What I'd love to have!

I think this may be frowned upon but I couldn't resist trying a Spitfire in OFF3, the scenery is stunning and about the best there is IMO.
I would gladly pay the OFF price again for a ww2 version!

That looks very convincing! I don't have OFF3, but in OFF2, I didn't like the "fuzziness" of the gound textures.
 
Clive I have yet to install OFF3 but the scenery in your screen shot looks just like Jonathons standalone scenery which I do have installed! What is the difference?

I like Johnnos scenery very much but the field sizes seem too large and there isn't enough colour variation to my old eyes (this is all subjective of course :)). The OFF3 scenery is about spot-on and includes some very realistic tree grouping.

This is stock ETO with Johnnos terrain as a comparison to above. What I'm planning to do sometime is to have a bash at this scenery creation malatky myself.

Trouble is old chap there are regional differences too. The south-east fields are a bit different to here up north and the colour variation depends on season, crops planted etc.
 
Aye Jeff, grim up t'north by 'eck lad. :ernae:

OFF3 has the seasonal variations, Mark certainly knows his stuff. :)
Regional variations would be possible I'm sure, it would be great to have the continent different to the UK.
 
Aye, tha knows, there's nowt like a good ol' Yorkshire slag-'eap ter navigate thysen by, lad! Ah'm startin a movement f't' incorporation o' slag'eaps into t'landscape in CFS. Eeeeh, by gum, that'd be grand!
 
(poncy accent) How about some wetlands and raised bogs? Sites of Special Scientific interest are sadly neglected in CFS3 and would be of considerable historical interest in addition to their contribution to biodiversity. Of course, some philistine would insist a Wellington or B-24 be half-buried in them, or would build a mission which finishes up to the gills in the aforementioned wetlands.... :173go1:
 
I've been outta work since January, I'd just like to have OFF3, anyone got a used copy that they want to sell? Real cheap.
 
I have loaded Winding Mans scenery and I pleased with it..I would like to see better city lay outs, I have built several scenery cfg's to inprove it...I added objects to several places, there seemed to me from my travels in europe that the CFS scenery was a bit light on objects in the cities..The BOB scenery also was a GREAT help in the long run..I liked the added stuff buildings, docks etc..But over all I would like to see more objects in the OC..
 
Especially raised bogs! we used to have them at school, you know. Stephenson-Smith got stuck in one when we gave him a bogwash. Ears caught under the rim or something. Terrible do, water everywhere.

Actually, if we have sites of special scientific interest, we'll be invaded by groups of odd-looking people with beards and home-made sweaters wittering about wildlife and how the airfield has done untold damage to the mating cycle of the greater spotted wigglewing...

How about Historic sites? Try the attached mission (goes in ETO 1.2 BoB missions - Training) ;)

Eeeeeh, 'eck! An worrabaht my slag-'eaps, then!

You can tell there's a bias in favour o't' southerners in CFS3. There in't even no Yorkshire so's y'd notice...
 
I LOVE IT!!!! TOO COOL!!! I just downloaded the mission..This shall be fun.. Thank you very much, I am impressed....

Thank you for telling me, Lewis. That would be worrying! I shall stop pretending to be a Scargillite and return to my more usual self. That will I hope solve the problem.

In any case, I don't really like tripe and onions...
 
Sweaters? Ghastly woolly things, not the sort of attire for a gentleman. And they tend to catch one's spectacles when one is undressing - if it wasn't for the beard my pince-nez would have been lost in the thunderbox on many an occasion.
 
Actually, chaps, a bit OT I suppose, but the scenery is lacking in two absolutely vital installations; pubs, to which the thirsty airman might retire using Philip's MG after a long day's popping off at Jerry, and Labour Party offices.

I can imagine your consternation at the idea of inserting Labour Party offices into the scenery. But they would provide an amusing alternative to, say, factories or railway stations in quick combat ground attack missions. I can imagine myself only too well beating up the local Labour candidate's headquarters in my Spitfire.
