I expect there will be a lot of shots posted from Monument Valley. It looks a lot better then the FSX default thats for sure, but not as sharp as I would like it to be. It might just be my settings. Well have to play around with them and see if I can sharpen things up.

I just downloaded it as well,
Looks great, and Fairly accurate. but I'd like to see Monument Valley (UT25) more realistic... (Paved, and the parking / buildings there..) in the future releases.

Thanks Bob for the link,will that scenery work in FS2004 too?

I don't think so, but I guess you could try it. It does come with an uninstaller. I'd get another opinion from someone that knows a lot more about this. Maybe, Nick.

It's a nice area to fly, great shots!

Does anyone know if the final release will be still freeware?

Cheers,

Hey Bob,

I'm planning on putting a sharpen filter over the imagery and also doing some color correction too before release...  Part of the issue with sharpness though is due to the source imagery being 1m compared to 30cm or higher that Megascenery uses.  This is more to do with limitations in the source imagery.  I could resample to 60cm and that would lose some of the fuzziness but increase the file size to double..  Hopefully the sharpen filters will do the trick without blowing out the file size too much...

Am expanding coverage to include all of San Juan County in the final commercial release.  Guess all I can say is Santa may bring a surprise for Christmas ;-)

In terms of the airport, I don't currently have the tools to quickly render the runway I could do it by hand but if I did that I'd have to also do every single airport for all of Nevada, California, Utah, Arizona, West Virginia and several other states.  My goal is broad coverage, but I am looking to hire someone who would be interested in doing up the AFX/AFCAD files as an addon to the base photoscenery pack.  The real monument valley airstrip can be seen next to the FSX placed airstrip and as of 2006 the main runway doesn't fully have pavement, only at the Gouldings Lodge end...

Hope this information helps some...

Cheers
Dean
