Hi,
 I received PC Aviator's Mega Scenery 2004 New York today. It's well worth it. Everyone who has been mad, dont be. You have to see it for yourself. It places buildings accurately and the elevation data is excellent.  It has updated my home airport amazingly. The satellite imagery is also excellent, but in some places it is placed a little incorrectly, but its very good otherwise!!













I really like it. You can request more images by e-mailing me if you haven't decided on it yet. Thanks.

I didn't reply to the first post about Mega Scenery 2 because I actually thought it was rather decent.  being a New York City area resident (staten island) I understand that large skyscraper only exist in two sections fo Manhattan...because of the lay of the land, and the sturdiness of the rock beneath the earth's surface building the size of the empire state building for example could only be placed in certain areas.  I thought it was rather accurate in places such as the shoreline, southern Manhattan...and central aprk really looks pretty nice, too...

Just my two cents, though.

I'm not impressed at all.  I don't think it is near the quality of Part 1.

Which is what I have been saying!

Hey mike I will take it that the quality of the images looks like it got buffered down by your paint program or photo capture program. But still when you look at Mega Scenery 1. They caught the detail of every major road in the city in detail.

I have a few (4 pics) requests

1. fly low next to the FDR Drive near the under path of the Queensborro bridge take a pic.

2. follow 1st ave uptown to the bronx across the willis ave. bridge and show me a pic of the housing develops in all of the area around!

3. Most important show me a pic of Yankee Stadium. I want to see if they created a new model or just stuck with the default looking model.

4. Take a pic of the Grand Concourse (the main through fare street through the south bronx.

Dude if they don't provide this much detail, I wouldn't be satisfied! How can you find your house if they don't even keep it real with these details of NEW YORK!

Hi Mav.

I tried to re enact your pics but couldn't find the locations in your pics. So I took a pic of Laguardia with the freeware scenery addon. There are two things I want you to take note of!



In this pic do you notice the parking lot in the background, How about the ATC tower next to the American Airlines Terminals (like the real one). I didn't notice either in your pic there!



On this swoop down of the runway, my intention was to catch a pic of the "Welcome to New York" sign at LaGuardia as in the real airport. Can't feel more homely then that! Is that their in Mega Scenery.

Let me ask you this .. Does your Laguardia have a fence around the airport?

Mav,
    You seem to think MegaScenery is supposed to have new objects and be a total facelift for New York. It's not. Its just satellite imagery. They did reposition some objects, but thats not why I bought it.

From developers:
Enhanced Autogen Scenery, Improved Night Lighting, Support For Flying In All Seasons, Thousands of Miles of Hand Etched Coastlines, Accurate Repositioning of Default FS2004 Objects, 150% more scenery than the previous title, and more....
     They never said new objects..

Dude if Satelite positoning of objects is the only upgrade for new york you get with MegaScenery2004. I think PCAviator can keep it!

I am having fun with freeware addons that enhance the New York area and provide greater detail! That is what turned me away from it! Hope you enjoy your new Territory!

Mav,

Man you are expecting WAY too much.

Thank You Silver!
     Now do you get it Mav?
              --Mike

I totally get it now  ;D! That is why I am not interested in it! I took up somoneelses offer to take buildings and build my own New York and put buildings in places they should be!

Like the project where I work at just across the willis ave bridge in the bronx from manhattan! I don't think it is much to demand some detail in the New York area. Addons add more detail to the default scenery to make it more realistic!

Mega Scenery 2 is definately not an upgrade I would be insterested in.

Well Then. Why Did you post here and say how horrible it was when you didnt even know what it was?
