Is London Landmarks worth it at this point?

IMO, it depends on your internet speed. Despite a fibre broadband connection, I get the 'melted buildings' look with PG on.
Also, some buildings fail to appear, e.g. the egg-shaped former City Hall (beneath the horizontal stabiliser in the second set of comparison pics) and The Tower Hotel, opposite the Tower of London (bottom right corner).

Orbx also gets some other details represented correctly which PG doesn't, e.g.
The Emirates Air Line cable car on rwy 09 short final into EGLC and HMS Belfast (again beneath the horizontal stabiliser in the second set of comparison pics).

As a Londoner, I prefer Orbx's representation, though I can admit that PG has a better/more native texture pallette for London.

I might finally get True Earth FLA. Be nice to be there virtually in Winter later. Live I PA. Terrible for GA flying under Live weather in Winter.
