MegaSceneryEarth Switzerland

Great news from newsletter.

MegaSceneryEarth Begins Coverage Outside The USA - the first part will be Switzerland.

It will be in store from 1th October.

I understand that Megascenery is images only with no autogen so it would be probably cheaper.

Yep, but resolution of Megascenery will be highter. The best way take MSG phototextures and autogen from Aerosoft ;).
I dont know price of MGS - maybe 39$? Switzerland Professional X (Aerosoft) is 130 Euro :blind: .
 
Might work quite good with this autogen set from Openvfr. Their autogen placement was allready fine in their previous "Buildings" package, and this seems to be quite improved...

Looking forward to see their pricing, and than I might decide to go for a country to try it. Italy or Germany best, if they will do it.
 
My tired bones have done a lot of travelling at my country's expense, but did the Swiss, French and Italian alps on my MC. Can't think of too many places more breath taking!
 
I hope they make Italy - a good, global coverage of my beloved country is MUCH needed... we only have limited areas here and there (and some are excellent, with autogen and everything) but a global photoreal coverage of the Italian would be great and will surely get my euros.
 
I haven't bought the Aerosoft swiss scenery.
Tempted, but the price always cooled me down - too expensive for what wouldn't be one of my primary flying areas.
The megascenery package interests me.

I don't know if I'm the only person thinking this, but a Megascenery for the british isles could be interesting.
The current offerings for that region just don't agree with me, probably because of something about the colours.

Owen.
 
Problem with the Swiss scenery is that the country is tiny and the mountains are very high, which is a bad combination in FSX because if you fly along the mountain tops, chances are high that you see a lot of default scenery around.
On the other hand flying with 500kts through the valleys and zooming up at a 90deg angle with the Switzerland X scenery is a breathtaking experience.
 
I'm hoping this is a sign that they're working their way through Europe next. They ploughed through the US pretty quickly and the v2.0 stuff is pretty good.

France, Italy and Germany would be my preferences - I know that you can get stuff for France and bits of Italy, but I've never been blown away by the specs of the FranceVFR stuff and there are just way too many packages for me to figure out what I want!

At $30-40 a pack this could be quite affordable and they are always having sales too!

Funnily enough I was only watching my DVD copy of this last night...

(ps: the few beautiful screen are make with FSET, it's not the scenery, only here to compare the quality...)

Good flight ... on Switzerland pro,
serge.
 
Sorry, the screenies of Thun and its surroundings on their web site put me off. Photo real scenery just doesn't look right to me.
