just tried megascenery Pac NW and NY today, takes forever to load, maybe 10
minutes, hangs out at about 50%, anyone know anything about this? runs fine
when loaded, havent tried flying into the area yet. textures also dont look
to hot at low altitudes.

Are these supposed to better then stuff like fs terrain because they are
localized, and huge?

should USA roads be my top scenery layer so its above the mesh?

and to anti alias or not?

I understand that you can not see USA roads in the mega scenery region ..
for the other problems . need more system info .. could be a driver update
issue for video card ....

I've got...

ASUS AN78X-D Mobo
Athlon 2100 oc'd to 2700
gig ram
Radeon 9600 pro

I do not have the latest video drivers because the latest ones cause ASRC to
flash every time I type and that can not be fixed if you have the ATI
catalyst installed

Exactly. Also turn off the dawn/dusk extensions (or whatever it's
called). That'll fix it.

turn OFF "extended terrian" in the options, display...........
Then it'll only take a mere 3-4 minutes to load.. d:->))

thanks guys, I think I'd rather just stick with FS Terrain which is great
BTW then turn off some features which I really like. Already having FS
Terrain, I really didnt see a huge improvement with the megascenery, I
havent really explored it too much yet though.

Here's a couple of shots where MegaScenery PNW ends and the default begins
(or vice versa :)
The difference is striking when seen this way! My default also has USA
Roads BTW...

Precisely which one, oh lord of the fly specs...... d:->))
The Yakima5 shot hardly has any, besides the one main road to the left..
The border1 shot has them pretty well lined up..

Because photographic scenery is accurate....
