Forgot to mention, before shots also included FSGenesis, except for photo
realistic Catalina (don't know if it's released yet, but this doesn't have
it)...

Got it today, and in anticipation made a trail flight from San Diego
Catalina LA Burbank back to LA LAX for some before/after shots.
Made the after shots about a few hours ago, and here's the results. Kept
the display settings pretty much the same, except autogen was turned to
min,
trying to keep the playing field level. Be forewarned, Megascenery takes
the liberty of changing the settings to where IT thinks things ought to
be.
I fired things up and it looked like I looking at lake relections through
a
camera star filter = mip mapping cranked up to 8. NOT with a ATI card,
unfortunately, or things would look absolutely awesome - or "gnarly" as my
grandson would put it. Turned it back to 4, and everything else where I
usually run it (full on, except water, and in this case autogen). Old
"before" shots are the top half, "after" shots on the bottom. Overall
it's
pretty neat, best at some altitude as Bill has reported, too bad I can't
crank up the mip mapping or it really would be fantastic (hear that
ATI!!!),
took about 8 min to load (same as Bill), and haven't had time to fly all
over the place, but here's a fair sampling:
