[HUSSAR 258]

Nice shots Rich, one question: wouldn't this compliment FTX Global?

 

Have you got a link to their site?

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

"wouldn't this compliment FTX Global" Yes it would Rob you are correct Global is just textures - GEX replacement that's it some people think it does all of this other stuff which it does not you will buy small chunks of addons from ftx to enhance the experience. Hey how about a screenie out of CYPK be back

[1st fltsimguy 466]

Bryan pick a spot you want a shot of and I will do it for you

 

Thanks for the offer.

 

How about something in your backyard.

 

KOWD Norwood Muni...facing north over runway 35....about 1000', bearing 346 ish.

 

something like this:  I have my autogen set at very dense, scenery complexity at extremely dense.

 

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

CYPK -------This shot autogen normal

 

 

 

Norwood sure hold on

[Alan_A 1,650]

Looks impressive, though I have the same question as others re: how it'll play with FTX Global.

 

Another question - are their different tree textures for different seasons? Or is it summer only?

[molleh 451]

On a side note, Richard, I want to see more of your screenshots.  They are stunning

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

Norwood you can see Boston in the distance - autogen = normal

 

Global will not be a problem thats for sure global is just textures

 

Lets do a fall shot out of Norwood - hold on

 

Thanks Molleh

Are we all 100 percent sure that there won't be conflicts with FTX Global?

 

The original announcement (last December) was a bit qualified - John Venema posted that it would be "predominantly only textures" (emphasis mine). In other words, mostly, but not exclusively. Other people picked up on "only textures" and dropped the qualifier.

 

Recent screenshots have shown some custom autogen. I don't know if that will extend to trees - maybe not. But it'd be worth clarifying.

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

Honestly what are you guys waiting for this is wild no fps hit cant believe it - enjoy I am - I will admit they look a bit generic but boy they fill in and I would bet they can better the kinds of trees in time the hard part is done huge immersion with no hit - wow

 

I repeat it will not interfere with global no way no how 

 

[Alan_A 1,650]

Fall textures do look good - overall, these seem to be a lot better than FSX default.

[z06z33 763]

You can use TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=50, still going to have massive forests, this is Washington state  - normal autogen on sliders state like this has tons of trees no need to up autogen slider.

 

I have fsgenesis - utx - gex - You may want to really think about getting this impressive no menu just install it wow

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off topic but what are your SweetFX settings? your shots look amazing!!!

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

No brainer Al this is a game changer - I like Their light program (experience x) but this is really impressive as far as its purpose and fps

My sweet settings are:

 

 

 

 

 

/*-----------------------------------------------------------.

/ Choose effects /

'-----------------------------------------------------------*/

 

// Set to 1 for ON or 0 for OFF

#define USE_SMAA_ANTIALIASING 1 //[0 or 1] SMAA Anti-aliasing : Smoothens jagged lines.

#define USE_LUMASHARPEN 1 //[0 or 1] LumaSharpen : Also sharpens the antialiased edges which makes them less smooth - I'm working on fixing that.

#define USE_BLOOM 1 //[0 or 1] Bloom : Makes bright lights bleed their light into their surroundings (relatively high performance cost)

#define USE_HDR 0 //[0 or 1] HDR : Not actual HDR - It just tries to mimic an HDR look (relatively high performance cost)

#define USE_TECHNICOLOR 0 //[0 or 1] TECHNICOLOR : Attempts to mimic the look of an old movie using the Technicolor three-strip color process (Techicolor Process 4)

#define USE_DPX 1 //[0 or 1] Cineon DPX : Should make the image look like it's been converted to DXP Cineon - basically it's another movie-like look similar to technicolor.

#define USE_LIFTGAMMAGAIN 1 //[0 or 1] Lift Gamma Gain : Adjust brightness and color of shadows, midtones and highlights (avoids clipping)

#define USE_TONEMAP 1 //[0 or 1] Tonemap : Adjust gamma, exposure, saturation, bleach and defog. (may cause clipping)

#define USE_VIBRANCE 1 //[0 or 1] Vibrance : Intelligently saturates (or desaturates if you use negative values) the pixels depending on their original saturation.

#define USE_CURVES 1 //[0 or 1] Curves : Contrast adjustments using S-curves.

#define USE_SEPIA 0 //[0 or 1] Sepia : Sepia tones the image.

#define USE_VIGNETTE 0 //[0 or 1] Vignette : Darkens the edges of the image to make it look more like it was shot with a camera lens. May cause banding artifacts.

#define USE_DITHER 1 //[0 or 1] Dither : Applies dithering to simulate more colors than your monitor can display. This lessens banding artifacts (mostly caused by Vignette)

#define USE_SPLITSCREEN 0 //[0 or 1] Splitscreen : Enables the before-and-after splitscreen comparison mode.

I still don't see any comparison shots

[Richard Sennett 2,499]

you don't didn't you see the post of norwood by other poster and then mine ?

[1st fltsimguy 466]

I still don't see any comparison shots

 

I'm now matching up Rich's screenshot with another and also turning up my autogen to full. Bare with me.
