I thought that too when i 1st played it but turning the ingame brightness to 50% made it look really good and its only the bob map that initially looked over green unbrightened,all the other maps were fine. i like the COD colours but would prefer slightly darker shades given the choice

I think it needs to be a bit desaturated but it still looks pretty good as it is, they should definatly work on getting the game working first before changing the "small" things

Rapeseed is a modern crop not around to that extent in the old dart in 1940

not around at all in the '40s.

for the record, wheat never looks as light green as it does in the autum/winter, already (April) it has turned to a much darker green, and will stay like that until it turns goldern in late june/july.

i work on farms in south east kent by the way, amongst other stuff.

In bongodrivers second pic, which must of been taken towards the end of april early may, looking at the rape.

you can quite clearly see wheat fields (the dark green ones).

by the way, is that ramsgate i can see in the background, looks like your on approach for manston

[Ctrl E]

that lime green we see on most of the fields does not exist in real life. only in lime cordial.

spot on fruitbat, 8th of may, and yes it's Ramsgate, that is the Stearman based at Manston that I fly.

obviously I was not making any suggestion rapeseed was around, I just thought the general colour of that pic is not exactly a million miles away from the in game colours.

we each know someone thats knows each other i think, lol

one of the guys i fly with in the dangerdogz, lives next door to the guy that owns the flight school at manston and is friends with him, and he's walked around the hanger and eyed up that stearman!

we're going up to manston to have a walk around together soon

I live in the South West of England and do a bit of flying. From the air, the colours can be quite bright (more so than some simmers expect), but the acid green that CloD shows all over is actually quite rare. In fact, by late summer, there is quite a lot of brown as fields are harvested.

S!

Voted for a tad darker color. Not much would do it.

Not too sure about this. Whilst rapeseed oil only became a human food after WW2 it has been used for industrial purposes like lubrication and as a biofuel (lamps etc) for centuries. I think it could even have been grown widely during the war for precisely these purposes but am not sure about this.

After WW2 the erucic acid was bred down to levels which made rapeseed oil fit for humans. Further refinements including the removal of bitter glucosinolates were done much later in the late 70's/early 80's to generate canola which certainly is a modern crop (and getting more modern with today's much more precise modifications).
