Hi all,

About time I took the wonderful Hunter out for a sortie today. Departed Honington and spent most of the duration around the East Coast. Here's some snippets.

Hi Eddie

Nice pics :smile:

I take it that's FS.X?

The penultimate one is very good indeed and could pass as a photo :welldone:

Thanks for these :smile:

Nice Eddie :wink:

Garry.. I'd say it was FSX looking at those sea textures. They really are the most realistic I've seen :smile:

Now here's a thing, its' been found that the FSX water textures are the same ones as Fs9 (from discussions over at Screenshot art & Sim-Outhouse),so the differences are elsewhere in the game engine.

Great pics though Eddie

Well.. that's wild considering just how different they look :shock: I'd not be surprised to find the low res textures are the same as they do look similar.. especially when flying low over them at night.. a real acid trip (where's that spew icon gone) :roll:

Hi Dave,
Joao Paz (at Outhouse) did the experimenting, according to him, the differences between the two sims (FSX vs Fs9) is that FSX has some additional bump maps in 'DDS' format,which can only be processed
in FSX as Fs9 doesn't support that format.

The OceanHeightField.bmp is also processed differently, so's to remove
the 'cycling' of waves that is seen in Fs9

Tks for that Pete :smile:

The annoying thing is that I've paid for the same textures twice in that case! :lol:
