Reinhardt's Panzers crossing the R. Meuse at Montherme. -- Well you can just about see the dots on the bridge.
The area in the foreground has been manually adjusted to improve the fit of the river into the gorge. More work on the distant areas required. Because bridges are set to zero height the river gorge is too deep. I need to smooth the valley sides more to make the slope angles look more like reality. In the final version these should be wooded slopes.
A minimum length of straight of 600m is required to locate a bridge this also creates difficulties in a location like this. The steep valleys of the Ardennes will all require a lot of manual adjustment to get them to look right. Another example of texture "tearing" near the bridge.
Should be more like this
