60 cm scenery is what we should be striving for.

After finishing Switzerland in 60 cm, ( http://forum.avsim.net/topic/426287-now-this-is-switzerland <---- link to my Swiss project), I'm starting on the area around Bozeman, Montana.  I should be uploading this scenery for general consumption.  If you have ORBX Bozeman, the two can work together perfectly, and using real photoscenery under Orbx airports look much better IMHO.  (By copying certain files from the Orbx airport folders to your photoscenery folder youi can combine the two). 

 

The above photo is just a comparison of 1 meter versus 60cm.  If you like flying 100-200 feet off the turf you can plainly see the advantage of better resolution.

 

On top of this, there is this thing called Nuvecta Treeline.  I purchased the package for Utah and must say, it looks good with 1 meter resolution, but even better with 60 cm scenery.  The thing with adding trees over photoscenery isn't necessarily the trees, but the fact that most photoscenery isn't up to par (60cm at least) with the detailed trees, so things look odd, they don't gel well together.

 

Earth Simulations with their latest 60cm (and 30cm) scenery Northwest Scotland have proven that trees look fabulous over photoscenery is the ground is detailed enough.

 

This is Nuvecta trees over MSE2 Ultra Res Salt Lake City:

The issue here is the trees, the color, doesn't match the ground.  So they stand out.  Still it adds so much to the experience of flying low, it really is a great little addition.

 

So anyway, this little project of mine won't take too long I hope.
