guys, hope you are interested:

Distributed through Flight One, Birds Eye View - http://www.flightsim-bevs.com/ - announces wonderful (or so I do believe) new replacement ground textures.

allow me to post two screenshots, here you can see new urban textures and correctly lined up autogen as well as some rural textures.

Our website with tons of screenshots and even videos is finished, release of the product is Oct 1st - we are still in beta and hence would very much appreciate your input!

don't be shy, check out the forum!

thanks,

Marc "Cole", BEV Forum Administrator

//EDIT: replaced 1280x1024 pic with 800x600

normal ground texture is ugly beyond belief - also the autogen is wrong --- I have added a second shot to my original post, but that's it, I don't want to fill this forum here with screenshots, so not to get banned, we have comparison shots and many others on our site.
Just check out the gallery there, there are no banners, pop-ups, ads or other crap. Just guys who love to sim-fly.

thanks!

Looks interresting !
But I think those textures are much to expensive !!
(Same with the fscene textures).
If I calulate right
6 continents (north and south america seperate)
it´s about 288$ for the whole world including all seasons.
I respect the hard work that was put into these addons
bur seriously not even a  the most advanced game nowadays where 150 people working for 3 years costs more
than 60$. And these are just texture sets. And believe me I know how hard/easy it is to make textures.
more than 200$ is just ridiculous.
50$ for the whole world incl. every season and
I´m your customer !!

well, first thing those are a lot cheaper than the competitors product. Second we announce discount right from the start. Third, those have been in production for three years now - creating those is an enormous task.
Fourth, few customers will get the whole world. I am a galaxy member of FSGenesis and can get the whole world mesh for free but I only fly in North-America and Europe, so two continents is all I need  Cheesy
I am only the forum administrator and I don't make money wining customers or selling the thing, I just tell you my humble opinion (those guys won me over after I looked at the first screenshot) - hey, it's still a lot cheaper than buying dozens custom sceneries which only cover a small area. Wink
Here you got near-photoreal textures for a whole continent.

But please, post all your opinions in the forum there, the powers-that-be are standing by!

thanks, Marc!

Andy, we don't have textures for Europe yet --- first thing to be released in a few weeks will be USA/Canada summer - check out the mountain pics in the gallery though - the Alps probably will look similar!
Anyway, throw any wishes or suggestion (smoother rocks, more fissures, less spots, darker, lighter, ...) into the forum, guys, we are still in beta so changes are possible - and, as I said, Europe is still a few months away!  Smiley

Cole,

I am specifically interested in Japan.  Are there plans to cover that? 

I have the four seasons of FScene for Asia....and they are WAY better than the derfault textures.  But they STILL leave a lot to be desired.  One problem is that "Asia" is VERY diverse...... Japan looks little like a lot of China for example.

And if so,...... will you do autogen buildings that more typically match Japanese architecture.....particularly thje rural areas?  The default Microsoft buildings are laughable.

Looks promising.   

best,

..............john

John,

thanks for your interest!
Buildings matching the auto-gen is BEV's specialty, check out the screenshots of the urban areas!
Asia will definitely covered, it's not clear though which continent/season comes when in the queue, USA/Canada summer will be first.
I suggest you hop over to the BEV forum and state your wishes for Asia! Since for now only the US are (mostly) done, your wishes might be granted, we welcome and need your input!

thanks, Marc!

i always thought that if you made a product cheaper or even cheap, you would sell tons more than reaching just a few with a high price, and would be much more profitable...and please alot more people in the process. nice if these thing could be downloaded...i have a terrible time with duties and customs here in vancouver, even for just a cd....purchased just flights spit and ended up paying almost $100. pixs look quite nice.....vic
