Color and gamma settings should be customisable ingame, but in such a way that nobody can draw advantages from some extreme settings in online gameplay.

Can't you customise some of the settings in your gfx driver specifically for this game? I use custom gfx settings for IL2FB in my nvidia driver, however i don't remember whether gamma and color settings can be changed.

Green is supposed to be such a 'calming' colour........

This wouldn't be a good idea because the aircraft colours and sky are fine as they are, it's just the landscapes that are too bright and pale a green to match the real thing. If we adjust out monitors to darken the land, we will also affect the sky and aircraft.

I do a bit of gliding and I would described the South of England in summer as having greens that vary from bright green to dark green, with the trees generally appearing darker than the fields.

Again, here is the SW of England in late summer from about 2,500' and RoF's colours for comparison.

I was watching a well known UK tv show, just as I was thinking about this issue. I guess that this is Jersey Island, but thats not far off the mark...

It looks to me personally a bit like in a cartoon.

If one would black+whiten all textures slightly, it would look perfect.

Bu this is only my personal opinion.
