P3D v5 Germany Photoreal

[MatthiasKNU]

Hello everybody!

Some of you might wonder, what happend to my Germany-Project.
First of all: It is not finished yet.

And now I have bad news...
I won't continue to create the missing states.

Why?

And that's the good news now:
During my Africa-Project I have improved the scripts to create photosceneries.
So it makes no sense, to create the missing parts of Germany with the old scripts.
So I decided, to leave Germany as it is, and introduce a completely new version of Germany, Germany v2.
What will be improved in comparison to the old version:
- Sharper photoscenery
- Better watermasking
- No strongly visible color transitions
- Maybe - depends on filesize - 3 Seasons (Summer, Winter, Fall)
- Easier installation
- Smaller file sizes
- Faster processing (but you won't notice that of course )


And of course I also have a preview for you all!

Have a nice weekend everybody!

Wow - for once I am glad having waited and now watching this news! Thank you for all your effort, especially because ORBX will not do a TrueEarth Addon for Germany to my opinion anymore....

 

[MatthiasKNU]

Thank you all!
Yes, I also doubt that ORBX will bringt TE Germany... But I am pretty sure, that with v2 you won't need a TE Germany anymore!

Music to my ears, mate!

Hi guys!
I just wanted to show some pictures from the most beautiful state of the world! (Bavaria of course, for those who don't know! )
Vogtareuth:

The Inn near Rosenheim:

The Bavarian diamond mine:

... but is only cement...

Sachrang near the border to Austria (also a very beautiful state!)

The Bavarian Sea (the Chiemsee):

The "bathtub of the inhabitants of Munich" (Lake Starnberg):

Wolfratshausen:

The Bavarian Mount Everest (the Zugspitze):

as well as the Bavarian Kathmandu (Garmisch Partenkirchen):

Hi Matthias,

In V2, ave you managed to avoid placing autogen objects within airport boundaries?

Wiith V1 I have needed to manually annotate about 10,500 agn files.

 

[MatthiasKNU]

This problem should already be fixed in the newer packages of v1!

Personally I would prefer variant 1. I think you see more and the views are much nicer in Summer as far as photo imagery is concerned.

 

[BernhardS]

Definitely option 1. I prefer the better resolution.

 

[DragonflightDesign]

Option 1.

Dammit. I need to fit the spare SSD just for scenery.

 

[MatthiasKNU]

Thank you so much for your feedback, I also think that option 1 is the best.
So I think, you can expect Bavaria before Christmas!

I would have just summer and winter and leave out Spring and Fall but keep 1m resolution. Yea, a little bigger in size but Europe without winter would be

Don't worry, Matthias. There has to be a compromise. So it's not just no difference to TE Netherlands or GB, but actually FOR GERMANY! As I said, ORBX will never set its hands to it anymore to my opinion. So it's a great piece of a puzzle and to me the best part to sim with until FS20 release...

 

[MatthiasKNU]

Hi guys!

I'm sorry, I have a LOT of pictures today.
All pictures are completely unedited, so what you see on the pictures comes directly from the Sim.
It's going well with Bavaria, as you can see:
