I was quite happy with my recent repaint for the HunHunter, especially the shots I took over photoreal Corsica, that I thought I'd look for photoreal Italy, where the real HunHunter was active.
Turns out that Fulvio Mazzokan is busy producing freeware photoreal textures for entire Italy for FS9, but they work in FSX too. All you need is a very big hard disk...
The resolution is not as crisp as I'd like, and the colors seem what flat, but if you stay high enough, and add a few clouds, it looks real nice. To see the difference, just look here:

I have seen your work and totally have always believed in complete photoreal scenery , currently helping with a new area in New Zealand , maybe one of many , myself targeting the autogen , this new region covers photoreal build of Hamilton Airport , a custom built city center and the region .

Photoreal...no question. I don't think there's any comparison.

You most certainly do!

Meanwhile, I'm happily downloading all of Italy (HD still not full) and cruising all over. As long as you stay high, and zoom out a bit, it looks just brilliant!
Judge for yourself, first shot shows Elba and Corsica in the background, last one has the Lago di Trasimeno in the background:

Mazzokan's work is incredible. I have them all in FS9 and now that I see they work In FSX, boom, off I go looking for my Mazzokan DVD.

The colors of his photoreal textures seem more vibrant in FSX than in FS9.
