European Mountain Man Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Wow Tim your screen shots look fantastic are you using PTA for the colours are super regards stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkH Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Nice shots. Looks like you have both cast and receive shadows for the vegetation activated? Sadly, this is not possible for me in NZ, ruins my FPS. I keep only receive shadows, as such at least the cloud shadows are visible on big forests.

Cheers!, thats funny I dont seem to notice any difference with the tree shadow settings, I do run a fairly tight area for them though, about 6km range, the shadows in P3D are the biggest immersion builders for me, so I always have them set all on, and lower other things if needed 18 minutes ago, Iain Emms said: Grand shots indeed Tim. cheers Iain Ta Iain!

Jack Sawyer Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Outstanding Tim! Like Stewart I'd love to know what preset you're using. You are making Orbx shine in these shots, I mean the second one looks like something you'd see on a calendar of the beauty of New Zealand! They ALL good!

Would be interested in your other settings then. You also do not see any impact of shadows on or off for trees in ORBX Stockholm? It is unflyable for me with tree casting and receiving shadows...

Stillwater Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Surely amazing to see the rediscovery of Orbx NZ with the new sim.

Jack Sawyer Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 These are incredible. Just incredible. Sensible settings, in fact mine are all maxed out, Matt's preset, and I guess the only difference is the REX sky colors? They're beautiful Tim.
