Yeah, the real world's color palette is definitely porked. We should have Oleg look into it.

BTW, Nice photos Alpha, thanks for sharing. (I'm terribly jealous)

Is the terrain mesh working correctly? Looks awfully flat?

Very few fields in England nowadays with a shade of purple then...

For me the WOP shot is closer in colours to the real pic.

Compare altitude.

Nice shots.
Apha, are these recent shots? They are great, but if they were taken recently they'd be a far-cry from how this scenary would have looked in the summertime.

You mention violet fields, well in paddock-wood in kent there is a field that is literally purple. I think it is lavender, but I can't be sure. Not sure if it would have been like that in 1940...

Well I'm fully expecting a barrage of abuse for this, but I presumed the lilacish grey fields to be dry ploughed earth.
I've always thought it looked a bit purplish in bright sunlight.
It may be more pronounced from altitude.
yours expectantly..........

Really? Yes...I can see the abuse coming. I'll fetch you an umbrella

The Lilac field that I am talking about really is lilac. It's so in your face that you'd fail to notice it if glancing at the scenary. However, fields like this aren't around in high numbers, and in the SoW shot there appears to be a few lilac fields....

I really can't judge though. I mean, the SoW shot shows textures that to me look like a saturated spring day. But that's just my opinion.
