There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Not directed at you, Mike. Just a comment in general is all.
Photo scenery is nice as a rule. My only gripe is that the extent of what I've seen (cities, roads, buildings, etc) the photoreal loses my likings due to the lack of autogen. From a high altitude they look great though.

I term photo scenery as "fly over" scenery. From takeoff to flight level, generally 1,000' and then from flight level to landing I'm not worried about the "flatness", as flying the plane takes priority over the visuals.
Autogen might be nice to have, but people don't appreciate the work involved, especially in a large scale project. I have a couple of payware addons for some islands sitting out in the Pacific, think Aloha! Autogen was added, but IMO doesn't really do much to enhance things. The developer could have spent the time removing clouds out of the imagery, rather than placing about 100 trees here and there.
Another consideration with autogen and photo work is that autogen takes rendering priority over textures. There's only so much that can be done in the rendering loop of FSX. If autogen is taking rendering cycles, that leaves less time for drawing in the sharpest texture level. I'd rather have sharp textures than a few oversized trees and buildings, that once at flight level do little to nothing for me.
