    No it doesn't.

    The terrain looks fantastic maxed out.


    @Piper, where the heck do you see a FW190, and the Blenhiem Mk. IV was active during the Battle of France already.....

    the Mk IV Blenheim was not built in 1940 & pretty sure the FW190 wasn't either so not much accuracy on the timeline in the video but it looks good.

    Hey Rick, I don't have my spectacles on, but I didn't see an FW-190. I did see an Italian aircraft, dunno what it was though. According to the RAF Museum, the Blenheim IV was built from 1938.
    I thought it was damned un-sporting to shot down that Tiger Moth.

    Not if you're a native of these shores, it doesn't. I don't know who advises Oleg on these things, but he needs new advisors.

    Cliffs of Dover sounds like a delightfully cheesy folk song or similar. It's a bit of a daft title for a game.

    The name change really threw me, but it's a marketing decision by UbiSoft. Whether or not their decision is good remains to be seen. I wonder how many will see the name "Il-2 Sturmovik" and assume it's just another version of the same old game? UbiSoft is the same publisher that decided to put American aircraft manufacturers' names on the box cover of Il-2 Sturmovik: Pacific Fighters without obtaining permission to use those names, thus bringing to an end the inclusion of additional American designed aircraft in the Il-2 series. Their choices of copyright protection schemes has a spotty track record as well. We'll see how this pans out and I'd like to see some reviews of the flight and damage modeling before I decide to buy.

    the terrain is based on a fantasy world. Englands grass is green no yellow at all. Dont bother saying that modern fields are yellow, thats oil seed rape, twasnt invented in the 40s




    this ones even worse, purple ... blue ..orange .. brown .. even a bit of pink... i'd be ashemed trying to pass this off as England ...

    yes i know i cant spell half the time! Thank you kindly to those few who pointed that out

    I think I should join in on the fuss...what they tried to pass of as Berlin in the original IL-2 is unacceptable! The colors and city layout...all wrong!

    Come on, people. Well all know you will buy the sim in the end regardless of coloring of the landscape.
    Besides, the ground is just textures which can be edited anyways.

    Couldn't the yellow be wheat ?

    Well I am a part of the CFS- IL2 wars... developed for both but always had hope for the next CFS.


    Will be buying this though. If nothing is to note what new things have been done with this sim... and to see if will be more open for us to design for.

    I am not defending the terrain in Il-2 Cliffs of Dover but the idea that England was only green in WWII is one I have seen many times on the net. This isn't true as the pictures attached show, all of these images are of planes flying over WWII England. Note that many of the fields are definately yellow or brown, not just green.

  12. #37
    Some more WWII colour images over England. Certainly plenty of browns and yellows in there.

  13. #38
    If you've ever flown over England, especially coming in from North America, one of the most noticeable things you see is the incredible depth of green. It's an island and the recipient of much rain brought in by the Atlantic storms. Certainly today it is highly contrasted with the brilliant yellow of rape seed fields, but back then the muted yellow of wheat fields would have been interspersed by that same rich green. Early spring months would have earthy brown, black or red soil (depending on where you are), but this is soon replaced by the food crops or dairy fields so necessary at time of war. Early colour photos of course diminish and wash out, the only time you may see brown fields would be in deep drought.

    It's a little known fact that most British war films made during the war were filmed in colour, it was the scenery that was black and white.

    I never said it was all green, but even the "green" in il2:COD has an over yellow hue and overdone brightness to it

    That is much clearer now thanks, I agree the greens have an unrealsitic yellow hue to them. It is like they just added a bit more yellow tint to the entire terrain textures. It is quite crap looking to be honest. I agree the terrain in IL2 and the shots of the new terrain look not even close to the english countryside (try saying that on simhq without the sycophants attacking you!).

    Forgive me but the problem was that your first post left no room for misinterpretation. It explicitly states no yellow at all. Obvioulsy this was referring to England during WWII.

    "the terrain is based on a fantasy world. Englands grass is green no yellow at all."

    The reason I responded to that post was to show that there was indeed a variety of greens, browns and yellows in the English countryside during WWII. The shots I posted show this without a shadow of a doubt. Even if one or two of them are washed out it is clear there are yellows and browns in there.

    I'm hope this clears things up now that we both agree and are on the same page

    You've not mislead us in the past, so I'll believe you. This is unfortunate for those without internet service or those on slow or limited services. I probably will not buy it, I don't like having to use the internet every time I want to play something.

    Oops! I read that as "with", not "without". Without is great!

    The game will feature over a dozen flyable aircraft from the UK, German and Italian armies. The single player campaign will feature the player taking on the Germans as part of the British Air Force battling it out over London and other parts of Britain, France and Belgium. The game will also feature multiplayer with support for up to a whopping 128 players. Look for graphical support for DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 features.

    In addition to the regular game there will also be a Collector's Version that will feature a 150 page ring binder with pilot instructions, a replica of the pilot's notes on the Spitfire I Aeroplane and a cloth pilot escape map. You can check out a trailer for the game after the jump:
