My look on P3D v4.4

As already mentioned and showed, version 4.4 of P3D is a game changer.

I skipped every version since my initial v4.1 due to the lack of improvements with the Photoreal sceneries.

After an intensive test round, I can say that I'm happy that I jumped ship with this one!

 

Following is set of captures only resized for web. Scaling down makes pictures sharper but believe me, they are sharp at full size.

Still need to install the alternative shaders.

 

1. TE Netherlands now looks as intended. Sharp all the way to the horizon.

2. Finally a good look at the mountains of Innsbruck.

3. They now are sharp in the distance instead of popping crisp in the immediate surrounding of the vehicle. Hence the roads at the bottom right.

4. Testing Saanen which already looked great.

5. I always avoided these mountains when hitting the V-key unless I was really close.

6. Catalina Island also benefits from the enhancement.

7. All that nice PR... How does it handle with higher speeds? No problem!

8. I was doing my best to get the best out of the Hawk but the textures kept catching up.

9. Dive, dive, dive! 300+ knots.

10. Lovely plane by the way...

11. Inbound for another high speed dive.

12. Here we go! The scenery will not go down.

13. Time for something faster to see if the LC textures can keep up.

14. Full AB outbound El Centro. It's the PBR enabled F-16.

15. Losing FPS here as San Diego and/or LA-area probable are rendered too at this height?

16. Normally the textures on the top left corner were slightly blurred on my system. Especially with this speed of 600+ knots.

17. The opposite of low and slow! We're at 695 knots! Little autogen so next run will be in a more dense area but I could outrun the textures easily even in these areas.

You've put together a very nice set, that certainly shows the improvements to the rendering engine to it's bets advantage

Thank you Renault. I was aiming for that.

Do you use anything like PTA or REX?  Because I love that color of the water.

I have no PTA-alike shaders active yet. I do have REX Texture Direct installed.
