October 26, 200520 yr OK I've seen the real photos on the postings you have linked to but where is the scenery? Surely noone is that good ;-) Andrew BrownRoaring Thirtieshttp://www.gordiusfs.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/
October 26, 200520 yr >Forty bucks for one single airport scenery? Not exactly. Their sceneries are NOT single airport sceneries.

October 26, 200520 yr HOLY CRAP!! I cannot wait for this one! The Rhode Island scenery is how all of FS should look! bring it on!!Regards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/mcdcvabanner.jpgCalVirAir International Best, Michael KDFW
October 27, 200520 yr I wonder what the frame rates are like? That always scares me about buying one of the airport sceneries that has everything....
October 27, 200520 yr If their other scenery (LFRD, Rhode Island, etc) is anything from which to judge, the impact will be minimal. On my rig I get only slight reductions with Rhode Island scenery and none at all at Dinard/St Malo. One of the developers said Portland maybe even a little better than the default frame rate, with the only impact being the AI!Cheers,N. 11th Gen i9-11900K @ 3.5GHz | nVidia GeForce RTX 3080 | Corsair 64 GB RAM | Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB | Asus 27" RoG G-Sync Track IR5 | Thrustmaster Warthog | CH Products Pedals
October 27, 200520 yr Rhode Island is 3 airport so detailed... I like their ground textures. Its simply fanstastic. Its very frame friendly. Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
October 27, 200520 yr I'm with you Michael, I saw some screenshots of this a few weeks ago and added their site to my favorites list just to keep an eye on them. Can't wait for it's release cause I haven't seen scenery this good and best of all it's the area I do most of my real life flying.

October 27, 200520 yr That is what excites me the most, all that detail and still flyable. I am amazed everytime I fly out of PVD just because it is that fluid. I do alot of virtual flying out of Portland Troutsdale down into the gorge with Holgers scenery and with this addon, it will make it that much more realistic! IMO this is the perfect blend of photoreal and normal FS design blended together.I do a lot of 3D design and I am also amazed at the texturing, very realistc and quite detailed.Regards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/mcdcvabanner.jpgCalVirAir International Best, Michael KDFW
October 27, 200520 yr They make excellent sceneries indeed. I love FZ01 and I am looking forward to getting FZ02.Very clean and precise sceneries with the best textures ever made.Flight Corse is also fantastic - PC Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D // Asus ROG Crosshair X870E HERO // 2x32Gb Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 // ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition // 4Tb Corsair NVMe M.2 MP600 // Corsair 1600W PSU Samsung Odyssey Arc 55" curved 165 Hz monitor. - Simulator Hardware: VIRPIL Constellation Alpha Prime + VIRPIL VPC Universal Control Panel - #3 + MOZA AY210 Force Feedback Yoke + WINWING URSA MINOR 32 Throttle & PAC Metal + WINWING SKYWALKER Metal Rudder Pedals + WINWING Airbus FCU & EFIS + WINWING Boeing 3N PAP + WINWING MCDU-32 + WINWING PFP-4 + WINWING PFP 3-N + WINWING PFP-7.
October 27, 200520 yr *Im sold!*I've taken lately to focusing on fewer airplanes and more scenery. Im a devoted georender fan, and finding people with similar quality is outstanding. I will watch this closely, assuming they dont charge 50 bucks or some other high number (or pricing in Euros)Eric AND
October 27, 200520 yr Rhode Island screenshots looked great, but I hardly ever fly there. I do most of my flying in the Pacific Northwest. After seeing this Portland scenery, now I know I have to get this! Thanks for making me spend more money!
October 27, 200520 yr haha me too!thanks a lot!!I don't fly on the east coast much because I have little time and am not familiar with the area. Flying on the west coast I'm dying to pick up more scenery like this.Looking forward to the next release, and hopefully another scenery groups comes out with more airpots.KEA, KPDX, KSFO, KSAN, all great airports with high quality not tough on frame rates scenery. Now we just need KONT, KLAX, KSJC, KOAK, KSMF, etc.
October 27, 200520 yr >> Rhode Island is 3 airport so detailed... Actually, it has 5 airports...KPVD - TF Green KOQU - Quonset StateKSFZ - North Central StateKBID - Block Island State (not quite as detailed)RI20 - Mystery Farm (which is really just a clearing on an island, not detailed)Either way - it's a fantastic addon. While it is certainly appealing to anyone who lives in or frequents the area, the quality and caliber of the addon - both in detail AND in the lack of framerate hits - is something that all flightsimmers should witness.She may be an expensive addon for the square miles of scenery you get, but those square miles are pure gold! -Greg
