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


Vic,

the product will indeed be downloadable at Flight1!

and yes, the powers-that-be lowered the price to reach more customers!

[quote author=Kevin]   I can understand wanting people to know about things you've done, but the guy only has 8 posts. [/quote]

This is completely OT, I know, but you shouldn't measure a man by the size of his p..ostscounter!
in fact there are those with 2500 posts of which 2470 are "yes", "I agree" or " Grin"
true I only came here because I wanted to "spread the news", but NOT to make money by this, ( I believe I mentioned I only MODERATE the forum there since I first saw those textures elsewhere and wanted to be part of the team),  but to tell you guys of - I believe - interesting stuff!

imho there's a thin line between spam and info.
I honestly believe people are interested in this. For me there's 4 must-have parts for max eye-candy on the FS-ground:

- mesh (for example FSGxxxxxx)
- landclass (same)
- roads/rivers/shoreline (for example Ulxxxxx Txxxxx)
- replacement ground textures (BEV or FSxxxx)
I also use NuRxxxx by FB.

hoping for your understanding,

Marc!

Marc,

I am one who enjoys updated ground textures and will look into your ground textures. I am always looking to upgrade what I have already had with something newer, fresher, better.

Recommendation to you, is to take some of your screenshots, make them under 100k and no larger than 800 x 600, upload them to Simviation (no links), then head to the payware screenshots forum area and create a thread there with up to 500k total of screen shots, with a little information about the product or a link to this thread.

There are a couple of payware developers that do the same to show payware addicts like myself their new wares.

And welcome to SimV as well!

I agree, Marc.  Welcome to SimV, and I hope you do well with your product.  As I already stated, I am in line to buy it when it get's out.  It was simply a matter of trying to keep spam off of the forum.  Hopefully, no offense was taken, and you find lots of interest for it here...

A couple of other things...

This is just a textures addon? Not mesh or terrain right?

I have FSScene but looking to maybe upgrade it with something more detailed

Yes, BEV is textures only and does not include any mesh.

Many of you know me here and are aware that I rarely promote any product.
When I first saw the  very early beta (alpha?) shots of some of the BEV textues, I was imediately impressed by them. I don't impress too easily!
So, I jumped at the chance to become a BETA tester.

I can assure everyone that the developer is sparing no effort to create a product that will be a major step forward  for FS-9 at a fair price. The much improved city textures and autogen alone are very impressive and should not be overlooked.

It is also planned that BEV will contain a texture configurator for some select textures. This will allow the user to choose  rock/cliff textures for example.  

Also, keep in mind that it is still in BETA and textures are evolving and improving as we speak. Many of the screen shots simply do not do BEV justice as they contain beta textures.
It will only get better! Smiley

thanks a lot, Kevin!

not at all, no offense - thanks for bringing the thread back - I was simply too lazy to read the "small print" about spam before I posted.

Hey Marc, I just got around to browsing your site and checking out the vids! Real nice stuff you have developed there!

Please keep us posted as I am eager to try out your textures as they look amazing!

I too am running Ultimate:
Terrain USA & CANDA.
FS Genesis Land class for US.
Real Scene 38 meter mesh for USA.
And Active Sky!  Grin

I am running FS Scene for ground textures but your stuff really looks like it has brought things to a new level!!

Great stuff and look forward to getting it.

Dave

Microsoft has already said (to kevin, I think) that fs2006 will be backward copmpatible.  So if that is true....... this texture should work with the new one. 

HOWEVER............... we don;t know what the default ground textures will look like in the new version.  SO it might be a moot point anyway.  Hard to say at this point.

But unless you have a honking FAST machine in ALL components...... my guess is that you won't be wanting to buy the new version...... unless Microsoft solves the "framerate problem" that fs2004 already exhibits without ADDED eyecandy.

So you might want the fs2004 textures anyway.  Wink


best,

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