Screenshots WALL : Tack up your pictures!

Dont like to get too low in this area as the Scenery is badly put together for the Canyon, does not render well & it spoils the shot--Polygons --polygons......

Good point! There are some spots where the scenery is acceptable.

I thought the new XP10 has higher resolution of scenery mesh. Do you know?

Without a doubt but it's by no means perfect. A great deal of America is well catered for, one of the reasons I like to fly in the Areas I mentioned earlier but there are other parts that are not too clever at all (The tundra's of Canada/Alaska for example and Siberia) Where there should be beautiful lakes and beaver streams theres nothing but Forest. LR should put a little more effort into what is never-the-less pretty good terrain scenery. (It's definitely not Walt Disney style like some Sims)

Problem is there's a lot of people coming across from FSX and they are often more obsessed with Scenery than Aircraft or flying & they put pressure on LR for what they want.(In my opinion { & it's only an opinion} so many screenshots are spoilt by people trying to impress their collection of Scenery or often 'Mickey Mouse Airports' which results in a Vague shot of a plane swamped somewhere in the resulting visual confusion. Strangely enough these Guys tend to fly the 'Big Birds' & spend 95% of their time above 20.000ft & beyond visable view of the ground which they only see during brief Takeoffs/Landings??)

I dont think we can complain of the resolution in general offered by v10 at present--it's pretty neat & can only get better.I rarely fly more than 3000 above the regions ground level so I need reasonable GeologyTerrain Scenery.

Well got rid of the Parrot (Polly's--gone) but so has the Canyon scenery......

Well, people are visually minded. Not so surprising they wanna look at pretty things and focus on that. That itself has become their hobby - I'm cool w/ that. Occasionally I like to share cool pics, but it's a side effect of my main hobby: sim flying. And most of that is around 5000 ft AGL. That's just my perspective. It'll take some time where we have scenery that is reasonable accurate for VFR stuff. I can't wait.

Thats just my point GlowWorm--I don't think is at all pretty--when it is I'll be spending money on it. The Aircraft however really are becoming both Pretty & Pretty realistic.

Now if you want an example of 'Pretty & Pretty realistic Scenery then take a look at what you see out of aTrain simiulator window--I've actually been able to identify the species of some track side Fauna they have been that exact. Mind you I realise that such Scenery is made to view over short distances and generally on a narrow flat plane. It will come though--and soon I think!

thinks everyone is too heavily loaded on turkey, pie, and sacks of sale loot to get any planes off the ground?

LFX10 @ KTCY

Thanks Kiofka for the nice scenery.

Wow!!! Sexy!

OK, with everything updated to 1011 to let light inside the cockpit for 3d_on_plane and global shadow modes. and afaik the material&shade issue was cleared by LR several versions ago.

Lets make with the screenshots. the v10(1011) spec models have the setting on them for high-res textures inside and out so regardless of your main texture resolution setting and if lowered because v10 is heavy and let it downsample world/scenery textures, on my planes they'll all be crisp. I've sampled most of them in v10 for appearance, so I wanna see you all out there flying around, getting some nice shots with the shadows working-their-magic, maybe even HDR lamp glow on the outside.
