December 22, 20223 yr It looks like those running the Google Mod, there is an option to buy the Pro version for $30 a year and that gets better resolutions apparently. For those that have done it, do you like it and how long did it take to get the license ? I decided to give it a try but never got the license. Thanks!

March 22, 20233 yr My experience with the vanilla services is that where it’s good, it’s very good, but there are a heck of a lot of areas where it’s not good or even awful, a mess of dramatically differing resolutions, seasons / colours, Google watermarks, and clouds. I mostly rely on default now. Despite its problems, it is at least broadly consistent within a particular area. i910900k, RTX 3090, 32GB DDR4 RAM, AW3423DW, Ruddy girt big mug of Yorkshire Tea
August 17, 20241 yr I have been watching "Island Sim Pilot" for quite some time and this is how I discovered this add-on. It is a must!. I have been CONSIDERING the paid version as money is not the issue, but it seems that I cannot find anyone who says it's worth it?. There is a MAJOR problem with "Bing Latest Version" in pretty much the whole midwest US at least from Illinois,Iowa, Minnesota. If you have the free version, go to KCTK, Canton Illinois. It's just about where to the west is a dark green and to the east is a tan.When you choose the airport pan out a little and the difference is black and white. I tried "Google Map" and the color is VERY consistent. I would give my color settings, but with so much difference in setups??? If it helps, Red -10 Green -9 Blue -6 Brightness -10 Contrast 0 Saturation 12, thats plus 12. WOW!! the first time I got it dialed in it was like a whole new simulator. I have used the "Bing Latest Version" in other areas and it worked fine. I would be GLAD to pay $60 for a year...IF...IF ...someone boasted on it. I STILL do NOT throw away money. I did that ALOT in FSX.
August 18, 20241 yr Whilst I'm quite happy with the in sim images a lot of the time, the up to date bing maps are sharper and newer in some places, so worth a look. I tend to use them a lot outside of the UK which is now pretty decent. I do try google from time to time and there are a few places that it look nice, but generally there are stark contrasts in colouring where you move from one satellite image to another. The clarity is very goid though and the mapping is very up to date. A case of swings and roundabouts.

August 18, 20241 yr I bought a 30 day license for x plane 12 yesterday and it has totally changed my experience for x plane. In my opinion it has brought the sim up to the same level as MSFS2020.

August 18, 20241 yr Been going on for a bit now Bob, this new piece of software makes it a bit easier to install. I also bought a license yesterday and like what i saw, all though here I am this morning back in MSFS. I will post some screen shots later today if nobody shares any. Dave

August 18, 20241 yr I still have X-Plane12 on my system. Haven't run it for nigh on a year. Now, with the Map Enhancement Mod and SayIntentions both available in X-Plane, it just might be time to take another look.
