August 17, 20214 yr as an MSFS newbie, are their any payware or freeware airports that people recommend checking out? 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
August 17, 20214 yr Well, sceptical here, why they do not provide comparison screenshots? Already for their NZ mesh they were missing until it was req ested several times... But of course, if the mesh is as good as the NZ one, it is for sure worth it. Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024

August 17, 20214 yr Haven’t bought any their other mesh yet but this one certainly has my attention!

August 17, 20214 yr Looks fantastic. Definitely a big improvement. The only downer is that there‘s quite a few larger areas with poor imagery. At least last time I checked. i9-11900K, RTX 4090, 32 GB ram, Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo, TCA Airbus sidestick and quadrant, Reverb G2

At least last time I checked. Indeed. The mesh will be an instant purchase for me, but the vast areas of terrible ground imagery are still a major issue for Alaska. It was always my favorite area to fly in other sims, but i hardly fly there in MFS as it's about as visually appealing as large parts of Asia due to horrible ground textures. I've compared Bing maps to Google in lots of Alaska and Bing really need to get their act together! (that goes for the whole planet really... Googles imagery is way ahead. It's no surprise that absolutely no one uses Bing maps over Google)
August 17, 20214 yr Alaska, strangely enough, is the poor relative in the MFS family at all levels. The native mesh is not really good, very FS9ish, where I tried it. So the OrbX product is very welcome. Hoping also for better imagery. I tried once the bush trip out of Kodiak and gave up after half an hour. The OrbX landclass product plus a mesh were, I am afraid to say, better. And the snow in summer in Haines...

August 17, 20214 yr Unfortunately I don't really see the use of an improved Alaska mesh for me as long as the imagery for Alaska is as poor as it is right now. Which is a shame. Edited August 17, 20214 yr by RALF9636
