Hi all,
With all the different scenery,landclass,mesh etc that is available for FS9.I was wondering out of idle curiosity what everybodies world looked like.
I have taken a series of shots from Interlaken in Switzerland using,
World Landscapes by Abacus,
Real Enviroment Pro
plus a multitude of freeware scenery enhancements from the net.
I was wondering if some of you would post some pictures of the Interlaken area to see if there are any real differences between the addons.
Please no stock pictures.
If any one else wants to see other places as well they could post pictures that we could compare.

Nice place - are there any freeware scenery upgrades for the airport?

Here's what mine looks like with a freeware mesh and Active Sky...

Hi Tom,
Do a search at Avisim for these files,
mafcad5.zip
and
gsteigwiler2004.zip
I have just found them and am downloading them now.

Here is some from mine. I use TileProxy almost always now, so its all photoreal. I usually use FS9 as it reloads the tiles faster.


Photos in order;
San Diego over Balboa Park, looking west towards Coronado Island.
Nantucket Island (or close to it)
Cape Cod penninsula
Colorado
Durango Colorado
Northern Phoenix over Deer Valley looking south.

Nothing beats photoreal for accuracy, but good textures can go a long way to creating good ambience.
These from Interlaken, stock except for textures:
Ground Environment Pro
Flight Environment

What you see may not be what I see, of course. I wonder how much each user's computer setup influences whether they prefer more colour saturation, crispness etc.
On a CRT I notice much harsher contrast than LCD for instance.

I tried TP in FSX, no dice. I like FS9 with UT-USA, FSGenesis mesh, GE Pro, Real Environment Pro, so I doubt I'll try TP. I have too much in FS9 to have to uninstall and reinstall it like I did FSX yesterday when TP fubared it.

Below are six screenshots, three from FS9 and three from FSX. Landmarks are pointed out, including my home. Check out how clear the golf clubs and cemetaries show up in FS9 using UT-USA. Where are they in FSX, even though I use YTX-USA and have them active? Check out the false fall textures in FSX versus the more correct early fall textures in FS9. And what the :censored: are those straight line right-of-ways doing in FSX, look like :censored:. Check out the difference they look in FS9, much more correct.

No sirree, FS9 has it hands down even without TP. Not to mention frames rates of 30 fps (where it is set) in all weather compared to 20 fps in FSX.

Wow...My scenery looks like garbage compared to those. I guess I need to invest in some decent scenery upgrades...:banghead:

Tile Proxy certainly opens up a whole lot of new possibilities. Here's my PC-7 over Glacier National Park, Montana. FS9 and Tile Proxy only here.

I don't fly there too often, but your screenshots are a powerful reminder that a good mesh is worth getting!
Hope we get some more flavours of the Interlaken area from different setups.

Hi all,
For those who like Interlaken area I would recomend this addon at Avisim,
gsteigwiler2004.zip
If you look at Willy's last picture it sits just inside the vally base.
Here is a little bit about the addon.

Interesting choice :wavey: I spent 20 Summers and a few other vacations in Beatenberg, just 10 km's from Interlaken, with a view on the old military base from above.

I don't think I have any pictures yet (will search my archives) but I installed the Flylogic photoscenery a few weeks ago and THAT really looks like the 'real' Interlaken :jump: I am not much of a photoscene enthusiast, but it really shines in the Swiss mountains !!!

Hey Francois,

Nice to see you visiting here. How would you compare the Swiss scenery to the France VFR stuff on the other side of the border? :ernae:

Hi all,
Francois I had an ulterior motive when I chose Interlaken.I spent several winters there in the late 70's.There were 3 castles that were within walking distance of the town.

Namely Weissenau,Unspunnen and Rothenfluh.
Was wondering if any of then showed up.But they unfortunately do not.
Heres a couple of pictures of them anyway.
I love castles.
