Any reviews from RealWorldScenery customers ?

Recommended Posts

The only thing that really annoys me about their products is that while decompressing the bgls is done at high speed when it gets to decompressing the .agn files it takes forever. An example I bought Greece Photoreal North and South and it took nearly one hour to decompress the .agn files and that is on one of the 6 compressed files that make up the scenery. Does anyone know if removing the agn files affects the actual photoreal bgl files?

regards

That's because there are probably hundreds of these small-sized agn files, and is simple limitation of well... computers in general. You will always find that working with huge amount sof tiny files (copying, pasting, decompressing etc) will always take seemingly more time than working with few big files. However, this has absolutely no effect on the performance of the sim, insofar as the amount of autogen objects defined in those files can be handled by your computer while flying, of course. So, RWS cannot do anything about this...
