Christopher Serio 823884 Posted November 18, 2005 at 02:30 AM Posted November 18, 2005 at 02:30 AM Here's some screenies to whet your pallet. These are just random shots...I'll post some more impressive ones soon or maybe Ben will contribute some as well. Bottom line is, the new scenery kicks @$$ and the terrain resolution is incredible.

Ben Supnik Posted November 18, 2005 at 03:00 AM Posted November 18, 2005 at 03:00 AM Hi Y'all, Just a few notes: - These are mostly pre-release shots...so there may be a few artifacts in there that hopefully aren't in the final ones. For actual production shots see http://www.xsquawkbox.net/scenery/gallery.php - These were taken on a 1.8 ghz dual G5 with a Radeon 9600XT 256 MB and 1.25 GB of RAM. That's a pretty beefy system for a Mac, but not a true monster. In a lot of cases the framerate is low because I've overextended my settings to get a good screenshot. In the gallery link above are some shots both at very high and lower settings; we've designed the new scenery to work on a range of machines. Anyway, the new scenery should be out soon, and the X-Plane demo is free. *Cheers* Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luca Vetturi 874351 Posted November 29, 2005 at 03:15 PM Posted November 29, 2005 at 03:15 PM I've seen this scenery up&running at the MIFSS (Milan Flight Sim Show), thanks to the friends of X-Plane Italia www.x-plane.it .... ... and i have to say it's simply amazing. The highest detail i've ever seen, very very outstanding. Also new programs, new plugins, new airplanes and new sceneries are being developed for X-Plane, i think i'll have to buy it. XTower also rocks Red over white, you're all right. Italy vACC proud supporter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Fogliato 916495 Posted November 30, 2005 at 11:51 AM Posted November 30, 2005 at 11:51 AM Luca is right, at the X-Plane Italia stand at MIFSS we've had a lot of interest and great feedback to the Global Scenery (and XP in general - we were demostrating also new amazing planes such as the P180). A lot of people was surprised realizing that GS are "default scenery"... "What, no add-on? Default??". And we were not even showing it at extreme res. XP future looks brighter and brighter...

William Stuart 924159 Posted December 3, 2005 at 10:39 PM Posted December 3, 2005 at 10:39 PM I just received it! Default install, which includes the US scenery is 9.9gb. Haven't installed any other scenery yet, but the US scenery is great! Time for more flying. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
