Colors seem somewhat dull, but otherwise it looks fairly realistic. Hoping for an update again!

Scattering + fairly hight altitude + screenshots are compressed by Twitter I think, so it looks washed out.

Mainly the distant forests are currently low contrast because of some limitations in current implementation.

Is this 30m color data? Washed out colors could be a result of processing/blending?
Even with atmospheric scattering, I would assume a more colorful look.

Only forests and water are 30m. Vegetation index and ground colors are still 500m.

I've seen several times people asking about Netherland being flooded. Seems like the new water mask will fix that:

Parts of the Netherlands that are below sea level are no longer flooded using the new water mask data #outerra

Anyway, lots of goodies:

And a lot of lake stuff:

How did I miss that steering one?... I guess it never showed up in my subs.

The car steering thing looks pretty cool, though I'm pretty sure most passenger cars only have ~720 degrees of steering rotation lock-to-lock. That said, the one big gameplay feature I've been wanting in Outerra for years, is the ability for human characters to possess vehicles, watercraft, and aircraft. Hopefully that will open the floodgates for such features as cargo hauling, character inventories, and delivery missions. And gameplay in general.

As for the lakes thing (yay, lakes!), is there some form of global dataset for trophic state? Y'know, clear blue water vs. murky, algae-laden water?

Comparison of 30m SRTM (currently used, noisy one) and 30m USGS NED data (Manhattan in upper left corner)

Note SRTM noise is relatively small in amplitude, around ±2m. Might be worth to apply some filtering, also bringing the data size down

Some stats: new wip rendering pipeline. New terrain import with filtered and leveled urban areas, restored vegetation index and trees. Global city import (alpha).
