If you guys like Alaska so much...

[Nick N]

You should try it on FSX and running full DX10 with the 0.10m mesh and 7cm textures

[Tom...]

Interesting  ;D

Nice edits Nick! I was wondering when you would show us some of the photo's you've made there, but you didn't have to stick that FS Beaver in there

But seriously mate ... absolute stunning shots! The way you can still see parts of the submerged floats are especially nice


And look at you post count!! You've been busy these last few days haven't you?

[Nick N]

No! no! no!

Thats the new DX10

I swear!

LOL


OUcH!
my nose is growing

[Nick N]

and yes, I had a wHALE of a good time!



















and for the record and so no one gets the wrong impression, the first shots are a joke.

You wont be seeing that type of detail in MSFS for another year or 2 but it is coming

[haroldkip]

That must've been quite an impressive moment Nick!

Never seen whales but I did see dolphins near the coast of Tenerife. Not as big but definitely as impressive.
When they swim around you just just want to cry out of happiness ...

Wow DX10 is so realistic on the graphics.

Beauty shots.

[Nick N]

Shots like I *coUGh* snagged are not that far away guys. It will take time for it to cover the earth but its already in the works

"The Gathering Place", in Hawaii. Oahu will have an unbelievable 30 cm/1 foot per pixel ground imagery. Furthermore, the team from Beachcomber Entertainment anticipates deriving the mesh from a 10 m DEM elevation model with an accuracy of 10 cm vertically. They are also concurrently working on coverage for the State of West Virginia at 60 cm per pixel and with incredible 2 m elevation data. Simply amazing.

That was the most expensive payware scenery I have EVER used

Worth it... it looks so REAL.

[Nick N]

Yea, the water need work... too cold for one thing, it kept splashing off the screen on me


They did a good job on the whales, but you have to set the AI traffic to 100%

I bet that dragged down frame rates!

[JBaymore]

AI traffic at 100% uses a whale of a lot of polygons.
