    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired

    The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

Terraflora is out!

I just discovered, Terraflora is now out and waiting for us at the Turbulentsdesign.co.uk!
 
Interesting! Thanks for the h/u. I'd also like to know how it compares to ORBX-trees, which I have.


Cheers,
Mark
 
I think you will find that Russell White who did these trees also was or is an Orbx scenery designer.

Cheers Chris
 
ORBX FTX Global Trees were done by Scott Armstrong.

The Terra Flora trees by Russ White have a different appearance than the ORBX FTX Global Trees, but I think it will come down to artistic preference. I can't say anything regarding performance with the new TF set, it is hard to benchmark, but FPS appear to be very stable and smooth after a brief evaluation.

I have both. I also have my own autogen WIP installed.

I like the idea of having choices, so being able to switch things up is appealing. IMO

Gordon,

No compatibility issues with Orbx Global or the regions?

Thanks

I've only got a few hours in the seat with the trees, but I don't see any issues...so far. If something pops up, I'll bump the thread. I don't anticipate any problems though. Russ White is an accomplished dev.

Thanks, will probably go ahead and get the package. Really liking the look in the different parts of the world.
 
I have done some short test flights in Costa Rica, Spain, England, France and Alaska with ORBX sceneries but with out their HD trees. I have not noticed any impact on the frames. They are an improvement, not a huge one, but enough for that money. I like it when the trees in different countries truly are different! I don't think I have wasted any money.
 
Greg Jones from Turbulent is in an active thread at Avsim. Doing a nice job explaining the technical aspects of the product including how it works, the limitations and uninstalling. Turning into a sure buy for me.
 
No ground textures that I can see at this piont . As you probably know Drzewiecki designs have a freeware grass
 
I am a sucker for world enhancements and purchased a copy, will post some screenshots later this weekend.
 
Saw in a YouTube video that TerraFlora did not change trees in the full FTX regions, can anybody confirm this?
