Well its out, who's first?

LOL... This is supposed to be the biggest and greatest thing since flight simulator...:bs::mixedsmi:

Sounds cool, but there's no way that it lives up to that sort of hype.
 
I can see it living up to some of the hype. My question, do they really have that high of detail scenery available for the whole world, I doubt it.

If this is as good as tile proxy and it includes autogen, I will definitely be trying it out. I really have little interest in flying around the US, so I'll wait till they have some more interesting areas ready to go.

Time to go get a few new harddrives, LOL.
 
No autogen, no sale. No autogen = tile proxy as far as I am concerned. They shouldn't call it MegaSceneryEarth as well... considering the whole Earth isn't rendered. I think someone on another forum equated what little they have out now to like $150?

I'll pass at that price.
 
It says they are building the US, then moving on to the whole world.

My question is, at 1/2 cents per square mile, or even 1/4 cents per square mile, how much is that? Hmmm... 150 million square km times .36 square miles per square km times 1/4 cent per square miles equals ... 13.5 million dollars.

Oh, sorry - 135,000 dollars - that was pennies earlier.

Sign me up! :icon_lol:

This is far too expensive for it to be worth it... Tile Proxy offers much more at the moment and is free.
 
I think they need to do a bit of marketing and convincing if they want this to succeed. I'm surprised I didn't see a single screenshot anywhere on their website.
 
So the cat finally figures out how to get out of the bag & this is it?
Not much there, and for the area I normally fly in I'm already covered with the megascenery I own!

One note...at 1/4 cent per square mile ($0.0025/mile^2) 100 square miles would be $25. It has promise, but it's too early for me.
 
Wait... I just read it had autogen. Where are the pics?

Yeah I am willing to give it a try as soon as someone gets some pics up. Maybe the scenery can prove my opinion as being pre-emptive. I hope it does as I was looking forward to such a scenery.
 
Actually... thinking about it, this stands to make a killing. Anyone can download their home state when this is all said and done. This has something for everyone. I'll keep my breath bated. I'm still waiting for screenies. Their advantage however is they just hit everyone in the gut with where THEY want to fly. To a single person, this might not be that big, but as a community, with all the sales, this could make a killing for them.

I'm going to watch this closely.
 
No pickies, no sellie! ie. No screen shots I'm not interested. No NY either......yet. Bet they do that cesspool NYC first.:costumes: Could be ok, but it says wait an hour to load.......? I'm not waiting that long. Who plans a flight that far in advance?:icon_lol:
 
I would say that over time they will do quite well. I would be interested to know how quickly it loads, and how it does on frames. I have the FS9 SoCal version 2 scenery now, and it does okay after I wait the 10 minutes for it to load!:173go1:
 
I get Area of earth = 148.3x10^6 km^2 = 57.93x10^6 mi^2

Average price = $0.005/mi^2

Earth Landmass= $289,648.
 
Under 8.00 isnt bad for Door County. I would summarize it might be a improvement over the default. Anything for WI would be better then default.

I'd rather wait for the fox valley and green bay areas though... :kilroy:

Did you get Door County? If so, could you post some screenshots? How about Egg Harbor?

Nope not yet waiting on the boss (wife ) to get home then im sure she'll let me. She nows how much i love Washington Island.
 
Whats good about this is that you 'have' it on your HD. With Tile Proxy, its temporary cash. I tried very hard to get Tile Proxy cash to save to the HD, but it wouldnt. I think the bitmaps must be read by TP in order to be seen and work in FS. So then, if you are flying with TP running, it has to download the high rez versions as you fly over.. Still have a huge wait time. With this (MegaEarth or MSE), you have the terrain pre-textured already.


I would love to have 'all' of Arizona, lol.. and all of Colorado.. and Cape Cod/Martha's Vineyard/Nantucket.. Oh man...

It would be cool if they did 'package deals' such as 'entire states' or entire countries.. Lets say France, England, Texas... Rounded off prices.

That would be cool...


So.. Good to know what the secret turned out to be. :d With my imagination, I had all these wild ideas going in my head, lol... This seems cool and realistic.


I was flying Tile Proxy last two nights. Once you fly photo real scenery, its so dang difficult to go back to stock, blank scenery...
