Revisited - Monument Valley and Grand Canyon remarks

Featured Replies

Here is a follow up Monument Valley scenery shot I found when cleaning out images. Looking out the windshield, over the right yoke, you see the smoother more rounded textures in the MSFS default scenery.  Looking out the right door window you see the addon scenery created by creator jeppensen2001. Much sharper and more highly detailed.  A real treat.  Hope jeppesen2001 moves west to the Grand Canyon. 

The default Grand Canyon (second shot below) is spectacular compared to sceneries in previous simulators, but suffers from too much smoothing.  It would be a major task.  I had no idea until yesterday flying it that it extends so far.  I have visited the canyon at the primary park location, but was not aware of its incredible length.  Just look at a sectional chart and gauge the distance from KGCN, Grand Canyon, to KGCW, Grand Canyon West.

Below is an image of the MSFS default scenery of the primary national park village at the Grand Canyon.

Agree, Frank, the jeppensen2001's version has made a big difference...in tone and textures...

Yes, me too, one visit to the Primary Location Area only, recall the visitor center well...but, these altitude (window) views, here, look very nice...!
