RealScenery Washington State - anyone using it?

[Tyler Smith]

Just wondering if any one else in xplane 10 is using RealScenery, such as Washington State.

 

Why I'm asking is I was looking on there site and it seems like a decent scenery package, but it also appears it may have been mostly created for xplane 9. I can't find any reviews or much mention of it.

 

Just wondering?

The product works fine in X-Plane 10, just as all RealScenery products do.

 

Washington is part of our legacy line of products, as are any other packages without the 'Enhanced' title in them ( Enhanced is Oahu, Reno, and soon NORCAL).

 

Legacy just means that these packages were built prior to the new methods used in our Enhanced scenery, some of which includes even higher resolution imagery, a special car following imagery roads feature, and night lit tiles. We also employ a strict color correction on our Enhanced series.

 

From a personal standpoint, I still much prefer the RealScenery packs to default X-Plane (even if Legacy). You may find that Washington and other similar packs are well suited for flying 5,000 ft and above, where as the HR and Enhanced titles are well suited for both low and high flying. If you prefer to fly low and slow I suggest: Oahu, Reno, Phoenix, or Tucson, with Oahu and Reno being the better of the two. If you like doing planned routes at higher than GA pattern altitudes then all will cover.

 

Hope this helps!

I was considering getting it actually.  I want to have the entire west coast including nevada.. arizona etc.  Would be so cool. Higher res would even be better.

Here is a table listing the differences between enhanced and legacy scenery, all of which work with v9 and v10. Cameron summarized the differences well.

Enhanced Scenery

Legacy scenery is great for higher altitude, daytime VFR, or commuter/airline flights around the state.

Look at the galleries on X-Aviation.com for images of the scenery in-flight to see how the scenery looks in-sim.
