FS2004 Scenery query

[Techy111]

Mine was straight out of the box....not added any tweaks and it seems nicely rounded to me...but i haven't got my glasses on...Please let us know if there is a "fix"..?

Hmmmm....mine seems to have a blue tinge to the scenery...?

Here it is on mine... I have only installed all the stuff from the GenX V2 discs as I don't have the old Horizon DVD anymore as I sold it when I went to FSX.




Thats ONLY the stuff from the Genx V2 DVD's in FS2004 on Vista.

BB -
This is the post I was thinking of:

There is a Law about these things - "No matter where you start, it is always the third one from the other end"

I had a look at Gloucester 09 in my 'modern' FS9.1 install which has the VFGM Photoscenery with VFR Terrain, and in my 'Classic' install which has the default scenery with GW3 (? or SW?) textures and the FSGenesis UK Demo mesh. Your hill looks pretty right to me. I see my 'modern' one has been invaded by trees (Again! )
The red Cessna is in the modern setup, the other shots are in the classic one. Note the difference in the distant hills, and the ground immediately beyond the plane.

Many, many thanks to those who have helped me in this query.

After trying both sets of VFR Photographic now....the old 4 volume set and the new version 2 that is now 3 volumes and is on the GenX DVD, I can report that they are exactly the same.

The 4 volume set is flat UNTIL the addon VFR Terrain is installed on top.

The 3 volume set cannot use VFR Terrain but there is no need as they have included the Mesh in the 3 volume....something I did not realise until I compared the 2 installations.

The reason why I thought it was not right was because after using FSX at Gloucestershire...the increased mesh complexity had spoiled me and as a consequence when looking at the same area in FS2004 it looked rather primitive but then so it is. This is due to the reduced mesh complexity.....

The downside of the 4 volume set is that the Channel Islands have straight outlined coasts (only after VFR Terrain was installed)

The downside of the 3 volume set is that I cannot see how the favoured addon trees etc from vfraddon team can be installed as they are installed into relevant sections of the 4 volumes.....

So there we have it...the pro's and con's of both installations.....only took the weekend but I needed to know.

Thanks once again to all for the valied the help on this thread and privately.

Kind regards

EDIT:
Currently leaving the 4 vol set on....just found my coastline 'patch' that has put the Channel Islands back to the correct outlines.

As DaveB said...this patch with VFR Terrain may well cause other scenery corruptions but as yet not noticed them so far....any idea where the problem areas are to be found Dave?

Gotta admit it do look nice...especially on the dark side....

Brian..

I can't remember off the top of my head but I've a feeling some of the French coastline may now be square. It's worth noting that each separate load I've done of VFR Photo scenery has looked different in some way. On one pc, I have inland water at GUE where there should be none and I get a water mountain on Alderney. These have not shown on the v2 install I'm pretty sure the coastline fix and inland water fix also gives me more water on the mainland south coast than is currently present.. perhaps in 50 years time it may look this way!

Whichever.. the v2 install looks better to me having had all the necessary patches written in
