CaptCWGAllen Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Thought I would post these as I use both sims. They are taken at excatly the same spot in Southern Alaska, same time of day and similar weather. X Plane with HD Mesh V2 (donation wear), P3D with Orbx South Alaska payware. Sky and clouds are Sky Maxx v2, with RTH and REX TD4 respectively. Both are with HDR turnd on. P3D first, X Plane second - but when you see them you probably would have known. Whichever you prefer all I can say is that we are in a great period of the development of flight simming. PS - click on them because they were shot on a three screen layout and you don't get the full effect if you dont. http://1drv.ms/1BJEWR7 Edited August 23, 2014 by CaptCWGAllen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpilotx Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Well, there is an interesting comparison set of different Landclass Scenery in MSFS and HD Mesh Scenery v2 on simflight.de (yes, text is German but pictures are quite "obvious" to understand / click). They are taken at different locations in Germany, but each location has more or less the same perspective (well, I supplied the X-Plane screenshots ... and of course they only approximate the viewpoint): http://www.simflight.de/2014/09/14/der-grosse-vergleich-mit-welchen-landklassen-und-texturen-sieht-deutschland-besten-aus/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptCWGAllen Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Well, there is an interesting comparison set of different Landclass Scenery in MSFS and HD Mesh Scenery v2 on simflight.deHmmm - very interesting Andras. The HD v2 mesh is really stunning I think. Mountain textures in particular just knock Orbx into the dust. Eveything is also in such sharp focus consistently - in P3D the textures tend to focus in over time whic ruins the immersion. Currently exploring New Zealand and it is fabulous. Can't wait for v3 - must also download Japan sometime soon.Fabulous work that you do. Thanks you.cheersPeter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin S Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I have to say usually OrbX usually impresses me over X-Plane by a long shot but this is definitely one case where we can see X-Plane's true potential and ability.
