I posted this in the design forum and thought, maybe, this belongs here... So, I decided to try some Megascenery Earth. I already own MegaScenery X SoCal and have been very pleased with it. I like the framerates and the realism of the mountains and the view from 4000+ feet. The Megascenery Earth California Upper South is not to the same quality. (I still like it but I have to admit some disappointment in the quality.) The resolution also *seems* to be about half of Megascenery X. The 'Earth' collection seems to be from some dated satellite imagery and the colors are extremely saturated. The hills look blackish. By comparison, the SoCal images look very natural. I uploaded some pics (see the link below) and they're a little out of order so let me take a moment and walk through them. The first few two pictures are from MegaSceneryX Socal...pretty good. Pic 3 is a Google pic of the Socal area that shows both KMRY (Monterey) and LAX..the two areas I'm comparing....pretty close geographically. Pic 4 is the first pic in the set from Mega Earth...sitting on the ground at KMRY. The hill behind looks like it's covered in coal. Pic 5 and 6 are from a few miles north of the airport: 5 is the area as displayed by Google Earth, 6 is from Mega Earth...same area, the Mega Earth pic is chopped off some. 7 is another from Mega Earth at 3000 feet and the last is a high altitude of the area...probably 20,000 feet. You can see them at http://imgur.com/OQO...P,ainwc,6btal#0 Again, sorry about the messed up order but it's enough for you to get an idea of how the area looks. I guess I was thinking that the quality would be roughly the same as MegaX Socal...especially since it's been a few years since they created that one. I *wish* they had chosen a different set of images or done some batch color correction before they packaged it. Like I said, it's still better than FSX scenery but I was certainly hoping for better. Has anyone had any experience with any other photoreal software that has better images? Seems like all the products are raising the bar in terms of quality...PMDG, Orbx, REX...I'd like to get something photoreal that is moving up with those products. I'll certainly replace this when I get the chance. Gregg

I have mega scenery earth 2.0 of Iowa and at my airports the buildings will appear and disappear depending on the view I am in. Sometimes I will be in the cockpit looking straight forward and the building will be there and then without moving the buildings will be gone. I read somewhere online about it but didn't know if anybody knew how to fix the issue. Airport looks bland with no hangars. I emailed support for Megascenery over 2 weeks ago and have heard nothing so that is why I am turning to the forums now. Thanks.
