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

thanks, Marc

thanks a lot!!!

and sorry 'bout the size, it's a direct link. I won't post more here, as promised


Marc

Cole, what do the Alps look like with those textures?

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

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

[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 " "
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!

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...

Kevin

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!

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.

Dont mind Dave, he is just a payware addict 

OK GUYS! in order not to overspam this, I will stop posting here for now - please, for any questions, check out our forum , here's the link to the site:

http://www.flightsim-bevs.com/

looking forward to seeing you there! please send your input, suggestions, requests and criticism (<-- that one we need most, since there's still time till release!)

best regs, Marc aka "Cole" 

On that link, the very last shot is impressive 

But im worried about by the time it comes out for europe, 2006 will be out..   

Great,
By 2006 i will have a new graphics card, no worries..

Ditto here.  I have been "tweaking this program since just about the day it came out... and have upgraded the machine twice....... finally including a whole new machine.  I've added a lot of payware mesh / scenery stuff.

It will take a LOT of incredible improvements to get me to run out in about a year and ditch all this time and money to upgrade.  I know that I was VERY unhappy when I ran out and changed from fs2002 to fs2004 shortly after it was released........ because it took me forever and a WAD of cash to get the thing anywhere NEAR the promises on the box.

I expect that the new version will provide the same experience...... and I really do not want to repeat that too soon.  It was painful.

best,

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