VFR photographic scenery (Read 523 times)

Ive just got volumes 1-3 of Just flight's VFR photographic scenery for England and wales but the loading time in between where you start and en route is really slow i was wandering if there are any ways to reduce this time. (My PC is almost brand new so that shouldnt be a problem)

Cheers

Cut the viz to around 30-40 miles and see if that helps...

I have VFR Scenery and it works fine on my PC, to increase the quality you need to have antialiasing on and set mip mapping to a high level.  What spec PC do you have?  Also in order to enjoy it it really is a good idea to go in a cessna or other GA, for me i usually use the Mooney Bravo.  Really to speed it up you need a good graphics card and over 512 MB RAM

Cheers

How high were you?  Ahem..... let's rephrase that a bit....... how high off the GROUND were you?  Grin

A lot of the photographic stuff liooks worse than the default under about 1000 feet AGL....... and it gets really good well above 2000.

Might your experience be from the low levels?

best,

Smashie,

I am impressed with the combination of FSGenesis mesh with FScene textures .... I use it in Japan... and it finally looks vaguely LIKE Japan.
