You appear to have a LOD issue or haven't allowed P3D to catch up with rendering the aerial imagery before taking the screen shot.

If you zoom in on your MSFS pic, the imagery looks smudged / blurry and a lot worse than in your P3D pic. Clearly the MSFS LOD issue at altitude is causing the problem, as the Bing photo imagery is generally better than TE.

Thanks, you saved me a few saw-bucks...:)

I don't think either photo shows the respective sims in a good light.

I could be wrong but I thought they are working on a KPBI (Palm Beach) also.  But no more TE's

It's the last US TrueEarth.

From Orbx's Facebook:

The final addition in our range of TrueEarth US regions for P3D is coming soon to OrbxDirect, completing the west coast USA.


The writing is on the wall though. The market for photoscenery for VFR flying has collapsed as MSFS generally does it better and for 'free' (no additional ortho product purchases required).

Sad thing is true earth is also good for ifr flying and msfs isn’t. Can’t wait for some suitable airliners

This could mean that it's the last US TE addon. Maybe now they continue with Europe?

So you compare a jet flying at what speed over scenery with a GA aircraft, let see how MSFS handles a jet at 700kias over the scenery can your GPU handle it.

P3D simulation is paused. Aircraft is suspended in mid air but terrain and graphics Still gets loaded.

So, I guess that we will never see TrueEarth Ireland for P3D? Well, unless the world of MSFS comes crashing down again :dry:

Sorry, if THAT is what the product looks like....buildings that seem to be nothing more than smear paste...wow...glad I didn't jump on this...talk about low res source material for ground textures (Ortho).  FS98....I'm looking for the green triangle mountains....geez.

 

I managed to fix that problem - it was due to another photo scenery suppressing the autogen.

It's definitely nowhere near the level of quality in MSFS but it's still much better than default and the region SoCal. 

I think it's worth the price if intending to fly proper airliners around SoCal in P3D until MSFS becomes the standard for that.

My sentiment exactly. I find that TE North/South were the most 'interesting' TrueEarth regions for me. I wanted to compare both MSFS and P3D/TE at FL320. Both platforms have some sort of LOD issues. But texture are crisper in P3D directly around the aircraft position. P3d will still be my primary platform for at least a year.

Hi, may i ask if we have a performance comparing FTXSCA with TE ?

I only use FTXSCA with MaddogX and MCE with PMDG/FSL

Thanks
