October 18, 20205 yr Hi guys, Anyone know if another KDCA is being made. The DD one does put very low res textures of the ground all around the DC area and that just sucks plain and simple (even the colors are not in sync with orbx global+openlc). I have even tried to disable some of the files but I can never get stand alone KDCA. I am just surprised that no one is really complained about this. Thanks Edited October 18, 20205 yr by Skywolf How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
October 18, 20205 yr Could you post a picture of the low res textures? I am running DD KDCA along with Washington X and I haven't noticed this. Thanks!

October 18, 20205 yr Author All the area around the airport. The ground textures are not sharp at all. I even asked them on their forums regarding it. Just look at the roads right past KDCA and the area around Pentagon. I actually have it uninstalled. The airport is great but even airport has low res grass textures, but I can live with that but surrounding area has low ground textures. But here are the screenies Edited October 18, 20205 yr by Skywolf How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
October 18, 20205 yr I actually thought I had an install error. Airport ground textures look bad. I asked and they said it’s correct and maybe an update sometime.

Last sentence is Yes you are the only one complaining there is no good satellite imagery in that area due to restrictions. Edited October 19, 20205 yr by jbdbow1970
October 19, 20205 yr I actually think you're seeing blurries for a reason that has nothing to do with DD scenery directly. Maybe DD is adding more high demand objects and textures, so cruising over the area in a fighter is taxing your system.

Maybe DD is adding more high demand objects and textures, so cruising over the area in a fighter is taxing your system. Nope, DD did say it is the textures. I just wish DD will allow a method to just disable all the external stuff except for the airport. Orbx Global+openLC will help. Even with disabling as many files as possible, things break. Personally, I just gave up on this product. Could have been legendary addon but it stays uninstalled on my end. I just want to disable the phot textures by itself - that alone doesn't solve the problems, by doing that something else breaks. The ground imagery doesn't even color match with orbx global/openlc sigh. That why I am requesting someone else to make a whole new KDCA Edited October 19, 20205 yr by Skywolf How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)

Not competing here but my system can handle heavy load pretty well - see this thread - it is the DD textures How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
October 19, 20205 yr The only other DCA I know of was produced by Tropicalsim. At the time of release it was a nice addon, but it was never made compatible with newer versions of the sim. But it does fit your bill: it includes only the airport, and I'm fairly sure that it will work at least in P3Dv4...

I will have to pass on that and I doubt it will be for P3Dv5 (and soon 5.1).
