Belfast City airport  EGAC

Same 6500' altitude and without SweetFx.

 

I was looking at the Earth Simulations website and agree that Northern Ireland does not appear to be part of the United Kingdom plan. I would love to see Ireland done by Earth Simulations!

 

Comparing Horizon and MSE without SweetFx will make Horizon a bit duller than was shown on my first post.  As I have previously stated, all of these options are only good for the hobby. I look at the various types of scenery as one would look at art -- some will love a particular piece of artwork and others  will see it quite differently.  Neither one is right or wrong - beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 

Thanks for all the comments.

Well, now that is a surprise. Horizon never seemed to be able to get a license for Northern Ireland photoscenery, and everyone else that I have spoken to about it seems to have indicated that it was currently unobtainable. I wonder who the MSE guys had to sleep with to pull that one off? And yes......pun very much intended :smile:

Thank you for that Belfast screenshot, helps in deciding on this to buy! Might wait for sale sometime, still use Orbx for North and Horizon for the South. Horizon looked like they would make volume 11 Northern Ireland but think company has disappeared or have paused business. Website shows 'to be confirmed' on Playsims Publishing for last year or two.

I will admit that I was a bit surprised to see the entirety of Ireland as all I've seen in the past was either/or. Something must have changed.

 

I also think that Horizon may be out of the business as there is never anything new from them. Too bad as competition is good - gives us more and better choices.

Bought it. Finally have the 19th .zip downloaded, now I see it for 50% off! Drat! Ah well, I don't mind Now for the equally tedious installation of my first photoscenery add-on  Excited faces please!

That's UP TO 50% off.

That's UP TO 50% off.

 

 

 50% off all MegaSceneryEarth titles. Other boxed or download products discounted as listed but indeed 50% off MegaSceneryEarth.

Karma or something on that sale!

50% off MSE and indeed if you wait till Tuesday you will get another 10% off on top of the 50% off be careful not to miss the deadline though:-)

Downloading as of now, just going to take some time. 

Wow so if its 50% off does that mean the posted $30 for Ireland is actually going to be only $15 or is the $30 already half price?

Yes, it is only $15.00 during this sale. I just may have to see what else to look at. It's funny - I have been waiting a couple of weeks to get a coupon from MegaSceneryEarth for 40% off and I was going to get it on a Tuesday to get the 10% also but got impatient and bought it Tuesday anyway. 10% is better than nothing off.

Finally got it installed into P3D 2.3, quite easily actually. For my first flight I departed Dublin and followed the M6 to Galway, out over Connemara. Made a left turn south past the Aran islands and cliffs of Moher. Down past the Shannon estuary and through Kerry, then made another left towards Cork. Here's some of the shots

 

I can see my house from here!

 

I've climbed three of these  ^_^

 

Authentic gorse fire near Carraroe  :blink:

 

Can you guess where this is? Coz I don't know  :huh: 

 

Killarney. I can see my favourite hotel and golf course!

 

Cork city. Sorry, the scenery hadn't fully loaded in this shot 

Finally loaded the program and looks great until you fly over Belfast and scenery has default over harbor and around city edges. Also water switches to default vs photographic. Haven't shown a screen shot since i haven't learnt to do that. Wonder if anyone else has same problem? Thanks
