  • Noel, Sorry for responding late, here are the three important things that are easy to do. You can use photogrammetry off or on. When you use this software always start it before MSFS and lea

    Bing Latest is pretty amazing and much better than Google Maps. It does feel like an MS2024 preview. 

Hmmm.. just downloaded the .zip install package for Version 8 from github and was warned of the wacatac.B!ml trojan. Windows Defender immediately quarantined the file.

No idea if its a false positive or not but I think I'll err on the side of caution and pass for now.

I just downloaded from flightsim.to and got no warnings.  However, I got an error when I installed but the program seems to be running fine.

I could not download it at all at first but finally got the zip package and installed it with no issues.

Version 8.0.1 out now.....

 

* Fix when license is expired, the user is not able to use free maps
* When no old version was installed, the settings and license can't be saved

Please note that some antivirus will report trojan or delete the installer, this is because the app is not code-signed and is only published for the first time. The detailed explanation is here: https://docs.velopack.io/packaging/signing

HUGE increase in textures loading speed.

Also. For those who want to use a custom cache folder. The program doesn't recognize spaces in the folder name. Just name it without spaces.

I notice that to but could not figure out where it came from. But I am happy about it. 🙂

Ha ha ha... I also fell for this simple Chinese trick. Before this, the texture counter triggered maybe every tenth or twentieth texture, as well as a picture of these textures. Now the counter changes every single texture, which creates the appearance of accelerated work. I checked the texture download speed - exactly the same as it was before.

Good catch but perception is the important thing.

You speak as usual without knowing or having experience with the product. I mainly used Google Map enhancement for the much more natural color but with REX Atmos it now does the job. I'm more disappointed about FS2024 than the "High LOD". I've already shown you pictures of FS2020 by default. It's sharp and clear. FS2024 is blurry.For now, discussions around FS2024 are centered around the Great Cayun and some rocks that planes can overcome...LOL! You haven't shown anything except pictures that look like fsx or you don't know how to use your iPhone 14. FS2024 doesn't even exist on social media apart from a few children at snack time who have fun with it.On steam FS2020 is still the big winner. This is the cruel reality. I'm staying at my cruising speed of 50 hours of flight per week with FS2020 and I've never had as much fun as I do today.With the Fenix and some well-chosen small planes, I have everything I need and In the near future, X plane will be the king of simulation.

I can’t see any reason why you would post that except to provoke a reaction. Those type of posts are unnecessary. Think before you post anything similar again. There might be consequences.

Interesting but I sometimes notice blurry textures in 2024 but that was with its built dynamic settings. I hope in the future we can "fix" or have fixed some of the maps. 

2020 is still great, no doubt. I have since moved on to 2024 as I think it looks amazing with reshade (no fps loss) and active sky etc.  Thankfully i still have 2020 to fly my dc6 and 737s otherwise thats it. Atmos makes 2020 a whole lot better, you're right about that. 

I do disagree that 2024 is overall more blurry. I was under the impression the maps were the same in both simulators. Hopefully we can fix some of the odd ortho coloration in the future too

sorry i am all over the place 🤣🤣
