... but really better, yes.



(1) perhaps the typical English green will be seen under a grey sky ?

Clouds make a tremendous difference in color perception. The developers are showing us the most difficult sections of the day to model color-wise... bright sunlight.

When it's overcast and/or the sun is setting, the textures, etc will all look more and more "real" as the color fades - and... much easier for the computer to make it look "real". Take note that thebest screenshots in any sim are typically dawn or dusk.

Development shots look great. What a great platform to build on...
