September 29, 201411 yr So, some users on the Avsim's Outerra forum have asked me to share some of these pictures here. You may already know Outerra, the planetary engine wich raise a lot of expectations for some people and infuriate others. Few month ago I've started to work casually on a small scenery of Talkeetna (Alaska), using the current limited yet efficient tools we have, and the buildings imported or created by the community. These are only a few selected cool shots, I don't want to kill people brandwith, but I have added to the end of the post links to full albums for those who wants to see more of it :smile: You may notice the missing rivers : Outerra does not support them yet, they will probably be added in the next update of the roads/vector editor. (Pictures are 1080p, make me know if it's too high, I will reupload them in lower resolution) Albums: A morning tour around Talkeetna 0.4 version Some shots from the 0.4 version Pictures of the WIP 0.5 version (mostly south Talkeetna area) And finally, last but not least: Link to the scenery thread (download included)
September 29, 201411 yr Which minimum specs are needed to obtain a good smoothness with this engine? Btw incredibile shots Riccardo OS: Windows 10-64 bit, CPU: i7-7700K @4.20 GHz, GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 8GB GDDR5, RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 32GB 3000MHz, MB: MSI Z270
September 29, 201411 yr Author Which minimum specs are needed to obtain a good smoothness with this engine? I get around 30-60fps with medium settings (difference with high is hard to notice), no vsync, at 1920*1980. Shadows and AO on low. I have a intel I3 (3.40GHz), an AMD Radeon R9 200 (2048mo of Vram) and 4 Go of ram. Not exactly a high spec computer. I get these perfs on the scene, framerate can be around 70/80 on non-urban area and reaching 100/110 fps from space. Btw incredibile shots Breathtaking shots! :o Thanks !
September 29, 201411 yr Outstanding shots! Hope the developers create more tools and develop it further for flight simulation by adding an advanced weather system and cityscapes. Outerrra is clearly the best looking engine on the market. Will be interesting to see how far they take it.

September 30, 201411 yr Amazing! I've never seen actual buildings and scenery in Outerra before. I bought the tech demo long ago but even though it runs very smooth and looks amazing, I got bored flying over the generic, auto-generated forests with no actual points of interest. -
September 30, 201411 yr Wow! Is there more like this? I know it is probably years off, but look at the lighting? The mesh. Imagine that being a simulator with aircraft addons we have now? Imagine flight dynamics being introduced! William Sequeira

September 30, 201411 yr Commercial Member That's pretty darn impressive! Thanks for sharing those shots! Jim Stewart Milviz Person.
September 30, 201411 yr Very nice indeed! I saw that '57 Chevy... any more pics of that. The interior shot looks fantastic!!!
September 30, 201411 yr Smashing shots Acetone! And i especially like the 2nd one with the A380 and that wide, wide view! WOW! Thank You very much for sharing! Outerra is really loking very, very good - and getting better and better! :smile: Enjoy flying and happy landings.
September 30, 201411 yr Author Thanks everyone ! Amazing! I've never seen actual buildings and scenery in Outerra before. I bought the tech demo long ago but even though it runs very smooth and looks amazing, I got bored flying over the generic, auto-generated forests with no actual points of interest. It's mostly why I have started to work on this scene and because without human made landmarks it was really difficult to get a good perception of distances. It's also necessary to note that it's not a one guy work, without the great work of those who have imported/made the buildings models, the scene would look a bit empty. Hell, Levi is porting the whole World2Xplane library, almost 1700 models already done :o Wow! Is there more like this? I know it is probably years off, but look at the lighting? The mesh. Imagine that being a simulator with aircraft addons we have now? Imagine flight dynamics being introduced! I will post a few other one later And about the FDM, Outerra already use JBSIM for aircrafts. There are no systems yet (but some users manage to make advanced things on ground vehicules, check Python Pago's Ural) and clearly a lack of sounds. I'm not exactly a FDM specialist but according some users, the flight model is pretty good but most existing aircraft will require a lot of tweaking in order to get a proper accurate feeling. Very nice indeed! I saw that '57 Chevy... any more pics of that. The interior shot looks fantastic!!! Chrome materials and cubemap reflexions give a great result ! I will post a few other pics of that car later :smile:
September 30, 201411 yr Author Ok, few more shots. It shows the evolution of the engine using shots from the same location. For reference, his old pictures are from a buid released in february 2014. I made a small album of the Chevy for TuFun Talkeetna airport from a house : Can you spot Orion? A380 (Project Airbus, ported by Levi) Foggy day: Sunset and Mig:
