replace "bright" with "UN-desaturated", you nit-picker you ;)

may I ask what monitor you run? if so... what monitor do you run?

swap the words? ... Freudian slip perhaps?

Who asked for "UN-desaturated" colors ?

Nobody.

No, unfortunately they asked for desaturation. They want to fly with greyish colours. You would know this if you had read the thread.

but... what monitor are you running, Stormcrow?

What does this help in this issue? We will again start a discussion about screen settings as we already had about fotos. Absolutely futile. That's your intention in asking about my screen. I as well may ask you about your screen in order to "proof" that you just have to buy a good screen.

Fact is that the colours I see ingame are close to what I see outside with the game as it is now. It is not perfect (heck, it's a video game) but desaturating it goes the wrong direction as everything will become desaturated - also the sunsets, the red firefighter car, the sky, the navigation lamps). Nevertheless I know that the colours are over all quite spot on (I grew up in the country side and I now live in a town with many parks and a lot of nature around. Thus I can compare on a daily basis. I also take flights regularly). Many posters agree on this if you read the thread closely.

why the resistance to relaying what monitor you run, Stormcrow?... I'm just curious


its easy, look I'll start if for you... I'm running a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ monitor


my specs are below and have been for a while.

true about installing a slider for saturation (but its more a hue issue though), would only affect all graphics in the sim... I've mentioned this before, plus some would use that to advantage to bring out planes flying over land to make them simple to spot from above

some poster might agree with you on the colour, Stormcrow... some posters and some reviewers, however, don't.

Perhaps some guys asked for desaturation (like in the very good Wellington vid), just as an easy solution to get out of the "Teletubbies country".

If I had to choose between the "Teletubbies country" and the "Save the private Ryan" area, I would too choose the second one.

BUT I would very much prefer to simply get correct colors for the British countryside under a natural virtual rendition lighting (neither Velvia nor Kodachrome, but Provia, for the slides buffs).

I think the colours are more or less spot on, except for the landing strips themselves. The grass strips are, IMHO, too saturated and stand out way too much. I'm not sure that strips were actually mowed out anyway - weren't landing fields pretty much just that? A field of uniform grass, with some wear and tear for the dominant landing/take-off directions?

I don't understand why everyone is focusing just on the terrain.

Pick something that we know for definite the colour of.. RAF Roundels anyone?

On my screen the RAF roundels from most screen shots are (on my monitor at least) too orange. The blue seems wrong too.
