Work in Progress / 11
« on: August 13, 2011, 01:38:20 pm »
Just a single shot to get you an idea of the scenery looks, I've uploaded in .PNG, so the quality won't be affected by compression.

The screenshot is absolutely unaltered, undoctored, unprocessed, not sharpen or edited in any way (other than adding the caption), it's exactly as it looks like for real, and everything else it's 100% default, no dramatic addon cloud effects, nothing. Just the scenery.

Don't expect *that* quality on FS9, though...texture resolution will be down from 4096x4096 to 1024x1024, and no specular reflections, not bump mapping which would result in flatter and less sharpen ground. The issue is, those advanced materials are *everywhere* on KLAX so, it will be the scenery were the difference between FS9 and FSX will be more dramatic.

Assuming there WILL be an FS9 version to begin with. We are still not 100% sure, since we still haven't seen it on FS9 yet.

Looks outstanding, terrific work and should be the perfect compliment to the NGX. JFK-LAX, LAX-LAS, LAX-FLL, LAX-ORD. You guys have it all covered.  8)

Love it I am sure glad I upgraded to FSX the only downside I see is now the city of LA and the surrounding area is well blah looking :). Great job looking forward to LAX.

I would still be very interested in getting it with the lowered quality.

Wow looks awesome. I hope release is soon because I want my hands on it!

But too bad my performance in the NGX isn't good enough to fly it there (or any addon airport/any airport at all...)  :-\. I will have to upgrade my computer.
Happy Flying,

Hi Umberto,
really fantastic shot/scenery! As always the best sceneries around the world, I hope for a soon release on the market... FSDT KLAX will be my new one. Thanks. Bye.

Looks nice. About fs9's version, in case you decide one day to port that scenery, you *could* let the specular without too much trouble, even older fs9 sceneries have that feature, like ancient Simwings' LFPG or even Overland's Seoul Incheon. Old sceneries, old techniques, yet specular was there already. Just my two cents.

But the technology isn't.  A lot of this is done with SimConnect and Python, which don't work in FS9.
