Interesting improvement in scenery........

Postby JBaymore » Thu Oct 13, 2005 8:50 am

I just downloaded the FSGenesis 4/5/6 LOD mesh for the entire world.  It is intended as "background" mesh for the scenery in the distance.  Big downolad.... 400 or 600 Meg or something like that......so if you don't have fast broadband.... get the CD option.

It made a HUGE difference in the rendering of scenery as I fly.  Much smoother and I don't get the littel "blips" of way distant scenery kinda' "popping" into existance.

I have a year long membership set up with them.... so downloading extra stuff is pretty inexpensive.  This was done sort of "on a lark"..... and it paid off well.

Just a bit of a "tip" for ya'll.  Your mileage may vary.

best,

Hey im thinking of getting this,

Does it improve the scenery altogether, or does it just improve the "background" Effects. Etc.
Is it high noticeably? I have noticed some stuff on the website such as "153m (LOD8) SRTM ". Are they Remade textures or same as the mesh.
LOL i have no clue how it all works.
If it seems good, i think i will order it today. How much out of 10 would you rate it?  ?/10

I mainly fly around Europe, whats your experience with that been like?

Sorry about all the questions LOL ;D

Many thanks for the information John,

and most importantly,

Happy Flying!

Jimbo,

Check out an annual membership before you buy a single item.
