transcontinental Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Hi Everyone, Decided to try my hand at photoreal. If you jump to five minutes into the video you'll see a Queens neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ussmidway Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Good to see you back, hope you are feeling better. I'm mixed on the photoreal. I tried it in the older sims, FS9 and FSX, but could never enjoy what felt (was) like flying over pictures. I do use Ortho4XP in a few areas, only because of the autogen layers. Even though they are generic, theres something about just having physical structures that I need. What I don't like is when you fly from an ortho area to a default. XP is on my 500GB SSD, and I keep my scenery on a 1TB HDD, so I cant really cover everything. https://prostrategyfootball.com/?p=467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transcontinental Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hi, I'm feeling good, thanks for asking. Since I spend about 100% of my time in the 737 I don't really notice the flat areas since I'm not below 2,500 all that long. At altitude the photo real looks amazing. Would be nice I I could get the entire globe done in ZL19/20! But the space required would be enormous and the time to load XP would be super long. I have about 90% of the US done in photoreal, my 10TB NAS drive is getting full fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ussmidway Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 That's true, I don't fly airliners much, I do vicariously thru you and others lol. I am usually in the default Cessna, or a couple Carenado birds I like. Low and sort of slow. I do small chunks, in areas I usually fly, but yes I would also love to have the whole US. I dont fly outside of it often. But my 1TB is used for pretty much everything so it's getting crowded. https://prostrategyfootball.com/?p=467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
