Mountain textures, even within the best Orbx regions just look terrible from a short distance. If mountain rock looks like mountain rock with the sharp peaks they should have instead of the rounded shape they normally project, that'll be a winner.
March 27, 20188 yr Moderator Well, you ain't going to find any mountains in the Netherlands, that's for sure ;-)

I know of some folk who have NASA server-farms in their basement to store the US at 30cm per pixel (@sesquashtoo, I'm looking at you ;)) I just bought a 6Tb 7200rpm drive for £140....should give me enough storage space for a few releases ;) Kevin Firth - AMD 9800X3D; Asus Prime X670E; 64Gb Cas30 6000 DDR5; RTX5090; AutoFPS
March 27, 20188 yr For me is a problem. I have external SSD, and those drives are very expensive to have good ammount of storage. Mine is 1TB and have 20gb left of space, and I don't want to go to a HDD that is totally slower than a SSD. So I will pass in all this True Earth packages, unless there is an option to install textures the old way. Javier Rollon. Owner of JRollon Planes for Xplane

March 27, 20188 yr The p3d issue with blurry distant photoscenery needs fixing first, otherwise this will look a mess. aerofly2 and xp should be good though. Glenn Ryzen 3700X, X570 Pro Wifi, 32GB 3600mhz RAM, Nvidia Titan Xp "Galactic Empire", RM750x PSU, H700 case, 2x NVMe M2 SSD, 1x SATA SSD
March 27, 20188 yr I 100% agree that something needs to be done to improve the quality of the distant textures. Right now distant mountains at Valdez are a blurry mess. These are things that we often overlook because we are excited about a new release. It's safe to say P3D v4 still has a way to go. This new approach should look great in XP 11. MSFS

JV stated they were only looking at 1.2m/pp imagery so factor in 5 seasons + night and a decent estimate should be possible for any given landmass? JV also said they'd look at higher resolutions as future software/hardware (particularly GPUs) made it possible performance and data wise. A good rule I think would be as much as possible?

That is nice but as far as I can recall developers can actually know how much space their software uses on disk. I don't think it is too much to ask how many GB or TB this add-on requires. I guess I will ask them face to face in Vegas when I see them during the flying sim expo. S. Oficial Website: https://www.FSReborn.com Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/XC82TqvKQ3

We have the 'Vaalserberg' (berg=mountain) and it is the highest mountain in the Netherlands.

I don't think it is too much to ask how many GB or TB this add-on requires. They simply don't know this yet because the addon hasn't been completed yet. Once they know the size, they will tell us. I think it's wise of them to not post wild or educated guesses. What is known already though is that the Netherlands will require GB's, no TB's. The country is quite small. I doubt it will take up something like 125 to 150 GB. (Yes, that's a wild guess based on posts I've read on the Orbx forum.)
