Some more from Alaska

[manuthie 242]

Exploring Alaska in X-Plane.

 

While individual trees don't look great the effect of having loads of them really gives the impression of a dense forest.

Wow. Nice.

 

Btw what was a FPS number? 3?

Nope - not that bad actually. Can't tell exactly for those screenshots but I tried to find a similar scenario and the worst i got was around 12-13 fps but usually a few fps higher (depending on altitude and viewing direction of course)

Looks nice, that default scenery in X Plane?

 

For comparison, Tongass Fjord X addon in FSX I took recently. Click on image 2x to enlarge.

Deep,Rich Shots,X-Plane 10 gets better and better

More or less default. I used the HD Mesh which increases resolution of the underlying landclass data. In addition I used the experimental dense forest definition files from the same site. And dense it is indeed :lol:.

Nice screenshot there. Out of curiosity I tried to get as close as I could in X-Plane (bigger image here). Its a little to dark I think but its nice to see that the shape of the horizon is almost identical. It must be true then ^^.

No comparison hate to admit it lol x-plane way better.

That first shot looks too real.

 

What is your gamma setting?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I never get scenery like the pics above :( I never saw anything like these in my Tongass Fjord scenery :( It's so real - phenomenal.

 

I run FS9, FSX and X-plane (not all at once) on an i7 Ivybridge 4.2 GHz, 680GTX 4 MB, 1900x1200 27in widescreen. I think there's plenty of horsepower there - am running fps around 30. I use Nvidia Inspector.

 

Should I take up Photoshop? ^_^

Gamma setting is 2.2 (which is default I think).

I'm not sure if you are referring to VeryBumpy or to me but for my pics I have done no editing other than downscaling.

Both, I guess. So, the situation re. my sim is even worse than I thought :( I've just landed in heavy mist at LFQQ. It was a slide-show. Something is obviously not right - not for this thread.

 

Your screenshots are magnificent. Thanks for posting them.

Yup, that is what forests are made of - lots and lots of trees.

 

This is the first time I have seen a flightsim with a forest worthy of the name (except maybe Rise of Flight) - a real carpet of trees.

 

Even the road is lost in there!

Nice!
