Just wanted to show you a set of screenshots from my latest experiments with the Scenery. Essentially, you can see three things here: - increased mesh resolution (and thus, increased landclass accuracy). This makes mountains (but many other places too) even better. Only drawback is, that DSFs are much larger, and 32bit X-Plane chokes on them sometimes (but the 64bit version should "fix" this one day). - tuned forests a little bit (little bit smaller trees, and increased density). - my new, experimental add-on of tree-lines (trees along roads) + farms in USA and Europe (all derived from OpenStreetmap data with a few "little" algorithms). http://picasaweb.google.com/101666907909842492197/XPlane10SceneryExperiments

And one funny thing is: other than the few farms I sketched up with Blender, there is no new artwork ! Its all the default artwork (same textures, same forests) used a bit more ... uhm ... "aggressively" ...

Not bad at all re: the Aerosoft Additions. Some are just using the XP10 facade library system only. (which is pretty easy to do)... I was kind of expecting more I suppose. The ones they've done with their custom objects and orthophotos, yes indeed are nice! I can still use HDR on my nVidia 330M if I dial down the texture resolution. A good release (rendering wise) from what Ive seen so far in the last 30 mins of playing with it. Very smooth even at complex sceneries. I purposely "nerfed" down the clouds... (There's that word again Simon!) so I'm still getting a great framerate with reasonable sky quality. I noticed that Rain/Precip isn't dropping my FPS in half like it used to... although this may be an improvement in a previous build (never tested that earlier). KSEA - Can put objects to Mega Tons, and it's not a slideshow! (yay) - CK.

Give me more!!!!!!! Nom nom nom !!!!!!!
