Where can I see the maximum achievable quality of the environment in MSF?

I'm getting a lot sharper textures with settings on High. The only time I see textures like that is in fly-by view which is kind of telescopic due to the zoom level. Similar problem in FSX.

If that is a 3rd Party addon for FSX, then there are problems. If I'm right, that team is mainly for designing 3rd Party Scenery. That's like 50-over 100 people working on just scenery. that's how they make that amazing scenery addon for FSX

 

Hello

That Everest scenery for FSX was the work of one man, Frank Dainese and it is Freeware which sadly is not allowed in Flight! for now

Thanks for your help. I'v set the menu to maximum all. And I made the photoshooting while have the aircraft's viewpoint at the top, and indeed zoomed in.

Is it possible to show one of your (or other members) views by uploading a picture as an example to this post? TMO it could give me (and maybe other interested members) a easier way to compare the results?

T.i.a.

Correct.

 

The "Only 50 people" argument, which I have heard in several places and have some sympathy for, tends to ignore the amazing things done by extremely small numbers of people for FSX.

 

Its why I find myself puzzled by (but resigned to) some mediocre elements of flight that would very likely have been corrected by a single third party person in a garage somewhere in a matter of days. I suspect the approval process and etc of being in a large company makes things move at a glacial pace compared to what we are used to with FSX.

 

I also think something like Vehicle Simulator; essentially done by one guy, makes the "only 50 people" argument look even weaker.

 

What time and love and some help from third parties can do.

We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

One person working alone can get an incredible amount of work done in a short time. In a large corporate environment, the same job that would take one person half a day expands to a week because of various overhead.

 

A single developer can see something that needs to be done, and decide quickly to do it, and have it done by the end of the day. A corporation will have someone on the team see the same thing, then it has to go through a major process to get approved. This is even before the week mentioned above. Then the changes the developer made have to be approved, then they have to be tested, usually including regression testing to make sure nothing else got broken.

 

This is why small companies can compete with big ones.
