Poll for less-saturated colours

[philip.ed]

Oleg didn't make this video. A forum member called Biltongbru did. He has made some excellent videos with Il-2 (and now with CoD) and his attention to detail is amazing...he has even tried to source the best reproduction flight-gear available for the actors in his films (with a little bit of help )

So the effects seen here were probably added after the video was captured...nothing to worry about, gents!

Of course, if the greens were less "teletubbiesques", this would help.

If I look outside on a bright sunny day my grass doesn't look like green plastic

Gamma slider in game would fix this all. I don't want to mess with it in video drivers.

Right. It's not the colors that are at fault, it's the fact that 40's Britain was shrouded in coal-burned pollution ALL THE TIME. Remember, every house had a fireplace, most had more than one. Each of those fireplaces burned coal. Add to that all the factories burning coal and there's a good reason it was grey. You know London was known as "The Smoke" right? And Edinburgh "Auld Reekie"? Almost 5000 people died in a one week period in London in the 50's just due to an episode of excessive smog.

Britain in the 40's was grey and dreary and dark. That's not Hollywood, that's reality.

Here's a great statistic: "There has been an astonishing hundredfold reduction in atmospheric particulate levels in London over the last fifty years and the air, in most respects, is cleaner in the capital city than at any other time since the middle ages."

Personally I'd like Oleg to choose how the colours should look. He has a better knowledge of photography and how things should look from the air than most people here, and I'd prefer us all to have the same settings. If there are gamma sliders etc, people will set them to show the enemy as clearly as possible, with no regard for historical accuracy.

And how many of you have calibrated your monitor?

A sect, it's a sect, the temple of the green God who sees colors from the sky better than Chuck Norris !!!

You can adjust you colors in your nvidia control panel.

Have to say this vid does look nice.

From the Gamespot review :


"... But it all seems so meaningless when you fly above a relatively bland-looking London or a garish green-yellow countryside ..."
