Heiko Glatthorn Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I mean yes, it's a flight simulator... But i just used slew mode and enjoyed this awesome sight. It's simply a new experience - another (FS) world... Heiko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike707 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Mango - It certainly looks like a new experience. The sort of experience where a person can fly low and slow in an urban area and take in such beautiful visuals without much, if any repetition. My plan is to purchase a projector in the near future and this sort of scenery on a projector is going to be inspiring. Thanks for the great screenshots. Koorbs - Are these the trees that will be available for production, or are those still on the way? Also, are there any other improvements that are forthcoming for production that are not represented in these shots. Simply amazing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Mike almost everything you're seeing in those shots apart from the ground terrain and shorelines are placeholder textures. That means new textures for buildings, housing, industrial, CBD, roofs, roads and trees are coming over the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwolb Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 How is all of this on FPS? I know you can adjust the detail, but just curious of comparison to default FSX autogen with similar detail? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxter Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 How is all of this on FPS?

maxter Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Not having ever landed at YSSY in FSX, Koorbs, is that the default YSSY or a FTX enhanced version? It certainly looks pretty good. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiko Glatthorn Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 That's default. Well, kinda... with X Graphics airport texture upgrades and REX beta runway lights Heiko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxter Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Oh OK, thanks Heiko. It did look pretty good in general. I might have to re-install X Graphics soon. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike707 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 John, Thanks for your reply regarding the placeholders in the screenshots. I am looking forward to seeing the production version for sure. One other question, are the lights (light depictions) coming from the streetlamps also placeholders that will be replaced? Thanks.

Nope, but their sizes will be reduced by about 40% Testing feedback suggests they are far too large and I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike707 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Mango, You mentioned that you are using some REX beta components for the airport lighting. Any change you would be able to take some screenshots using REX weather? I bet FTX with REX would look amazing. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for this combo too... Heiko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
