FScene vs Ground Envrionment Pro

Featured Replies

Something I'd not mentioned before, but I was doing an ILS into Exeter (a real approach I mean, not in FS) one evening back last Summer, there was heavy looking stratus at about 2500' and the sun just above the horizon caught the tops of the hills. It doesn't happen often, but I through "Jeez, that looks just like FScene!" How odd reality should mimick fiction :)On a bright day the UK is a rich verdant and vivid green (apols for the crass tautology, just making the point), even in Winter. If anything it is Summer when the subdued colours appear but that is another matter. GE as good as it is, is simply a tad conservative and that is annoying. I guess I can play around with the texture tools, but I don't have the patience.

I live on the North Kent Coast, and was out walking along the beach a few weeks ago, and I had a panoramic view of the Kent countryside. What I noticed was the presence of vivid greens, even though it was winter! I agree, GE Pro doesn't quite capture this.I've actually got both GE Pro and FS Scene textures installed, it's just a matter of renaming the folders and starting up FS with whatever textures I feel like flying with.

You have the option in GEPro to make the colors as bright or subdued as you want, especially if you have Active Sky. You can then match the textures to the weather.

I've come to believe that our British friends see their landscape as bright and vivid green simply because they only see the sun some 10 days a year, and it contrasts so stunningly with the gray fog that generally dominates... ;-)So the best solution is to use GEPro 355 days of the year, and FScene for 10.CheersBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile

Oi! You cheeky monkey :DDid you know that we in the SE are still officially in a state of drought? It's been lashing down for weeks and I'm still not allowd to use a hosepipe.You couldn't make it up!

Would FSGenesis landclass work ok. GE Pro does it require a lot of tweeking or is it simple. I'm looking at Flight Env, Ground Env Pro, Ultimate Ter, FSGenesis and Active Sky 6.5.I hope these all work well together with out much tweeking.
