Hi Vtrelut - great work on this campaign mod.
Maybe you can set me straight about something: Though I admire Compans' work tremendously, his new French textures look a bit odd to me. To my eye, there is a preponderance of dark ploughed fields (almost blue/grey) which I find hard to accept as northern France. I remember reading once about the fertile black-earth soils of Ukraine (chernozems?) and these keep coming to mind as I fly over Compans' version of France. The landscape looks so dark.
Geologically, I would have thought the soils of northern France would be similar to those of southern England (ie a light brown or red brown colour). As a Frenchman, can you tell me what your view is? If you say it's correct, then I'll believe it. :wink:
If it isn't right, can the tone of the offending field be altered?
