John Lovell Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Here are my first shots from SoCal all shot in glorious P3Dv3. With the photo real shores of Los Angeles and the Urban sprawl of Las Vegas, I don't think these two have ever looked as good as this in any sim... and without any cost in fps! I got graphics and shadow sliders and max and my medium spec system handled it beautifully. Expect more shots to come, but meanwhile, please enjoy this first installment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psykie Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I'm sure (HOPE) that they accounted for L-VFR's Santa Ana and San Diego airports. And any other S. Cal airports from FSDT and others. Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B77X Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I don't even want to ask what kind of FPS you will get in the LA area with everything maxed, must be worse than the Bay Area and Seattle... but sure looks great! As I said in the other preview topic though, the desert is not red enough. Is this something you can look at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holger Sandmann Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hi David, Quote the desert is not red enough. Is this something you can look at? The lack of color saturation in the Hoover Dam screenshots appears to be specific to user settings in P3Dv3. If you look at the same area in FSX there's plenty of color and saturation. I'm no expert in adjusting P3D settings but assume there are options for achieving similar color depths as in FSX. Then again, I've noticed a thread in the L-M scenery development support forum documenting that both HDR and tessellation settings in P3Dv3 negatively impact colors of ground textures, in particular photoreal areas. L-M stated they are looking into this. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious about that too. It would NOT be a show-stopper for me in purchasing SCA if the Strip wasn't "up-to-date" (all Las Vegas sceneries today are out of date concerning the Strip buildings due to renovations over the past few years), but could you show a picture of the Strip looking south from the Stratosphere towards KLAS (or north from KLAS towards the Stratosphere)? It's looking great already and it's a definite purchase for me (living in Las Vegas) regardless. Just curious like Bruce. The new Hoover Dam bridge is spot on, BTW.

sbclark Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi, Does this scenery include Catalina Island....................I could see Orbx developing a detailed airport for KAVX?

Maybe because I am using P3Dv3 and performance is better managed that I am seeing smooth performance here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
