You know there is a whole lotta world outside the good old US of A ...... :(

But it is flat as a pancake!!There is so much beauty in the US to enjoy from the air - starting from Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Montana, Wyoming, etc - by the way I don't live in any of these states.

I do think the Western US is so dramatic and varied that I agree-I'd like to see them done. On the other hand, even though Michigan is fairly flat (the U.P. has a range of "mountains"), the huge number of beautiful lakes in addition to the Great Lakes,islands in the lakes, make this area quite interesting and beautiful to fly over-especially when it is not winter!

:(

Ah, great Jean-Paul, you have found the beer jugs!Wolfgang

Reducing Scenery Complexity down one notch will give you a noticeable improvement in Seattle without losing hardly any eye candy. We have our own low-poly dock cranes coming in a service pack which will solve the FPS hit those red default cranes are causing.

I'm still wondering where I am with this. I'm using recommended sliders, with V Dense Scenery and Normal/Sparse AG, but have serious blurry issues in towns, and even variable clarity elsewhere. This is with a QX6850, 3ghz o/c at 3.33, 4 Gigs of Ram and a 8800GTS, Vista 32, defrag'd to death with UD8, using both high perf to put FSX on the outer disk area, and name/folder defrag to keep stuff together.I love the mountains, the photoreal scenery up high is great. But elsewhere I'm just thinking, maybe I need to upgrade - but that surprises me, given the frame-rate friendly stuff I've read. I haven't yet turned off road traffic, but I have it at about 15% only, and am not sure I'd want to run it with no traffic. Am I expecting too much? I'm flying at 1800 - 2500 feet. At 4000 and more I'm getting crisper textures - but then, of course I would; what's the point of all that nice AG if I have to be so high I can't see it? Any thoughts much appreciated.

Yeah they already did Australia in case you missed it :(

This scenery converted me to FSX!

Wow, thank you Wolfgang! We're honoured to have brought you to the Dark Side :(

Ryan... I wish there was a "like" button :(

LOL! Ok it took me a few seconds :(

I reckon you're expecting too much, Paul.. I ran the i7-950 at 4.0 gig and was "as happy as Mitch", before PNW, and so I dropped down to 3.8 and got pretty good performance at that - but now PNW has re-written the book.We've just spent a three-four-week spell of BufferPools=yada, and TBM=yada, and I've got my beast as smooth as silk, locked at 25, most things Max or close to max, and me feeling excellent! .... and then, having loaded PNW a couple of days ago - I feel like I've got to start all over again. It's now mostly satisfactory, but if you want to see 24+ fps with 25% GA and Commercial, with some (minimal) road - plus decent ASE/REX weather, then you need more horses than the 3.33 you have at this moment. The good part is - an ASUS PT6 (not the deluxe) is cheap as heck, along with the hugely overclock-able, well-documented i7-920 - the pain isn't too great and it will work. I think there's newer procs on the horizon, but the i7 captured me a few months ago, so I went for it, and I'm glad I did, because the C2D, o/c/d at 3.2, wasn't anywhere near as powerful as the i7. Anyway - good luck.

lol that would be really good having that, I think the next version of IPB will have that

Wow, thank you Wolfgang! We're honoured to have brought you to the Dark Side :(

The Dark Side? Of the Moon? :(

Alright!! This looks absolutely amazing!Sooooo....who needs ACES now? Can't wait to see when you guys release FS15! :(

There is an elevation issue with PNA when switching back to the default FSX scenery. Many airports will be lower or higher than the surrounding ground level. KSEA is sunk into the ground several feet. I know it can be fixed manually disabling the FTX mesh in the Scenery Config. However, my question is what affect does LEAVING PNA active when flying outside of the PNA area? Does it produce anomalies or errors elsewhere on the planet? Thanks.Bob.. :)

I grew up in Upstate NY, and I can definitly say the finger lakes region and the Adirondack Mountains are something to be seen from the air in the summertime.I think they should just start going state-by-state. We are going to need to find some investors for these guys :)

Hi Bob,The elevation adjustments we have are only applied within the boundaries of PNW, so it does not affect anywhere outside the area. Funny thing is, we honestly did not expect anyone to disable PNW and then go fly there again using default. Our bad. We're working on a patch to FTX Central which also disables those elevation adjustments. Meantime, one workaround is to disable (not delete!) all ADE_FTX_PNW*.BGL files in Scenery\World\Scenery - there are 99 of them.
