July 23, 20241 yr (Very) first impressions: I deleted the lackluster Sumburgh (EGPB) airport from OrbX (cheap FSX-port), only to find the WUXVII bespoke one even more lackluster. On the other hand, Edinburgh photogrammetry (TIN?) is fantastic! EGPH v2 from Pyreeque would need some color correction, but I'm sure that will happen pretty fast. Edit: And London seems to have improved vastly! Edited July 23, 20241 yr by Tom_L Asus ROG STRIX X870-E Gaming; Ryzen9 9950X3D; RX9070XT; 96GB RAM; 4GB/2GB M.2 SSD; 8GB HDD; LG 45GX90SA-B

July 23, 20241 yr Looking forward to a better London. Deffo interested to sample the airports, but they're awful big and none of them are the biggest sites. Hard to see how the Inibuilds Farnborough at 3x the storage is 3x better than Burning Blue's. My Sumburgh is 93kb. I was going to let it rot, but I think I'll push it up to a heady 100-150mb eventually. Edited July 23, 20241 yr by superspud

July 23, 20241 yr Author 2 hours ago, Farlis said: Maybe because I use the Google Maps option instead of Bing in the hopes of getting TIN coverage that is not present in Bing. And that didn't work. Aha. That probably explains it. I will test initially without the Bing maps/enhancer and then try with the enhancer at a later time. I've done London and that looks great with photogrammetry right out to Windsor. A big part of Bristol has now been done including Portishead, Avonmouth and the North and South of the city (I can even see my house and my car on the drive now). A quick look at Cardiff and the airport looks excellent with photogrammetry going out to Barry Island and including the fairground. Off to take a look at Scotland now, before testing Leeds and Bradford and eventually off to Ireland. Edit - Glasgow and Edinburgh look great. Very impressed so far, though I did not like the look of Farnborough at first glance and will take a closer look later.
