January 5, 200719 yr 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.
January 6, 200719 yr 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.

January 6, 200719 yr 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.
January 7, 200719 yr 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 Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
January 7, 200719 yr 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!
January 11, 200719 yr Author 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.
