Areas are even more "plausibly" filled in than before, finally approaching what your eye actually expects to see in a dense cityscape. Its hard to overpraise the technical achievement, as I am unaware of anything else that comes close. Small niggles might be that many buildings apparently lack night lighting, and the low-height buildings on hills tend to run one nose into the ground as if they have crash landed.

 

Those are some pretty small things, compared to what is being accomplished, and I don't doubt that they will eventually be addressed.

Jason Chandler's aircraft are the best flight models I ever tried before.

Beta 7 city and country objects getting better :-)

 

Also very smooth overall...

 

On the c90 the prop, torque, ... gauges don't have needles?

Yes, I'll admit, the plausible world is looking much better. The performance is incredible until you get into a very heavily populated area with everything on extreme, heavy cloud cover, and running at 3840x1024 across three monitors.

 

Time to look into a GTX 670 or 680. My 6970 2gb is showing it's age. Anyone using a 670 with triple monitors care to comment on performance?

I agree on the objects. Looking nice although landclass really does need some work. The one thing that cripples my hi-end system is the clouds. I had some cumulous-broken at about 3500 ft, set at only 20% and when I pan upwards in the VC bringing the clouds more into view, the frames and smoothness just falls apart.

Is that with all VCs'?

If I understood Ben correctly (cloud-) performance depends a lot on using some "prefill" programming for the VC. I'm no developer but the prefill seems to force the clouds to be drawn only where you actually can see them from inside the VC. Without "prefill" the clouds are virtually drawn for the whole screen and this is much more costly.

Ben mentioned that there are still airplanes / authors that don't use prefill. I have clouds to 35% on my system and don't see much FPS-hit even with heavy realworldweather.

And...there is still that Moon problem, actually various Moon problems.... :-(

 

 

 

Ghost moon! LOL! Have you reported the bug? I hope they put it on priority list

Yes, long ago - it's a known one, and comes to play only when there is reduced visibility...

The false moon is a boundary effect where the "branes" of the FSX and the XPlane universe come into contact, forming a null energy interstitial zone where the lunar photonic configuration of the respective earth-moon systems is partially transposed into the opposite universe at the transitional fog boundary point.

 

Yup. We are being mooned.

Exactly! And when I finally figured it out... I ran away to DCS World... a much more sound one :-)

And much more heavily armed, if there is any sort of invasion........

 

Hope you are having fun!

Strings meet membranes, dimensionally speaking makes for nice bubbles!!

The p51 makes for some initial bumpy landings! I am good with the a10 and even the KA50 made me look like a pro compared to when I first tried to land that old warbird.
