What did you fly today?

[tkyler]

Textures are "downsampled" based on rendering setting (except cockpit texture, which is always hi rez).  So a 512px runway texture gets pretty blurry, but several 2048px aircraft textures will keep the aircraft textures reasonably sharp.

[Kaphias]

Or (please correct me if I am incorrect) object textures don't "downsample" at all.

Edit: Another trick I used when I was still using my Macbook was to start up in a low texture setting, then turn it all the way up, load a plane, then turn it back down. The plane looked great without hogging the frames that great looking scenery does.

Cameron got it, it is beautiful scenery and it converts great.

[WombatBoy]

I concur! I have it as well, fantastic, worth all the Euros

[MaidenFan]

how to you convert fs scenery?

[emin0413]

You can convert scenery from fs2002, fs2004, and fsx with fs2x-plane. You can find it easily by googling it. Not all sceneries work out, but others are great.

A round in the Sea Max.

Cat, where did you get that AA MD-80? I've been looking all over.

XPFW, you need to register as a betatester.

[MaidenFan]

How to you register as a betatester if you're already registered with the website?

Thanks, I tried that a couple of minutes ago and it's pending. I guess it'll verify me in a day or so.

Could be up to a couple weeks.

Flew this C74 custom around the San Francisco bay.

I caught this boater by surprise.

Nice boat eh?

[MaidenFan]

You've got some nice graphics! What OS do you have?

[woweezowee]

I bought me a C152 in FSEconomy. It stood there waiting for me in switerland, and I took it to France, near the Spanish Border (LFCB, Bagneres De Luchon). From there, I took off today to make my way via the Pyrenees and Barcelona to LESB, Son Bonet, Mallorca, where I own a small airport. There I had to go, because until now, this Cessna was eqipped for VFR flight only. No instruments working, no GPS working (FSE takes care of that).

As you see, it was night when I arrived in Mallorca. But my mechanic and repair shop were still opened for me. So, I installed expensive GPS and IFR equipment into the 152, slept a few hours in my office and went off in the skies again.

Asked by Rush

"You've got some nice graphics! What OS do you have?"

Thanks Rush!

It's a Cyberpower custom with an Intel duo core 8600 overclocked at 3.33 ghz w/ an Nvidia GTX 260 graphics card.  Gamma setting for the shot was at 2.0 .  the XP settings are pretty maxed out.

She smokes. Chews X-Plane up for breakfast. Just installed the new System 7 OS, sweet.

But to me, it all means nothing if your not flying a good aircraft. I really like the stuff from C74.NET.

Rock solid performance and beauty.

Thanks again Rush.

Does anybody know of any good KLAX or KSFO scenery from MSFS that can convert to X-Plane?

You can't go past Fly Tampa for KSFO.

Try the Avsim download section for KLAX and use FS2XPlane to convert.
