Those shots are incredable, especially #3. I've never seen scenery that nice (I don't own any payware-just out of curosity, where did you get it)? The plane looks awesome too.

The means of achieving these screenshots is really too complicated to talk about here.

If any of you has questions for me you can write to me ramsa329@msn.com

Stephen, it is well worth it!
I am considering some of the other scenery on the site! The Switzerland is Ultimate VFR flying over deep gorges, snowy mountains, sharp peaks, low valley's, pristine rivers, etc... etc....
I have never seen anything like it! Shocked

And you won't be bored with it. It loads over 25 or so flights you can choose. I flew it for over an hour the other night and the scenery didn't end! I was so blown away I needed to land in somebody's backyard. At least they offered me some cheese and wine!

That scenery certainly looks awesome in the shots that are on the site and from Ramsa's stuff. �But I have a question......

When you get low...... is the autogen 3-D stuff coordinated onto the photo image.... or is the 3-d surface basically gone? �Or is there just a small "smattering" to keep some 3-d effect when near the ground?

My experience with most large scale "photo realistic" software that I have seen is that when you are over more naturalistic settings (mountains, forrests, fields, farms, prarrie, etc.) that it looks tremendous, albeit from some altitude,.... but that when you get into lots of man-made structures .... and as the altitude drops the whole effect it totally "blown".

How about a screenie of a "low and slow" approach over Zurich or something liek that?

Appreciate any feedback.

best,

Contained within the scenery there is some special autogen however as with all photoreal scenery when you get down low you do lose definition and you do not have the default autogen.

I personally have no problem with this fact in any of my photoreal sceneries since I really don't stay on the ground for very long or do that much flying below certain altitudes.

I can tell you that the clarity of the canyon sides when flying low is very very good as you can see by the 2nd of the additional shots that I posted.

Maybe the real issue is an adjustment of the buyers expectations. What you expect from this scenery is what you see in these shots and not something else as with say a semi-photoreal scenery like Wonderful Brazil or others.

If you expect something else than you would be dissapointed.

I can only say that this scenery is one of the best enhancements I have ever seen for flightsim and I have almost all of them. I do not regret one penny that I spent.

Let me also say that the scenery is very very framerate friendly and this is a big plus.

FSscene which I also use and love allows me to turn off autogen if I choose without any detail loss and with a real gain. Check out the shots of the F-18 in the freeware shots and you will see what I mean.

Holy cow! I had to go back through them to make sure they weren't photos.

So beautiful... so beautiful... should have sent a poet.

Ramsa,

Thanks for the additional info on how the 3-d aspect of the scenery is handled. It is what I was thinking was the case.

Yeah... that shot with the plane tight in the canyon looks VERY much like a photo. Pretty amazing in that context.

best,
