So many good pictures already but I just wanted to share this awesome multiplayer moment we had when we flew over this drop off and had our jaws drop when we saw what beauty lay ahead of us!

No idea, personally.

And for information, our forum system tried to send you your confirmation and the email gets refused too... strange. Something may be fishy with your computer's setup somehow ???

I have confirmed your registration manually, but cannot send you an email to confirm it.
 
BananaBob,
your screen shots on page 2 of this thread show the most realistic water I've ever seen in FSX, especially the shots of the Beaver and the Bell immediately after it. I also noticed a comment somewhere in this thread about "Holger's water texture". Please could you tell me whether the water shown by your system results from the Tongass scenery and / or some other addon you've installed (possibly REX which you mentioned). Note that I do not yet have FSX installed, and one reason is the weird look to water that I've seen in many screen shots, so I have no idea how FSX handles this side of texturing,
regards
Ro

I think they did their own waterclass for this addon but not sure, I do have REX installed and you can change the bump mapping of the water and I have it set on "sparkle" I think, you can also mess with the colors too and I've tried many but am happy now at the moment. I do love the way the water looks there and if it is a waterclass or something like that, I wish it looked like that everywhere. :ernae:
 
BananaBob,
thank you muchly for that, and I couldn't agree more about wishing it could look like that everywhere ...
regards,
Ro

Bill, Francois & Bushpilot....thanks for the repply, I tried Registry Fix, no luck. I cannot reinstall FSX or FS9. It's either my CDROM or WinXP is corrupt.

I wonder if the developers would consider a "demo" download of, say, a few square miles of the scenery so those of us with medium level computers could evaluate it and decide if it is right for us...It could be time limited or whatever...I would just like to be sure I can run the scenery before I lay out almost $40...Thanks,

I doubt we could swing that, Steve. Due to how the files are structured and arranged, it would be an enormous task to split out a small area. If you're concerned about how it'll run on your rig, my best advice is to buy the Flight1 wrapper version, which allows for refunds if it doesn't work for you.
 
Yes, we use the Flight1 wrapper (and financial handling) on our own website.

But even so... if FSX runs well on your current PC, then Tongass will not be a real problem either.
If FSX does NOT run well on your setup, then maybe you should reconsider.

Kind regards,
Francois
 
Bill and Francois: Thanks for the replies...I hate to buy something and then take it back (!)...FSX runs well on my machine with what I would call medium/medium high settings, so I just might give Tongass a try! Thanks again,

Steve
 
Holy crap, I just had my first flight north of Peterburg in my new Scout (bought it together with the Duke last weekend). This must be the perfect plane for the region. Insanely fps-friendly and superfluid gauges. I was able to crank the scenery up another noth and still enjoy 25fps with 4xS AA and 8x AF - and I'm flying on a subnotebook here...

Just bloody brilliant - scenery as well as plane. I can't say when I was this impressed by the combination of scenery and plane in FSX the last time.
