Prepar3d V2 Screenshots

It's great to see your superb work now officially in P3D Dino, congratulations!

I was at the flight sim show a few weeks ago here in the UK and someone was asking one of the dealers whether he could buy a Lightning II. I quickly chipped in and said don't bother, get Dino's instead. Top class payware quality, but free! He went away with a huge grin on his face... :D

Not really - I provided the F-35A free-of-charge to LM. I
t is a basic, weaponless, F-35A only model.
It is a (slightly) downgraded version of the "official" package - I am happy it is part of the package and I hope it contributes to its success. But most of all, I am thinking about the fact that this may help raising the interest of youngest "users" - and increase their enthusiasm in Learning about aviation.

Aside, I will be upgrading all of my fleet so that it will fully compatible with P3Dv2... the first in the line is the T-45.

Your sentiments are well placed and inspiring. In fact, I've got time on my hands and have been wondering how to best use it. You've given me some ideas. The EAA Young Eagles Program can always use a new volunteer. Grazie amico dell'aviazione. (I used an internet translator.) Best regards...
 
Trying to bring the post back on topic... two P3DV2 "maxed out" screenshots of default content, plus two WIP pictures of a T-45C update I am working on...

I wanted to show this screenshot. There is so much in it that you wont believe. It looks horrible (not artistic) but the details I want to show you.


First, I am flying away from the sun, early in the morning, the sun coming in through the back window. From there, you see the sunlight reflecting off my front LCD screen (very harsh as like it would be in real life). See the steering wheel shadow on the panel leather? See the shadows all around?

Now, if you look carefully, you can also see a shadow or reflection of the rudder on the windshield (I am certain its a shadow). The shadow is under that overhead tab thing, top left in the windshield area, a bullet looking thing about half way up. I think it was showing on the prop. That means it was going through the rear window, around the rudder, over the instrument panel and between the seats, through the front window, and onto the prop disc.

DO YOU KNOW HOW SOPHISTICATED THAT IS???????????????????????

DANG~!!!!!!



I really like how it reflects off of the various LCD screens though.

@Lionheart

LockMart guys did an AWESOME job on the shadowing. Yesterday night I spent twenty minutes just looking at shadows while my aicraft was moving up and down on a lift of Javier's Nimitz.


@Francois

P3Dv2 default content is basically the same as "vanilla" FSX. Good news is that the vast majority of add-on sceneries and aicrafts are compatible right now!
 
This sim has got to be the best thing yet for taking screenshots... I could never take screenshots like this in V1 or FSX. The detail level is incredible, and yet its the same resolution. I cant figure it out.

The seams on the tops of the yellow Fairchild are perfectly visible.

A few more. Sorry.. Addict here... Like having a new camera that takes better screenshots then you ever had.

I am using the 'V' key to grab the shots, then import them to Photoshop and convert them to highest stage JPG, crop and save.

Not the best quality shot as it's been compressed by facebook but it shows off the real time shading nicely.

Apart from my own aicrafts, in my screenshots I have used:

U.S. photoreal scenery from Bluesky for FSX - works perfectly with P3D and it free and absolutely on par with commercial ones...

http://www.blueskyscenery.com/download.html

Tuscany from OZx (includes North Tuscany, Elba Island and other minor islands nearby)...

...was hosted here: http://aussiex.org/forum/
...but does not seem to work at the moment I am writing.

Grazie Dino !!

Made a flight over Umbria and it is already looking better after I went through all the settings..... my X52 throttle is not working yet, will need to read Bill's tips once more.
The shading and clouds are GREAT indeed ! :)
 
Just to illustrate the graphic evolution using the Nevada section of Bluesky Scenery without any modifications ;-)pd3dv2-2.jpg
