July 1, 201312 yr Are these 2 competing products or is one completely different? MSE looks pretty interesting but it is really expensive! I wonder if FTX Global can replace this? If so I'll hold out for that instead. ASUS ROG Maximus Hero XII ▪︎ Intel i9-10900K ▪︎ NVIDIA RTX 3090 FE ▪︎ 64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro ▪︎ Windows 10 Pro (21H1) ▪︎ Samsung 970 EVO Pro 1TB NVME SSD (OS Drive) ▪︎ Samsung 860 EVO 2TB SATA SSD ▪︎ Seagate 4TB SATA HDD ▪︎ Corsair RMx 850W PSU
July 2, 201312 yr Completely different. MSE is photoreal textures (and no autogen etc.) and FTXG is landclass scenery (with autogen etc.). MSE looks like the real thing (but utterly FLAT and as it was when the pictures were taken) and you need to do well at Vegas in order to buy everything there is and still it will only cover a small part of the earth. And you need a few hard discs to store it all. FTXG looks generic (you won't find your house in the scenery but the overall feel is kinda like it is in real life... kinda...) but it's cheap (compared to MSE) and you get the entire world and it only costs a few Gb of hard disc space.
July 2, 201312 yr FTX Global is also supposed to be released this Thursday IIRC, I would wait for some first impressions from FTXG before jumping into MSE. First impressions should come rather quick, people are excited about this. Tom "I just wanna tell you both: good luck. We're all counting on you."
July 29, 201312 yr MSE it very good above 1500-2000 agl, some won't like it but flying Minnesota and Iowa can make out corn fields, wiindmills, grain elevators, malls, golf courses, farm silos,. It does give the illusions, trees, houses popping out.
July 29, 201312 yr As others have noted - completely different things. Also keep in mind that "Global" is only one piece of the puzzle that makes up landclass scenery. The arguments for photo vs landclass are well-trod ground - to know how you feel you really need to try for yourself. One easy way to find out of you'd like MSE products and photo in general is to try Blue Sky. Blue Sky is donationware, so there's no cost to try, and covers selective areas of the US West and SW. The SW is where photo scenery really shines, in my opinion, so I'd recommend some of their Nevada, AZ, UT or SoCal tiles. The quality in most of these areas is very high. http://www.blueskyscenery.com Scott
