Normandy

nickname on the IL2 forum i saw was Ugly Media

It's not that bad, and for SP the barthek mod makes it's pretty decent actually.

All the colours are washed out for some reason. 

You might want to check your monitor settings. I had to dial mine back because to me the colors were too intense.

Almost cartoonish, especially the greens. Now they are just right.

Probably the lowest quality of the lot

Have you flown over it in a helicopter? The cities and towns are quite detailed, also they have added a lot 

of new things to the airfields, like hangars, vehicles, etc and now they don't look so barren. You can also add static

vehicles and planes to further spruce things up. The hedgerows along roads and train tracks

make for some interesting shooting solutions of vehicles and trains. Personally I like it.

With Barthek's texture mod- Normandy looks superb. Better than the Channel map even, in terms of colours. Some people bash Normandy, but apart from the colours, which are indeed off- the map looks good and runs good in the Normandy area. The outlying areas (Le havre and east and England) look bad.
