Are these programs the same thing. On there web sites, the Megascenery X seems to have more color the the Megascenery earth titles. I have the Megascenery Earth Phoenix area, cost was $7 for the download and the colors seem kinda flat. I also have the Daytona Beach area and it also seems very bad on color. I was considering purchasing the Megascenery X version but if it is the same aerial photo's, then I will not purchase it. http://www.megascenery.com/megasceneryxphoenix.htm vs. http://www.megasceneryearth.com/store/cart...;category_id=62

The products you are refering to are completely different products. A lot of people were disapointed that they moved from MegasceneryX which had a proven track record of being a quality product to Megascenery earth which seems to be mass produced and of variable quality.Having said that you will find people that are quite happy with the newer product depending on the areas purchased.Bryan.

In my experience with the two it usually is:MegaScenery X = GreatMegaSceneryEarth = BadBasically all the MegaScenery X stuff I own is great and I own all of them except Hawaii and Reno.Now there are some areas where MegaSceneryEarth is ok. I own some of the Seattle tiles and they look pretty good, the Tucson tiles look ok, and the Miami/Ft.lauderdale tiles I own are no good. From what I have heard the Chicago and New York city tiles are ok and I may give those a try at some point. Frankly, I wish they had stayed with the MegaScenery X format where they actually took the aerial photos themselves rather than using satelite photos.

I have the MegasceneryX for Phoenix and really like it and think it is better than Megascenery Earth. I did buy Megascenery Earth for the Grand Canyon area though and like it but the colors there look bland too. I think you'll really like the Megascenery X version around Phoenix. I have been reading some bad stuff about the rendering of areas in Florida and no developer seems to be doing a great job. For Florida I use FS Dreamscapes NEXTMap

Cool, thanks for the responses. I remember I had the Demo for Palm springs for FS9 and it looked awsome and gave you excellent FPS. I only have $14 tied up into Megascenyearth and definatley not recommend it to anyone. Looks like I will be adding Megascenery X phoenix to my collection.

I purchased Mega scenert earth 2.0 for south east Texas.  I fly out of KBRO here in Brownsville Texas being old and a old VFR pilot I like to fly pilotage meaning look around and compair what I see to my sectional and feel good about knowing where I am without using a VOR Fix.  Mega Scenery does that for me.  The only haert breaker is the area along the Rio Grande River or the boder area with Mexico.  It is apparent Mega Secenry just stop work along the U.S. side of the river.  Get away say a mile from the border and it cleans up.  In my case I did not get what I paid for they should have though enough of their product to complete it.  I send a e-mail and asked if in Mega Scenery Earth 4 if this problem would be corrected.  I Never received a reply.  I signed up on the PCAvaitor forum a couple of weeks ago but I am not allowed to make a post their.  Additude problem.
