February 10, 201412 yr Hi all Today the weather finally cleared up in Florida and I got to fly my plane from KZPH to x50 for some avionics upgrades, in preparation I did a sim-flight using the same route in XPX last night. I took some comparative pics along the way. I am using XPX, Sky Maxx Pro, Raleigh tweaks(no cloud shadows), G2XPL photoscenery, and an add-on Carenado plane. I wish the X-aviation Falco would get upgraded to 64 bit since it closely replicates the plane I fly IRL. Departing KZPH northbound, someone was nice enough to populate the aiport. Settling into Cruise NE bound The far outskirts of the Orlando Metro area Just a nice pic of the sky(and ground) Nice view from the cockpit Descending into Massey Ranch Final approach, the airport and the photoscenery don't really match: This is what I have always wanted from a sim, just a good representation of the ground and sky I fly around in. The Raleigh tweaks really make the horizon look close to the real thing. Thanks for looking.
February 10, 201412 yr Is this the latest 1.3 version of skymaxx? if so the skies and clouds are starting to look a little better. I'm still holding off until I can get some Rex quality skies/clouds in XPX. Other than that, nice shots. May I ask where you got your photoscenery from and do you use any from simheaven and the hd mesh v2 at all?

February 10, 201412 yr Amazing photos! X-Plane Scenery in Prepar3d V2 Atmosphere, it would be difficult to distinguish a real photo from Sim. X-Plane has a strange relationship of bright and dark of terrain and sky that gives it away in my opinion. But I have seen some great improvement in this forum from users modifying some internal variables! Alexis Mefano

February 10, 201412 yr Author Thanks Everyone! @ Captain 420: Yes it is SMP 1.3. I made the photoscenry myself with G2XPL it is 17 or 18 LOD depending on the location. I use the HD mesh for California, where I also have alot of photoscenery made, but not in Florida(is it even available) Florida is too flat to benefit from an HD mesh. I don't use the sim heaven stuff too much since I prefer to make my own scenery for all the places I fly. -------- The thing that kind of struck me as I was flying was that regular FS or XPX scenery (textures, landclass, autogen, road vectors, etc...) would also have done a pretty good job of recreating the terrain I was seeing.
