Just imagine CloD with WoP map

[David198502]

i totally agree.the cockpits are just awesome in clod!also the planes look very impressive in my opinion.the damage model is unprecedented detailed.and also the flight model is something i do not want to miss anymore with its CEM.and exactly these features prevent me of going back to il2 1946.
some minutes ago i tried it again.and well,i have to say...in some aspects, its looking better than clod.i flew over slovakia map and the trees have a better colour and also the buildings seem not less detailed than in clod.there are even clothes lines with clothes on it between buildings.

I don't think that was in question it was more about the terrain model.

One of the things I have always found lacking in the IL2 maps (I don't have CoD yet, waiting for new computer) is a natural placement of buildings. The auto-populated IL2 towns have the houses all lined up neatly. In real life, buildings follow inclines and roads, not the adjacent building. Houses are built together, forming continous structures. Here's a real life shot of 1940's small industry from West Bromwitch, and an attempt at replicating the look in FMB, using as few different objects as possible (large number of texture maps swamps the CPU):





This kind of thing takes an insane amount of time. This is where I think the community can really be of help to the developers.
