RealScenery Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Thank you but it was not necessary to start a new topic with my post. If I had gone off topic I apologize. I also noticed that you misquoted me in the forum topic anyway. It was not my intention to start a whole plausibility debate as that has been done already. I was merely trying to elucidate why I would prefer your scenery over the plausible scenery. So please close out the other topic unless you wish to start one on your own. Thank you JimJazAeroYes, I fixed the quote error, Jim... My apologies.I'm happy to start the new topic, actually, and look forward to seeing what others think. Most of the plausibility discussions are built around X-Plane default scenery vs the real-world, not necessarily focusing on the plausibility of land-use vs. image-based ground scenery... You just gave me the excuse to start the topic. I also know that your comments, while only stating your opinion, will certainly spark additional comments and discussion. For that reason, I directed others to the new topic.Thanks! Edited February 17, 2013 by RealScenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealScenery Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 The only negative is that this process takes a lot of time to complete. I am really looking forward though to when it is available.Thanks, John. The back-end server and installer code has been more than anyone anticipated. X-Aviation, no doubt, has as much time on this project as I do. When this is released, we will all have a fast, flexible, reliable download system. I'm most appreciative of X-Aviation for their hard work in supporting this mammoth project! I know all our customers will be, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MugHug Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) May seem like a dumb question, but are these products just photo scenery or can they be combined with airport/ scenery objects?Regards Edited February 18, 2013 by MugHug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealScenery Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 May seem like a dumb question, but are these products just photo scenery or can they be combined with airport/ scenery objects?RegardsNot a dumb question at all, and one we frequently are asked. Yes, this photo scenery may be combined with other airport objects. Many RealScenery customers do this to further enhance the photo textures for a specific airport.

RealScenery Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Flying over the city of Bishop, one of the hottest and driest cities in California. This early morning flight was taken before the intense heat of the afternoon sun bakes the Ownens River Valley.

RealScenery Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) One of the most beautiful airports along the California's Pacific coast is Crescent City, KCEC. The airport is located on Point St. George, the third most western point in the continental U.S. The large, light-colored areas on the left side of the image are sand dunes.

RealScenery Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Approaching the small agricultural community of Maxwell, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) north of Sacramento. The agricultural lands of California's Central Valley offer some of the most spectacular flying in the state, with the constant variation of colors and patterns of the fields. Looking to the west, in the distance, are the mountains of the Mendocino National Forest. Interstate 5, the main roadway from Canada to Mexico, can be seen, along with the interchange, to the east of Maxwell, just above the nose of the Cessna.
