Are you aware of this "FS9 Xtreme Evolution" project ?

Postby Daube » Mon Aug 19, 2013 8:27 am

Hi FS9'ers :)

There is a on-going project going on to give FS9 new, improved textures. Kind of a new GEW, I suppose.
The result is quite convincing, to say the least. Currently, it's not available yet, but it's in beta stage already, and MANY beautiful screenshots can be seen on the testing topic on another forum:

In some areas, the textures come close to OrbX-style, for those of you who know a little bit of FSX products. Of course, there are no miracles: the textures are still in 5 meters per pixel resolution, but they DO look good nevertheless once you get a few hundred feets high. It seems to be a very promising project, so I believe a lot of you simmers should take a close look to it 8-)

Thanks Fozzer sir for being my wing man in the forum. Wowgold had me wondering if I was missing something in my old age. :clap: Appreciate the clarification to who this person was and what was going on. Thought my gears were starting to slip and I was missing things.

I really don't see where this "Evolution" is "XTreme" enough to change from what I already have. So sorry, blokes.

This texture pack is incredible. Blows away any other world textures....gepro etc.....that's available for fs9. Sascha has done an incredible job.

Just check out some of his screen shots as well at avsim. Amazing.

Very good - YES ......... "incredible" & "Blows away any other world textures" - Definitely a matter of opinion .... of which yours is certainly welcome.

Screenshots (to me) don't really show enough umph to cause me to change out all of my current textures. Also, this is a work in progress as there are many updates and changes to the work. I prefer to wait until a product is more "finalized" before deciding to make the jump.

I do encourage Sascha to continue working on this project and give him props for the contribution to FS9 he has provided.

I'm a beta tester. Trust me, it's great. Add some good landclass, even better!

FS9 Evo v1 released

Hi guys!

I have released FS9.

I am now accepting paypal donations under fs9evo@gmail.com and will post the download link to anyone making a modest or generous contribution. Please be a bit patient, I will send links out asap! I have to sort this out so I can keep track of things.

I will have plenty of time over the weekend to take care of any issues although I hope the beta test has cleaned most of them out already!

Cheers,
Sascha

------------------------------------------

"Official" relase announcement

FS9 Evolution is a global texture makeover for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 ACOF.

FS9 Evo tries to create a realistic and believable environment in FS9. FS9 Evo textures are built up by hand to look photreal.

FS9 Evo tries to evolve FS9 by having individual texture files with great detail, carefully balanced within a texture set to avoid tiling. This creates a believable low-altitude experience with enough large terrain features to have an interesting high-altitude experience.

FS9 Evo replaces most texture files (default or add ons that replace default) that define the visible world outside your plane. This includes cities and towns, fields and rice paddies, forests and jungles, oceans and lakes, deserts and swamps, airport terminals and suburban houses, clouds and grass.

FS9 Evo also has dense custom autogen for all files that can be annotated.

FS9 Evo also has new and I believe unique 3D lights integrated into the autogen.

FS9 Evo is compatible with Ultimate Terrain and all other land class because basically it is just another texture replacement add-on.

FS9 Evo is optimized for UT land class. Using UT or another good land class add-on will bring best results.

FS9 Evo is also compatible with other texture add-ons although there will probably be color mismatches. If you want to mix FS9 Evo with other texture addons, use the split folder install to select the textures you want.

FS9 Evo is summer only at this time with the other seasons to follow asap.

If you want to learn more about FS9 Evo just browse through the beta thread: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...testers-wanted or this thread: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/408107-...his-guy-do-it/. Both have lots of comments on Fs9 Evo.

You can also check the videos I posted on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4u...S6HYLhg/videos

There are some more links in my avsim forum signature.

FS9 Evo has been publically beta tested by members of the community so should not hold any unwelcome surprises. If you do encounter issues, please post them in the sim-outhouse or the avsim thread AND send me an email to fs9evo@gmail.com.

Well that is it! I hope you enjoy FS9 Evo! Don't forget to make backups before installing!
