Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51561 Posted August 27, 2008 Aerosoft Share Posted August 27, 2008 It's early days and we'll have much better shots in two weeks, but here are the first shots of Manhattan X, a completely new version of one of the best selling scenery products for FS2004. The new version is fully FSX and already looks like a new winner on our test systems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macroth72 38 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Congratulations Mathijs,I think at this moment you have the best scenerys in progress you ever have (Manhattan, London and Tahiti). I'm very glad that FSX scenerys now really get the way they shold look. Are there any airports or heliports included in the Manhattan scenery?

All three Manhattan heliports are available in pretty good detail. Note this (and the other images) does not show all the objects, it's all being worked on at this moment.

signmanbob 18 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Now London I've never been to, but New York, I have and this looks great. I was born in Manhattan so I can relate to this and it will most certainly be in my FSX collection of scenery (which mostly is comprised of airports, but I'm starting to add some cities).Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can park anywher and no parking tickets I don't expect too much problems, though you certainly should explore to overclock your CPU, you could easily make it run at 2 Ghz and that is 20% faster. Check here for some good tips on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbird 15 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 HI Mathijs thats great news! I use mostly fs9 but little by little I'm moving everything towards fsx, I don't mind having both sims in my system anyways, question I was very disappointed in that with mathhan scenery Andras kept the default Empire State Building, Chrysler building, Citicorp, Metlife and Woolworth buildings. and I had to replace them with the freeware by Tatu Kantomaa New York Objects Version 3.0 from avsim. and also had to replace the Statue of Liberty with the freeware Detailed Statue of Liberty Daniel Buechter statueofliberty.zip just wondering is there any chance the Andras will include new versions of theses very famous objects the default statue of liberty is horrible lol.

So that explains more or less why we done things as they were. Right now we are handling 4 times the bitmaps and face the same problems. Can't answer your question at this moment, do remind me later ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesChams 108 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Developers,Does the FSX version you are developing use a custom ground texture as it's base? Can this be used or removed in the final release for users of Flight1's UTX/GEX; which has a very good looking land/ground texture (compared with the default FSX one) and is corrected for the roads/AI ground traffic vehicles. I would like to be able to choose which one to use; because I want them to not only look correct but, line up correctly with the AutoGen buildings, etc. Thank you. I can't tell by this pic if it is the Default FSX ground textures or the Manhattan X For FSX one you are developing.Thank you for your ear's... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we develop we normally don't spend a lot of time trying to be compatible with products that cover large areas, compatibility with FSX/SP2 is the target. But most of the time we'll try sort it out shortly before release.We just got an image of the new high def lady... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that she is "lit" well at night and looks as stunning in the night time as in the day. Thanks for the info.; But another question; from a texture layout priority, If Manhattan X is set on a lower priority as say UTX/GEX, will it "texture-wise" be covered with its own native ground texture or one that is set to a higher number priority in FSX? I'm not sure how this works and was wondering if there is a way to enjoy the best of both worlds even if it is not customizable within the installation/configuration of the package. Thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
