MSE 2 Swiss first impression

Featured Replies

i also have MSE 2 New Hampshire and between the two, i find the NH scenery to be significantly better.  The Swiss looks great if you are looking out about 10-20 miles.....but undeneath the plane is quite blurry. Not so with the NH scenery.   I was flying at about 11,000 ft on both planes.  Am using the recommended slider positions.  On the Swiss i went from Sion to the lake and thenall the way around the shore of the lake.  On the NH i was in the northern hills and mountains.  So..... i find the NH to be more immersive for me.

 

Maybe the source data for NH is better?  Will continue to explore the Swiss scenery some more tonight.

  • Wow, they really need to run their source thru photoshop before hitting the resample exe   Here it is after a very quick color correction  

Oh my... and you actually have to pay for that on the right...?!?

Nicely done! The problem is that there are many slight variations, and some larger ones in the source imagery depending on the location, so if you ran that same correction over the entire source image, it would make the better imagery (color-wise) look really bad. Hence, you would need to color-correct small segments individually at a time, then draw out borders (which wouldn't be nice and straight) between adjoining sections, and then o go back and adjust all your settings again for the next section to make it look better in itself, but then also to match it up with previously color-corrected parts. Over the size of an entire country, this could be a pretty major task!

 

But, I will pass this thread onto the developer to take a look anyway :)

New Hampshire is definitely one of the best and most consistent states in the MSE 2.0 range, no doubt. The source imagery we got for that state was obviously almost all take on the same day (or group of days with similar weather), probably by the same aircraft and camera, by the same company. Because NH is relatively small compared to other states and countries, it makes this possible and practical.

Now, the good thing about it is, PCAviator didn't run their screenshots through Photoshop ...

 

If you compare my pic above to the advertising pictures at pcaviator.com (the 'urban' ones) you realize that what you see (store) is what you get (my rig).

We don't alter any screenshots at all (except for physical size and to add captions etc). There are no colour corrections, so it is indeed a case of WYSIWYG. All the actual screenshots come straight from the "V" key in FSX.

Im not getting that washed out blueish scenery above at all.  My Swiss MSE 2 looks quite similar to the photoshop example shown above.  Not identical....but close.

 

YMMV

Hi there,

 

This actually looks like default scenery! This is not MSE Switzerland photoreal. Please check the MSE Switzerland scenery is enabled as you are flying over default FSX scenery in the images above. Just a heads up!

Now that is more like it. Looks like you have your settings tuned very well for MSE too!

Thanks for sharing the pics.
