hi,Now I have it. The entire continental US in 1 meter photoscenery. 48 states from Miami to Seattle, from Boston to San Diego, non stop real scenery! :( When I remember the FS 2000 scenery I started with and I see what I have now, I can't believe it!!http://www.sim-savvy.com/Happy flying guys

I suppose its most fun flying the heavies at higher altitudes without weather obstructing the view.I prefer low and slow with Orbx-FTX, REX weather and scenery peppered with autogen.

daylight only and no seasons...I'll pass.FTX is the right balance. I never found photoscenery to look very realistic in the sim anyway.

2 meter, I believe.

You obviously haven't seen decent photoscenery.

I agree with you, partially. Some of the photoreal scenery (MegasceneryEarth covering the southern San Jose/Reid-Hillview Airport area for example) has strange coloring for the ground textures. OTOH, the Megascenery X photoreal scenery covering SOCAL (Los Angeles to San Diego) is excellent and very realistic, as is the MegasceneryEarth coverage for the area just north of Los Angeles, which covers Ventura County. I live in SOCAL and I know this area quite well. The Megascenery X coverage for Phoenix is also very well done. The issue of not having seasons is valid. But, in areas like SOCAL and Phoenix where it rarely, if ever, snows the disparity is not that great between Winter and Summer. For other areas located in the North East U.S. and North Central U.S., I disable my photoreal NY, Chicago and Mass. scenery from approximately Dec through March and use the default FSX, GEX, UTX scenery which gives these areas a more realistic winter appearance.

Just curious how big the hard drive(s) are in your system? And how fast your internet connection is?As a personal project, I am doing my home state of Kalifornia. One season will be around 150gb. Five seasons would be 750gb. Night and dusk/dawn would add around another 50-100gb, maybe more. I'm guessing you want full autogen for the 150,000 sq. miles? Shouldn't take long, social security checks would appear before finishing and that's almost six years away.And then there's the question of if you have the system capable of rendering things properly? Because as another person touched on, there is photo scenery and then there's good photo scenery. Take a fairly decent system and pretty good photo scenery and it's fun to go exploring.

What's the fifth season?

What's the fifth season?

The FS 5th season is HW (hard Winter) I guess that means (more) snow in appropriate areas as opposed to mostly just bare trees and brown grass. Some places it probably wouldn't make a bit of difference but in mountainous or far northern areas, total snow coverage.Loyd
