Silver1SWA,

Very well said ! I used to fly around my place in FlightSim, but all I see is the forest, although we have some tall buildings nearby, but they are left out, so therefore, there's no chance of seeing my house there either Well, you are going to be one lucky guy when you receive that package !

Oh BTW Thank you Birdman for whatever it was you did to get my pic to come out! 

Hey Silver and Joe D and Silent exploder

Joe D I know you got the demo, can you give me a little more insight of what you found to be wrong with it!

Silver are you using the current versions of Megascenery  How is it working out for you?

Silent Exploder I was on Avsim and was checking out that freeware scenery and wasn't too impressed with the way it looks. I saw an actual video of the scenery effect in action! It looks great and whats $40 bucks? I pay $130 for a moving violation Ticket here in NY. (THEY SAY NEW YORK is in a budget crisis)

I don't know about everyone elses opinion about Mega Scenery. But when I fly I usually stay in a specific area, I only went Intercontinental once (A flight from JFK New York to Chorlette Amalie in St.thomas (my homeland)) I sat for the whole 3 hour flight! My butt hurts!  So for me now I just like to pick certain areas to fly in and just go up and take a tour of the area! If Mega Scenery is going to make an area look ultra detailed I am there!

Thanks for the reply silver, I will definately look into investing california area. I do some flying in that area sometimes. I like the flight from SanFran to Los Angelos LAX Intl. I like flying around San Fran. I don't like the Default La area. Once you clear the mountains on approach to LAX its seems like all of California is a desert with the exceptions of a few airports all over the place.

Same story for Europe and Asia. Well, for most of it anyways.

Megascenery doesn't really have any hit on the framerates.  It's a very easy going addon.  All that you are seeing is a redone ground texture.  The cpu usage is really minimum, in fact when you install it turns the texture settings down as it's not a really consuming texture.

I think IanR sums it up there, it looks delicious but I never fly there so I won't get it. Would be nice if they did one for England! (seeing as we one the Rugby world cup )

it's just like silver said

You can't apreciate Mega Scenery unless you live in the particular area it is created for. That is why I am outraged at MegaScenery 2: New York. I posted some screen shots in a thread and from what you can see, they very much suck and this is coming from someone who lives in New York.

I thought this thing is suppose to have extreme detail. How extreme can this be and you can't even see the FDR or Harlem river drive in manhattan. They don't even have the Projects that make up New York. Hell the Tower at LaGuardia is Missing! I don't think MSNY is going to be landing anywhere on my PC.

Know what ya mean Mav, but im afraid that there's just only so much that can be done in a $50 flight simulator in a $1200 computer, heck even a $5000 machine.
The only way to get the sheer amount of scenery that New York has is in one of those 12milion dollar simulators that the airlines & the airforce have.

But well yeah jeez, if a tower is missing that's pretty bad though. Heh, the I-90 bridge in FS is missing the part that extends from Mercer I. to the shore of lake Washington in Fs2004, but it was there in 2002, weird.
