It's not the plane or sky you should be looking at in this pic. Its the ground scenery  !

I was exploring a website and I found this link to PC aviator direct, that offered ultra realistic looking Ground Textures for FS9!

I don't know if anyone is familiar with it, but it is called Mega Scenery USA 2004 from PC aviator direct. This is their link:

Check out the video. It will have you thinking is this a really the game or a live video  ! Then to prove it is the game they take you into the virtual cockpit and give you an outside veiw to show you that it indeed the game. They claim to use actual Satelite imagery to give the dramatic realism this program offers.

Their are many more pics for you to check out at the site! I think this makes as real as it gets an understatement. It can't get any more real unless they put your body in the plane and send you up!

The only bummer is this program comes in Volumes for certain areas of Fs9 and doesn't work on all the ground textures in the game. But who cares! The first Volume is LA and San Diego. If they come out with New York and Florida I will be happy. But they said they are doing all States!

p.s. : just took note the pic isn't coming out, don't know why I used the correct spelling and checked it twice and used capital letters for JPG and it won't come out, just check out the website for tons of pics anyhow! You will be impressed!

I resized it too, your right thats stunning! Is it payware? If so this should be in the payware screenshots forum..... naughty boy!

Jeez! Did ya have to show that, now i want it!

Why ain't the default scenery like that?

Great shot.

hmm....as far as i can see it,those textures are just some kind of relief stuff.
i wouldn't buy it,i'd rather wait for the release of V2 of the free relief textures for FS.

the free relief textures were just released on avsim....gotta check 'em out now. 

The problem with the "megascenery" is you have to be at a substantial altitude to get the effect.
Also, if you fly out out the covered area, you are in for a bit of a jolting scenery change.
I tried the demo but really didn`t like it.

As for the freeware "relief"  ground textures, they make the ground textures seem out of focus/out of place to me. The effect is way out of scale. Furrows in fields seem 10 feet deep even at high altitude, for example.
The "relief" autogen textures make the buildings look kind of primitive, hand drawn, rough textured even when they shouldn`t be.

Of course, they`re just my opinions and you are free to tell me I must be blind and should hand in my medical. 

Bird man or Mav316  ???

Very good shot and yes, that piece of work does look realistic. You must have some good OS to run FS2004 at full settings and have these great pictures, very nice indeed !

I just can't wait for volume 3 of Megascenery, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA!  HOME BABY!!  Now my hometown will actually exist in the game!  MS kinda left it out.  Haha I want to see my house in flight sim!  8)  I don't think Megascenery is something you can truely appreciate unless you live in, or are extremely familiar with the area.
