I did get a smile from Luthier's description of their landscape guy as a "genius", however. Incidentally, I spent an hour today flying over SW England and think they could still make some useful progress just by changing tree colours etc. But the sad truth is that this is one area where CloD lags some way behind other sims.
Interesting observation. My take on the landscape at this time is that it is more like the Russian Steppes than the UK. Too many grain fields and dry looking. Also, the airfields look clumpy with big grass tufts on the ground. Those fields were pretty well mowed and more like a football pitch than an unkempt farmfield in a dry climate.
Cheers
