The Grass and Vegetation colours are too light: Yes or No

I agree, the textures look fine, just the colors are too candy-land. But with all those golds and yellows, I can imagine I'm flying over California

Concur with many comments made above including Bongodriver, I have flown all over the UK over many years and the colours in the sim do not offend me. What I have seen change over the years is particularly in the south there is far less meadow and more planted crop.

I often had this argument in FSX, simmers seem to believe to be realistic you need to have fairly washed out colours. That just is not the case. England's fields on a clear sky day can be very vibrant and vivid (even more so than in CoD), when flying at 18,000 ft England is a patchwork of bright colour. Another belief is the sea should be very dark, in reality when the sun is out and winds are light it is largely sky blue.

I have been lucky enough to have spent most of my life flying and can only impart my observations.

Trees need to be darker, almost black.

If they just add a gamma slider I guess it all would be fine... As it is now it's not that hard so tweak the gamma a bit before launching though... As usual...

That "Rural Britain" photo was probably taken with a polarizing filter.

nah, that would mess up the sky, cockpits, etc.
They are all fine.

I repeat it since so long, "add a gamma setting in the game setup", so simple, but it is perhaps too much simple as a solution !!!

Agreed, trees in the UK look very dark from the air. CloD's trees look a bit too "tropical".

Oh, come on, the problem is not really the shade of green, but the "pastel effect" when in the air (on the ground, it's pretty ok, they should have done a tank sim).
