What exactly do you not like about the terrain that is done in another sim? If it is the terrain colour then we all know about that, so to does Oleg. See here;

However I agree that tunes of the colors should be done in future. It isn't simply there in the game just gamma or RGB. In realoity there is done very compex mix of real light laws. It is very hard to get them alos like the human eye will see it. From another point of view, how it is done with physics - it is right. Color changed depending time of day, altitude, thickness of air masses, etc
If it's not the terrain colour then you must be on about the graphic engine which in my eyes is the best terrain we have seen modelled in a sim to this day. Of course this is in full settings that not many people can use(including myself, damned 4870x2) but as the game is polished more and more people will be able to switch these things on. Look at the pictures in the first post and tell me the other sims model the ground better, I just will not agree

I agree with Oleg. I think its very difficult for a sim to have natural looking terrain colurs through the whole range of changing light levels.

In all sims with saturation and gamma adjustment available I tend to find when morning and evening looks good mid day looks washed out. Mid day looks OK then morning looks too saturated.

Different terrain colours for high and low light levels are the way forward.

Look at this. Not as rich in ground objects as CloD, but very nice nontheless. Great atmosphere.

@Reflected

I love RoF and am happy to play both that game and CoD, both for their own merits.

CoD imo sure has come a long way since first release and so has RoF

Peace.

Why the questionmark? Reflected posted a RoF (Rise of Flight) screenshot and I gave my opinion about it. I think both RoF (Rise of Flight) and CoD (Cliffs of Dover) look good at portraying a believable landscape and are great sims in their own right and both have/will come a long way even more in the future.

OK, you are reading things in my post that I didn't write. I did not attack the terrain when I pointed out the silliness of your post about apologising to the devs "when they sort this out". You were referring to the entire game, I pointed out this was a thread about terrain. Also why should anyone apologise and thank the devs for fixing what they delivered in a broken state (now I am referring to the entire game)?

I bought CoD and would like the many very serious bugs fixed. If they are fixed then great, but I won't be thanking the devs. If they don't get fixed I will leave CoD and move on, I will also avoid purchasing anything from MG in future. There are far more serious things in life to worry about rather than a £50 game.

I replied to this post and have highlighted what I belive is the nonsense that people are spewing from their mouths about this sim;

I also never said anyone was to thank the devs for fixing the sim, please show me where if I did. What I did say though was people who are talking nonsense should say they are sorry when it comes to the sim being fixed and there statements don't hold up any more.
Perhaps if you understood what I was saying in my first post in this thread then we would not be having this discussion as I am doing nothing you are accusing me of.
