July 18, 20187 yr Overnight I have been building Wyoming photoreal scenery with FSEarthtiles, which borders the Colorado scenery I have here in Avsim's file library. I am using a high compression ratio to keep the textures crisp while flying, and I love the preliminary results, with about half of Wyoming done. Given P3D's wonderful mesh I could not be happier with the results so far. Love the way P3DV4's cloud shadows play on the scenery, a feature I think the program excels at compared to those sims that have them, and especially the MSFS series which did not.

July 18, 20187 yr Beautiful shots of Jackson Hole! Intel i-9 13900KF @ 6.0 Ghz, MSI RTX 4090 Suprim Liquid X 24GB, MSI MAG CORELIQUID C360, MSI Z790 A-PRO WIFI, MSI MPG A1000G 1000W, G.SKILL 48Gb@76000 MHz DDR5, MSI SPATIUM M480 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2TB, Windows 11 Pro Ghost Spectre x64 “We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the day and night to visit violence on those who would do us harm”.
July 19, 20187 yr I have been seeing/flying a lot of MSE lately, and I have to say the mountain textures on your shots look fantastic especially because I think you are not at that high an altitude. What altitude you have for these pictures? Of course being able to create this by yourself must be very satisfying!

What altitude you have for these pictures? Of course being able to create this by yourself must be very satisfying! I am using level 2 for my accuracy, whatever level 2 means. Going lower than that, to 1, takes up too much bandwidth and disk space. I agressively compressed these textures because I wanted to accept the tradeoff between color separation and disk space, and I am very pleased with the results. FSE is a great interface, but I had to buy MSE for the coastal states (except Oregon, which I partially rendered), because I just do not know how to do coastlines, having tried every tutorial and having come up with lousy results. If I am up to it I might add Wyoming to the library here as an addition to my Colorado scenery already present. It is just a chore to zip everything up into a package, since Avsim has size limitations on the projects we add to its Library. John
July 19, 20187 yr I agree completely, cloud shadows add some much depth and subtle beauty to the scenery! Sascha Rieger | EVO Developer What is EVO • How to get Evo 2016 • FS9 Evolution Forum
