Comparison of Reality and Simulation

Wow Jake - very impressive build! Are all your buildings custom or do you have some scenProc autogen mixed in? Also, any tips on night textures? I've started experimenting with a football stadium and would like to add night lighting from the stadium lights.

Thanks guys! Ken, some of the models are autogen for now. Mostly all are custom. I will make a tutorial video real soon on how I create night textures using GIMP photo editor.

Hi Guys,

Yesterday I finally bought Florida South. First thing I had to try was Marathon...

...because, two years ago with an Archer:

So, still lots of auto-gen (like houses that are not actually there) and poor ground textures. One day these will be fixed, but for now I will live with lower FPS with XP11.

Yep

I fly almost every evening after finishing work at least 15-30 min. At the one side it's the best way to find all the bugs, at the other side because it's just fun.

I don't know the area, but if you look on Google Maps:

I think you'll see the DLC has buildings in the right places. kai503 did say that he took his picture 2 years ago. A lot of buildings crop up in that time!

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the forum though...

Google Maps looks the most unreal of the lot!

Hi all,

Here are two more pictures to compare.

This is Orbx Chicago, picture taken at higher altitude

This is the real Chicago, picture at lower altitude

I spent a couple of days in a village called La Forclaz in Val d' Hérens in Switzerland. Back home I flew with the R22 and landed on a place where I have taken a picture in order to compare the real world with Aerofly FS2.

Great Comparison Tom, the area is so beautiful. I wish to visit Switzerland in my lifetime.

Thanks Jake - you are always welcome, and don't forget to take your board with you!
