Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Just a few weeks ago we were showing you Indianapolis and how much detail you can get in one scenery on a shoestring. Today we extend our series with one of the world's most fascinating cities: San Francisco! Take the Beaver for a tourist's favourite: A sightseeing flight from Sausalito's seaplanebase over the Bay area, Golden Gate, Alcatraz, Twin Peaks, Frisco Downtown and more! Not enough? Take off from one of the two helipads within the city, feel and hear its vibration, see well-known locations from innumerable movie shots here and end your day with a touchdown on a ship's helipad.

ckaack 1 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I guess `this nice scenery doesn't contain SFO airport, right? Bad is the missing night textures. Any plan to come later on with an update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any plan to come later on with an update?No SFO International, right (except for the seaplane base in Sausalito). Just have a look at the Google Earth map you find on the product page.Nicht textures are currently not planned because adding them to the existing database would take longer than the actual development process.Bests,Sascha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manhattan is just from a different and more expensive product range. We decided this mainly on customer interviews. When we asked people how often the fly VFR at night there is very little response. For bit iron landing at the nearby airports this probably is too much of a framerate eater with very little benifits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasa 921 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Now Megascenery Earth just came out very recently with a San Francisco photo scenery. I wonder if the Aerosoft San Francisco Buildings and Megascenery Ground textures would play nice with one another.......Actually there are already two products with aerial imagery covering the bay area: Taburet's and Newport's. The colors of those two and the default scenery merge very well with our SFO scenery while the colors of Megascenery seem to be quite bland. Unfortunately there isn't much we can do about that because we can't touch the sources of another scenery. Another customer just posted a screenshot showing the color differences:http://www.forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?s=...st&p=160929Bests,Sascha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice that SFO is, missing night textures being the main reason, just costs half as much as Manhattan? I'm sure that there are plenty of people who share our opinion that a city in this detail for just about 15 EUR does easily worth this low amount of money.Bests,Sascha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
