fabs79 124 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Fantastic shots, Iain! Could you do some of Speyer and Freiburg, too, please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mopperle 59 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Like to see some real dense areas like Frankfurt, Stuttgart or Munich. But looks really great so far, close to photoreal without its limitations. Edited September 4, 2017 by mopperle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GoneMissed 0 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) G'day Iain, I apologise as I imagine you've answered this many times before, but may I ask if you are using a particular PTA preset? Your screenshots are excellent. Cheers, Joe. Edited September 4, 2017 by GoneMissed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pmb 898 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Kudos to you Iain, but also to the developers who obviously have done a great job. This is top-notch. Kind regards, Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sun_king_135 21 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I'd love to see the Nuremberg area. For me a day one purchase as well. Kind regards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turboarrow4 198 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Fantastic shots, Iain, keep'em coming. You made my day :-) cheers Thorsten Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fischkopp 313 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) The scenery looks very good. Very good work of developers and designers.But I would have a small point of criticism. The illumination of the Ulm Cathedral is too violent. It looks if the dome glows from the inside (almost like a volcano).I think it would be better (if possible) to illuminate it with Dynamic Lights from the outside for P3D V4 and for the earlier versions of P3D and FSX to reduce the luminosity in the LM file .

Hello Joe I don't use PTA or anything else only ORBX and REX Enhanced and of course P3DV4 in use on my Flightsim machine what you see in the shots I take are straight v key shots only. cheers Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volkira 10 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Looking forward to flying down the Rheingau between Wiesbaden and Lorchhausen doing the castle tour and flying over all the Reisling wineries. Looking forward to seeing Frankfurt city.Should look good with new Frankfurt Airport X. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And of course monitor settings/calibration do matter, which is often overlooked. My monitor has some presets with one of them looking like cartoon (no, I didn't select it ).

Sid 96 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Yeah, I'm really excited and very much looking forward to all the castles and rivers too! Your water looks absolutely stunning in these shots Iain...very nice settings you've got set there Developers look to have put in lots of lovely details by the looks of these early shots! Also great that Jarrad's FTX Innsbruck masterpiece will only be just a short hop across the border after we have this in our sim world.

Vora 171 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Wow, I often fly over Ulm in RL and this is absolutely believable. Great work, all. Manfred is right that the night lighting of the Munster is a tad too flashy. A little desaturation and darkening might do wonders. http://www.fotocommunity.de/photo/ulmer-muenster-bei-nacht-bandi/26782052 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
masterhawk 13 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 On the last shot I can see the "Deutsches Eck" where the river Mosel goes into the river Rhein.

European Mountain Man 5,174 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Wow Iain really looking forward to this release the team has done a fantastic job yet again where would we be if we did not have orbx flight sim would be very bland and boring with out orbx scenery thank you orbx regards stewart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meerkat 39 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Looks great! One little issue that the devs surely are already aware of: on the first Koblenz image you can see a texture mapping problem on the roof of the building in the forefront. Looking forward (especially to some Dresden pictures ). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pmb 898 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thanks Iain, much acknowledged. Sometimes keeping things simple may lead to better visuals than a host of interfering texture and shader addons (granted, from time to time I have to remind myself of this rule). As a sidenote, your settings are certainly not suitable for an underpowered system . Kind regards, Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AnkH 238 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Might have been asked already, but where are the southernly boarders of this scenery? I mean, does it end straight at the boarder of Germany? Lake Constanz? I am asking because I use Switzerland Professional X also in v4 and honestly, although as a Swiss, including Switzerland in a product called "Germany South" would be embarrassing, I would love to finally see a up-to-date scenery product of Switzerland...

You can find the exact coverage of GES in my post of onther thread, see the attachment (you need Google Earth for that). Holger had posted it months ago. 19 hours ago, Vora said: Use Google Earth search and you'll find it.

I can tell you right away that ca. 5% of the extreme north of Switzerland is covered. This includes Basel, Baden and Schaffhausen, but not Zurich, Winterthur or St. Gallen.

Nontheless it is one of the outstanding geographic landmarks of germany, being the southernmost point. I do have LOWI, but I'd expect something like this to be included in a full fat region. Considering that you seem to be from that area, I'd say you do too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
