Green Acres Made by Rummy.
This uses the stock v2.10 Hi Res terrain textures (except the Concrete one) and makes them much greener.
Rummy also uses his DITHER files. These files overlay the terrain textures to influence a different look to them.
I blurred slightly his DITHER2 to fit better, village/fields interface. Sacrificing a better village look at the detriment of a better field look.
DITHERs are shared by many different textures, so I compromised.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?j0hnnyooljkFile is big. 44 MB. Will take some time to down load.
I generated a FarTiles.bin file for these textures. Also big, 28MB.

The Readme file:
==================================================================================================
17 October, 2009
This changes the stock v2.10 Hi Res (2048 resolution) BoBII terrain to look a lot greener.
More like it rained some days, during June in England, 1940, no drought.

This mod is assembled for use with the JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler.
1. If you already have JSGME installed in BoBII, extract the zip to your Battle of Britain II/ MODS folder.
You may need to make a new empty MODS folder within BoBII.

If you do not use it:
- Back up the Landmap2 and Landmaps folders, in the case that you don't like these.

- Open the Green Acres folder.
- Open Landmap2 folder. Select all files therein and copy them. Paste those files into the Battle of Britain II / Landmap2 folder.

The Green Acres Fartiles are also assembled for use with JSGME.
I would manually back up yours before Installing, just to be safe. It is in the Landscap folder, named FarTiles.bin. It is very large -- 260 MB!
Some pics using LANDSCAPE_TEXTURE_SIZE = 2048 and an 8 month old, off the BEST BUY shelf, computer:
I always hated the stock Concrete look. This one maybe too clean, even though I browned and darkened Rummy's offer a bit. I like this better than what was before.
Flying the End of the Defiant mission:
I think that with a greener England the air craft are easier to see.
NOTE! I have also put back the Old Treeline texture, that some folk hate so much, but that never bothered me. Better sub-prime than nothing!
Also, I am using my own blendmap file.
This is not included with this mod. Will offer at Stickman's Modifications.
