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.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah - that's what I get too. At low-level, fine vivid colours. Go a few thousand feet up and it becomes a pastel-shaded horror.

Krupi, are you saying that it doesn't look like that for you? So, it could be a vram issue? Any chance you could post some screenies from a few thousand feet up at mid-day or thereabouts?

I agree with you, 150GCT_Veltro that France always seemed to look better than England.

In the last image you can see that in the distance I still have a problem with low quality textures I think I need to upgrade my GPU to get around that but I don't plan on doing that any time soon.

I took this picture with a digital camera as you'll never see what my high noon pictures look like with out it. I assure you I never have lime green grass. I have a high end monitor, and even better, I've calibrated it to IL2COD

It shows up darker than it really is (in the pic). Kinda hard taking a picture of a light source in a dark room without a flash, but you should get an idea of what my landscape looks like.
