I am just in the process of editing another video looking at the performance following the update. It will be available shortly.

As I noted in the video Wayne, the floating textures were due to an incompatible gsx profile that I had not removed. Once removed the problem vanished!

Hi Wayne, apologies. Yes, I had to re-edit the video after having uploaded it. Once a new version is made there is no way of using the original link, so I had to re-upload the new version. Also, there's no way of editing the post on this forum to remove the original link either, which seems a bit daft 😃. What a faff! Anyway, here ya go...

Here's my initial overview of MK Studios' LEBL...

Thanks for the explanation Nick, appreciated.

Sure, Nick. I see that, I'm curious why a developer would design a scenery in the first place that needs to have PG turned on (?) I don't understand it, and would appreciate being educated.

Apologies to jump in here guys, but I want to drop my penny's worth in as it's pretty relevent I feel. What is it with developers who create scenery that needs to have PG switched on before it functions corrrectly? Not long ago I bought Seville (MK Studios) and I had issues with trees on the taxiways! When I complained about this, I too was told that the scenery had been designed to work with PG on. I find this very very odd. Why is this? IMO this is like selling a car to customers telling them that it will only work properly if the driver ensures they drive it with a full tank of petrol! (probably not a great example, but I'm sure you get my point.) I suspect there are as many people simming with PG off, as there are people flying with PG on. To me, it makes no sense whatsoever to restrict a properly functioning scenery to only those people who operate their sim in a particular way. If there is a valid reason for this, then I'd love to hear it. Thanks.

I think to say I was disappounted would be an accurate description of how I felt on discovering that one of the most iconic Cathedrals in the UK, Wells, has not been modelled in this release.

That would be helpful John. I have been waiting for this release and I don't really want to purchase it if it is does not have the POIs that are of interest to me. eg, in particular, Wells Cathedral, which should be an obvious one, I hope.

Great, thanks Jack.

Hi fellas, I'm looking for feedback for the South American mesh product. ie, are there any issues that anyone has experienced with this product, in particular stuttering, freezes etc. I don't want to waste money like I did with another developer's Norway mesh, where it caused big stutters, and that was 20m Mesh! Thanks.

Brilliant captures Pete.

We here this all the time about photogrammetry areas. The problem with PG is that it varies enormously for different areas. Look at London compared to NY. I flew a short time with PG but now fly exclusively without it, and I much prefer it. Simply by the way PG collects data it will never be able to capture the detail necessary to recreate high quality structures such as suspension bridges, ferris wheels, or anything with fine strands of detail. These can only be created by using higher resolution capture techniques such as low flying aircraft or drones. The only real option in MSFS is for these individual elements to be hand crafted. Everyone to their own, but IMO, I much prefer to fly with PG turned off, I mean let's face it, with PG off, the scenery is still a 1000 miles from default scenery in FSX or P3D. As for trees, there is a cfg tweak you can make for reducing the size of trees, you may find this can help things a little. Alternatively, why not try REX's Accuseasons, that has an option to reduce size of trees in the UI. I love this product BTW.

Thanks for the feedbak Graeme. More to come!

Great pics Pete and to hear your story about your first flight of this wonderful bird.
