Snow & Ice in the Alps - photoreal Switzerland

Featured Replies

Hello,
it's winter time - while there are photoreal winter textures for FSX (Switzerland Professional X), the quality of the textures from Aerofly FS is much better

Always safe landings, Torsten

Always safe landings 😉 

Beautiful collection of pictures, Torsten!

(Can’t get enough of Swiss Alps...)

So, the last 4 images (where the color changes) are from AFS? Thanks for the post...!

Great ones. The detail maybe better in AFS but I like the FSX coloring better personally.

Exactly!

Excellent comparison. The AFS mountains look so much crisper. Can it be that AFS uses a better mesh?

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds

Better mesh? That's a good question.
I've never noticed a difference in mesh quality and I've made a lot of flights in switzerland in both sims.
So if you need a quick answer I would say no big difference - but I might be wrong.

If we take a look at the peak of Matterhorn / Monte Cervino then you are right. Beside this it's hard to find big differences in mesh?

But of course the ground textures from aerofly FS are much sharper and crisper.
It's really a lot of fun to have this quality in flight simulation :smile::smile::smile:

It will be very interesting to see if MSFS 2020 can beat this :wink:

Always safe landings 😉 

Superb pics, from both simulators. I know the Zermatt area from many former vacations; these pics bring back memories.
