellow, which may show grass after it's been in the sun, but the lack of burnished crop fields (or any crop fields) represents the landscape one might see more in the spring.
Whilst I agree that it may look more like England, we have to realise that the texture transition is completely different; repretitive tiles are just horrible.
In some respects, the job the 352nd team did was better, but I just had a look at their textures, and they're really dark.
