Simulating Art vs Mega Scenery (Phoenix)

Featured Replies

Hi all, was wondering if anyone had both of these and what do you think is better. I'm going to take a guess and say that Simulating Art's Phoenix covers a larger area, because I have that one and it's big. Would like to know if maybe I should get the Mega Scenery version because they are so good as far as performance goes, and their night lighting is great.Thanks,Jeff

I don't own both and not quite sure why someone would. I am very happy with Art's package though and there are many special features that the other just doesn't have. I can tell you from flying into there in late July what I saw out the window in the jet looked pretty much exactly like what I see in the sim. Flying through downtown Phoenix in the helicoptor low level is pretty neat in Art's package too with working traffic lights, moving cars and all the corrected buildings.

I thought Art's package was nice, but I was concerned that it didn't seem correctly geo-positioned. I was wondering if that was fixed in version 2, but I thought the upgrade price was a little steep. Art was providing some help to the community in placing autogen, so I wanted to support him. I'm not sure the world needs another photoscenery of Phoenix (or anywhere else for that matter) but I suppose MegaScenery had access to the source data so decided to duplicate Art's effort.scott s..
