June 21, 201312 yr I've been wanting to write this post for a while now and here goes: I really just want one thing from X-plane at this time: one area of the world, it doesn't have to be huge, with the same level of detail as an Orbx region. I want landmarks, airports, seasonal changes, the whole she-bang. I want to be able to immerse myself in a corner of the world that looks real. I don't care if it is Egypt, Australia or PNW, it just has to be real. To feel reel... X-plane is my favorite sim. It does so many things right and there is a lot of nice payware planes, but we need that one piece of scenery to rock the X-world. PS. Alpilotx's New Zealand scenery is very nice, but it lacks landmarks and airports. Developers: consider yourself encouraged :-)

June 21, 201312 yr Author These come close: http://store01.prostores.com/servlet/x-planestore/Categories?category=Scenery%3ATom+Curtis+Original+Scenery I got those and the answer is: absolutely not.
June 21, 201312 yr And, have tyou tried the TrueScenery offers? With OSM + Autogem + Ortho and Mesh I believe we an easily outperform FSX with the products you mention, plus the fact that terrain around you will very plausiby influence some weather parameters in a way that is simply not possible to get so close to real in FSX... I know this is not the kind of stuff most look after, but for me I have even forget about the absence of seasonal textures in favor of the physic effects of landing / taking off from a contaminated RW... Eye candy will increase with time, and much more 3pds will join this looong travel to the future! (must have been the red wine at lunch...)

June 21, 201312 yr I think JComm's suggestion is dead on, get the Findland OSM and photoscenery available at the truscenery website and then buy one or 3 of their airports and you have your flying environment. I have a ton of Orbx stuff, and I think this is pretty comparable.
June 22, 201312 yr Agreed: airports, even with the current scenery add-ons, are still hideous.

June 22, 201312 yr TrueScenery is abhorrent to you??? No no no. Just riding JonRD's irony coat tails:) i910900k, RTX 3090, 32GB DDR4 RAM, AW3423DW, Ruddy girt big mug of Yorkshire Tea
June 22, 201312 yr No no no. Just riding JonRD's irony coat tails:) Oh, did not get that. Looks like I go with sarcasm as good as Sheldon does...- Jan Betlach
June 23, 201312 yr :biggrin: I'm just having a little fun with the ol' ubiquitous internet hyperbole. I've seen some bad sceneries before, but I usually reserve words like "hideous" for stuff like... oh, I dunno... Linda Blair in The Exorcist.
