WT, those are the winter trees, which make sense that you are seeing those as you are flying in January, at least in that screenshot. Try flying a QC in April or May and see what you get.

Adger;
The winter light snow and no snow trees maybe could use a little more tonal contrast to bring out the shadows between the branches, or maybe it's the angle of the sun. What do you think?

I guess you could argue that the light snow trees look a little flat or two-dimensional, although I don't really notice them that much.
Robert, that sounds like it might help.

Personally, I favor the alternative winter trees a bit more than the current winter trees, at least for no snow or light snow cover conditions.
In heavy snow conditions, I think the current trees look a bit better, but since we rarely fly with heavy snow cover, I still think we should go with the alternative trees.
It's never easy or simple, is it....

They could be in the next patch, but then these would be the Winter trees going forward for everyone of course. Personally, I favor the alternative winter trees a bit more than the current winter trees, at least for no snow or light snow cover conditions.

It's never easy or simple, is it.... Thanks for clarifying Pol..I have to agree with you Bob i think the pics of the trees that Pol posted i also like the alternative set mate.

Great minds think alike, right Adger? BTW, OBD's dedication to detail and customer satisfaction is simply fantastic!

"They don't have leaves on, but a quirk of alpha (see through part of a texture) on trees is if you increase it, they tend to vanish over a certain distance, and that isn't so realistic."
Always some form of frustrating give-and-take for you guys! It'd drive me back to the bottle. Another interesting thing about the trees is that, as far back as WOFF UE (have confirmed on my rig.) - if you run your lod bias setting at -1, a nice little effect is created where, depending on view and camera angles, tree branches appear to move in the wind - reminiscent of such effects sometimes seen in the old IL2-1946 when fully modded (then again, it might be my -1 lod bias causing that in IL2-46 as well). Cheers all, Von S

~ For my various FM/AI/FPS/DM Mods. for First Eagles 2, WoFF, RoF & WoTR, and tips for FlightGear, recommended is to check over my CombatAce profile ( https://combatace.com/profile/86760-vons/) and to click on the "About Me" tab while there. ~
