An FS9 Flashback, FSG 19m Mesh is Still the Best!

[Jim Robinson]

No, I'm not throwing in the towel on FSX, I love FSX, it's just that I don't believe I've seen a better looking mesh than FSGenesis' 19m "individual states" packages for FS9, not even in FSX. I bought my home state within a few hours of it's release, and since then I've added the entire western US and British Columbia. I can't say enough about this mesh, I'll keep FS9 eternally installed just so I can go look at this mesh once in a while. "Shade" does a good job of adding relief to the mesh in FSX and making it look more like I remember in FS9. Of course one thing led to another and I naturally began wondering what the FSG 19m mesh would look like with "Shade". I did a quick flight in FS9 this evening to see if the basic principal behind "Shade" would work in FS9. I think it does, but like everyone's been finding out with FSX, the ENB darkening effect is overkill and would need to be lightened up in the .ini to co-exist with Shade.

The flight left McCall, Idaho in the late afternoon for a dusk landing at 65S, Bonners Ferry. I flew direct to Mullan Pass VOR and then flew the CLASS transition for Bonners Ferry's RNAV 02 approach. This is the Aryus Citation XLS, that choice prompted by Glenn's recent thread here in the screenshot forum. Here's what I came up with:




Somewhere between Mullan Pass VOR (MLP, 117.8) and CLASS intersection





I think I had ENB off in this one





Same place, looking towards Coeur d' Alene. FSMetar slipped me an overcast layer moments later so I was in a whiteout until I descended below it





Widescreen issues





A little dark, but sort of a nice effect




Thanks for checkin' in!

At what airport are you landing and can I please have your ENB settings?

Amazing pics as always

[Jim Robinson]

Thanks very much Alex. Appreciated

Thanks Pesso, the airport is 65S, Bonners Ferry, Idaho with some scenery improvements I've worked on over the years. My hometown, BTW . Here's my enbseries.ini, I normally don't use bloom so I have it disabled by default. You can still turn it on with Shift+F9. If you want it on permanently open the .ini and change:

[EFFECT]
EnableBloom=0

to:

[EFFECT]
EnableBloom=1

Then it'll be on by default but you can turn it off with Shift+F9.

Thank you very much, so the airport can't be found in the library, right?

Can I request some screenshots from you? KLM 747 landing at St. Marteen...it's classic lol, but I'm really curious to see how your screens will turn out to be

BTW, your ENB settings are amazing, thanks once again for them

Hmmm, there's that tubeliner thing again... I'll work on the 747/TNCM thing, but it probably won't be in FS9. I'll see what I can come up with. I'll make a thread titled "Tubeliner Shots for PESSO" .

I installed the QW 757 the other day and did a quick one from KMWH to KGEG, spent most of the flight trying to figure out how to get the damn thing pointed towards Spokane. I did finally manage to get a flight plan into the FMC somewhere over Seattle, turned the beast around, and flew the ZOOMR1 arrival into KGEG. Was fun, but there's so much more to FSX at 5000' than there is at FL320... I need to go fly the 757 somewhere that Orbx ain't, if ya know what I mean .
