Landscape again.

Since everything else on my PC (games, films, photos) look just right to me I don't think calibration is the issue.

I am a supporter of CLOD but there are some people that seem to defend CLODs faults which I find baffling.

Grass is not lime green...I have some in my garden

I havent seen lime green grass for a since it was removed a few patches ago, if anything one could says its a bit dark now.

Could you post a few screens?

[JG5_emil]

Will do when I get a chance.

Personally speaking, I'm still disappointed in the COD terrain. Colourwise I think it looks right at low altitude where the colours are vivid, but as you climb to several thousand feet the landscape becomes overly pastel-shaded. I think it is probably an attempt to simulate the haze layer, but for me it just doesn't look right.

I think they've got the grass colour right at ground and low level. If you check grass/vegetation colours in bright, sunlit, Summer conditions it does have that almost-phophorescent luminosity.

JG52_Uther, your pic may be under-exposed and the conditions look fairly cloudy, but there is still a very saturated tone to the colours. If you go to an equivalent altitude in COD it won't look like that.

My monitor is calibrated as well by the way.

(the other big issue with the landscape is tree/hedgerow related, but it's been done to death already, so I'll not go into it again.)

Yeh Hedges etc would be nice as they would add a little more dimension to the terrain and buildings look a little too 'stuck on' like in IL2.

I don't like the picture of the WOP game or what ever it is called, as someone else said the sepia tones are silly and a bit band of brothers.

For what it's worth I like the scenery once you've climbed up a bit and at high altitude and especially at any other time of the day other than mid day. The effects of the sun are fantastic, the haze is nice but makes spotting aircraft very difficult. There are loads of positives but if people don't 'moan' then the devs will assume everyone is happy.

The ground just needs a little more loving.

This was 7 months ago, this is now (Beta-Alpha plus today Hotfix).

Ok, now tell me you like it or that this landscape is how it should be. I've taken it at 12 o'clock, the most horrible time in CoD, at least on my PC. Textures on ORIGINAL. I've reinstalled it only to show you waht i see in this sim.
Because of this, i would like really have Luthier here to say us that this one is the next sim generation...... I've never seen a so horrible landscape.

[JG52Krupi]

What are your specs and in game settings I have only had that when the textures are loading up.

[150GCT_Veltro]

Intel Core Duo E8500, 3,16GH
6GB RAM
W7 64bit
ATI 5770HD 1GB

Game setting is doesn't matter, i've the same result with different settings. It was better in the first beta in october, at least for France that was very good in the afternoon.

[JG52Krupi]

I take it you have cleared your cache.

So I would say its the lack of GPU VRAM , the good news is that you could buy a 5770 as Xfire is working very very well.

The 5770 are less than £100 now.

Looks like he's on medium to low settings to me.

This was taken inflight online with only 1280 x 800 resolution: It looks quite a bit prettier on 2600x1650

But anyways, with the new hotfix, the landscape has really come much better. Look at them reflections as well.

[150GCT_Veltro]

Thank Krupi for your feedback, and yes...the cache is cleared.

I didn't have much problems in october, if not that i did totally dislike how was English landscape.

@Bliss, i would like see, please, some pics at 12 o'clock, we all know that this game it looks better in the afternoon - evening.
