June 15, 20223 yr As Valdez, developed by Gaya Simulations, is now part of this latest package and I still remember fondly the old ORBX version for FSX/P3D, it was obvious for me to have a look here first. Departing from Valdez, I did a short flight with default MSFS, then I shut MSFS down, activated the MSFS2020 Map Enhancement tool (v5.0.7) and did the same flight with google maps activated (from the options available, I chose “mt.google.com”). I also had “High LOD” ticked and on top I have used for both flights the ORBX Alaska mesh. My apologies that the second flight did not follow exactly the same path as the first one, but I hope that the following shots are close enough to give you a first impression. With this I don’t want to degrade any of the wonderful work, MS/Asobo offers us, I just want to show you some of the differences that I see on my pc. It may be different in other parts of the US, even in other parts of Alaska! In the shots you see here, the top part of each picture shows MSFS default after the latest upgrade, and, as I already said, with ORBX mesh activated. The bottom part shows Google maps activated, again with ORBX. Have fun!

June 15, 20223 yr Interesting comparisons. Thanks for sharing them. I've never been to Alaska thus I don't know what "reality" looks like there but to me, the Google/Orbx images look more realistic than the Bing/Orbx images. But not enough to prompt me to make the effort to switch (because I'm inherently lazy).
