I hate to sound negative this first time, but that is what brought me here to make this post. I have purchase 90% of all the original MegaSceneryEarth products over the years and have flown most of it. I have waited for more of it like most of you and now 2.0 has arrived. Boy was I excited. I immediately purchased 13, 2.0 States, NEW YORK, VERMONT, PENNSYLVANIA, MARYLAND, RHODE ISLAND, CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE,, NEW JERSEY, NEW HAMPSHIRE, MASSACHSSETTS, OHIO, INDIANA and ILLINOIS.
I have flown all of them at 15,000 feet and discovered that 90% of them have 0% water masking which results in Dead Brown Rivers, Lakes, Creeks and Ponds. The very large Lakes, the developer went back and water masked those off. Every 2.0 State has a horrible Green Neon Tint color overlay that makes you feel like you are flying in an Alien World. Even the main interstate Highways have this slight Neon Green tint. This is not real life colors like the previous MegaSceneryEarth product. Not even close. This is the reason the 2.0 States are being released so rapidly. There is very little work being done on each 2.0 State prior to release. I for one will not purchase any additional 2.0 State products until what I have purchased is re-worked to include water masking. At this point These 2.0 States are not worth the cost they are asking for without water masking and with that horrible Green Neon Tint Overlay on everything in the State. They are just not worth the price they are asking. I have removed all 2.0 States from my 512 SSD Drive and re-installed my Original MegaSceneryEarth Products. That took a solid weeks work. At least I am back flying in the real world now. Look for some pictures detailing my results in the next week or so on this forum. It will demonstrate my results. I wish I had more positive news. But this is real life. Hey, if you buy all 48 2.0 States, it’s going to cost you close to $ 2,000.00. It’s better to get the product right the first time you buy it. Hey if you fly at 35 to 40,000 feet you don’t notice it that much, but if you fly at 15 to 20,000 feet you notice it a lot!
