This is the new London scenery for the UK VFR photoreal and terrain mesh.

Sort of puts an end to the whole discussion about autogen.

The Spit is from Realair.

More of the Spit later!

Wow, that's really great! Nice shots.  Shocked

I was just looking at that Spitfire and might consider it for the future.

Tally ho!

Sweet.

I took some shots off this scenery a while back.  I couldn't get them to compress enough without loosing quality so gave up.

This scenery seems to hit my system a little bit harder than the Fairford stuff though.  However it does look extremely good and has added a lot more character to London.

Great shots Ramsa, and a good choice of plane to show off the scenery Wink
Its nice to see they put HMS Belfast on the Thames at last 8) However the trees in St. James Park do seem to have a rather rectangular shadow... odd!

LOL, thats coz of the way the textures are done I think.  If you load one I bet you will see a tree on a black background.  The black actually goes transparent due to the alpha channel I think but you still see the shadow of the rectangle!

Ramsa how the hell did you compress those images without loosing quality.  I sat for ages with my images in ACDsee and souldn't get them under 100kb without loosing quality.

It's hard to explain the process of compression since it's tied into your settings in general.

Your video card and .cfg file have to be set-up  correctly to fully use any editing program

I fly in 1600x1200 which I reduce to 800x600 for this site. I than use around 30% compression in ACDsee for complicated scenery shots such as these. That generally puts me under 100KB.

There are different types of compression I use Lancross which gives me good reproduction at lower compression values.

When you save the file you are given options before you do a final save. It is in the options that you can set your % and type of compression.

I have to point out that I use many different color correction settings on my video card to achieve different effects so there is no editing necessary.

My best advise is to study the color correction possibilities on your video card's control panel to see what is possible.

Ah I see. I have played with the sharpness bit on my g/settings and thats pretty cool.

Haven't toyed with colour corrections yet but guess thats next on the list now!

thanks Ramsa  Grin

I ended up having to use 39% compression for some of my shots even after resized to 800x600.  I was using the same compression method as yourself, I found that one gave the best results when I compared them all.

Now to work out these colour correction things  Grin

Just had a quick play.  You gotta be very careful how much you move that line!  I had my screen going all sorts of weird colours  Grin  I might take a few screenies of it flurescent style seeing as I technically haven't edited it lol.  Just to work out which way to move the line is the tricky bit I am guessing.
