As I said before, maybe it's just my monitor but the notion that some of us don't know what the outdoors looks like is absurd.

100% correct, the terrain is far too light for England, also the layout of English villages is way off.

I have to agree here as well, I've been a couple of times in England, but the ground colours look too Mediterranean the way I look at it, closer to Southern France than England, I seem to remember England as slightly darker green and more green overall.

I don't know much of england's vegetation in spring, but what for God's sake is so special there and different to other european countries? For me the colors look totally right for any ordinary middle european springtime country, if france, germany or anywhere else.

Please let me know why england's green should look different to other european greens?

It's much drier in Spain/France and you'll see more lighter colours, not only because there is somewhat less vegatation, but also due to to dry ground, which makes the overall picture more lighter than England, it's not miles off, no no no, but I still hold my opinion that it looks to light overall, but I think ingame settings such as brightness will easily correct it!

Colours look fine to me for English fields in bright sunlight.

Jeez... I'm getting so tired of hearing the same crap every week, and having to dig through pages of useless information. The pessimism here is substantial, and quite frankly it annoys me. Constructive discussion is a thing of the past. It seems to me that few actually appreciate what Oleg has been doing for the past 5 years with this. The game is in its final stage before release, so stop going on and on with these same topics of clouds and landscape and other nonsense. Your beating a dead horse, we've all heard it a million times before. It may seem a big issue to some of you, but really it's not. It's a game, it's not reality. Besides, everything as of now is final. Nothing will be changed at your will, so get over yourselves. And besides, none of you (I don't care who you are) have seen the final product, so making assumptions about how bad it's going to be is pointless... I have nothing but faith in this sim! The whole developer team deserves our respect. It's no wonder why Luthier got a little irritable earlier, and why Oleg doesn't stick around to answer questions after posting updates anymore. I'm sure they are sick of dealing with people that are unpleasable.

I used to enjoy Friday updates, but now i could care less... the whining surely takes the excitement out of seeing them. Everyone should be happy!!! I mean c'mon, this is going to kill every other flight sim out there... and it's going to be on our systems in less than 2 months. Be patient and don't let the anticipation get to you!!

As for me.. well I'm just going to do other things for awhile. I'm just going to walk away. You guys drive me insane. Seriously. I'll see you in the skys in a couple months. Peace!
