You obviously missed my "fayboy post-scriptum".

I know my English is far from being perfect, but I think it's nevertheless easy to understand that I'm not asking for a perfect photorealistic rendering (which, I know, is still not possible with the current personal computers), but just for a correct color palette for the described area (here, England), what has nothing to do with the technical capacities of our pc's.

Well, I think that Oleg does in fact "ask" his team for photorealistic final product...That was his goal from the very beginning of SOW and that is probably why the whole project took so long to complete...And I also think that what we see at every friday's update is in fact work from months ago and Oleg keeps the big "revelation" for an ultimate official release trailer...

Salute !

wonderfull update... again

There is advertising in the streets! That is a very nice detail. As a graphic design student, I kind of love those old ads. Can't wait to take a closer look at them.

I suspect that during the lifetime of sow, these streets will really come to life. Soon we will have some missions like this:
objective 1: drive with your racing green sports car to the airbase exit.
objective 2: pick up your girlfriend at her home.
objective 3: find a way through London's traffic jams
objective 4: find a parking place near the cinema
objective 5: get her back home "safely"

Oh Oleg, I have one question:
Will there be churches in the towns? I don't remember seeing one in the updates. In Belgium (and I suppose in France and Britain to) there's a church in almost every village. sometimes even if the village only counts 10 houses. For regular Flemish towns, churches were the only tall buildings around. They really give image to a town.
