Landscape looks good, maybe cockpit needs to be half and half

whetever we say or not
it seems that the dev's already decided what to do
again for some people who lives in England the curently colours of the landscape
is crap..
for others is good
for others is-LCD trip--
same with cockpits
personally i don't like the contrast of the pits
cause loosing a lot of details
i don't care about RL
I care about detail

the only thing wanna see as close as it gets is the physics and FM
Of the aircrafts
IMHO

To be honest I'm deeply confused about this whole color discussion. Don't get me wrong...I believe that there is room for improvement. I just fail to see the importance of it considering the state of the sim. For me personally there are many matters which are way more important (stutters, performance, AI, dynamic campaign, dynamic weather). But there are a million threads about colors and almost none about the other issues. I'm confused.

I think that is because all we have as a must that all that other things that are broken need to be fixed. For example it´s silly begin a discussion about if coms need to be working or not. Everybody knows coms have to work yes, or yes. About colors the problem is that if we do not argue, them colors may not change and stay as bad as they are now. It´s even worse because we now that it´s possible to have right colors, as we already had, cockpits in original and landscape in last beta.

You always are going to be discussing about so so things, not about what everybody agree.

When I first tried the new patch I must admit I was a bit iffy about the colours but I spent a good evening playing with both nVidia control panel adjustments, the hardware adjustments on my monitor and even some third party calibration software and I have to say I am now pretty impressed.

I take MadTommy's point about PC use although you can set up various profiles or note settings to return things for other use. I set mine up purely for Clod and I think it looks terrific. The landscape perhaps errs a little towards emerald greens but there is a fantastic range of colours, browns, yellows and greens which give a very natural and convincing look compared to the original bland lime green offerings. The much darker trees help a lot.

A clever thing which is noticable with the colouring is that the colour range used for the landscape is very different from that used for the aircraft. For instance the English landscape is a slightly cooler emerald whereas the aircraft are a much richer and warmer pallet plus they have rather more contrast with stronger shadowing. This means the aircraft stand out from the ground in a really quite striking way and goes a long way towards compensating a monitor view compared with real life.

The water is now quite stunning and I'm sorry Tvrdi but I think the green is pretty spot on. The English Channel, especially around the Dover Straights carries a lot of sediment and a vaste amount of algae, particularly in summer. The sea there is never blue always brown or green. If you want blue go to the Med or the Pacific, forget the English Channel. Stand on Brighton Seafront on a bright blustery Summers day and you will see what I mean.

As an Englishman who loves his countryside and coastline I have to say that for Johnnie Foreigners and Russians to boot the developers are making a pretty good fist of it given the limitations of video games.

Sadly, for various reasons, I don't get much chance to set up a joystick and controls and fly CloD properly at the moment but I quite happily fire up the game, fly on auto pilot and take screenies.

Careful mate, you'll incur the wrath of Alpha and Dano.

Give a look to this texture, probably is exactly what a lot of us was waiting for in CoD (England - SAS modding).
