The RGB values look a whole lot richer compared to the picture which was posted a while ago? Which is great!

I like the different tree shapes and sizes.

The textures looks very nice and detailed form above, but could use a little more detail in the field areas, very monotone in places.

I must be doing something wrong.  I get 0 fps in windowed and full screen modes.

moot I had that problem too. I got a frame rate result by switching the time. The fr I got out of it though seems a tad high to me <g>.
Am running Vista home premium which could be the problem.

Beautiful! Only thing that bugs me is that some of the terrain textures seem to have shadows in them. I like the bump idea too.

Not to be greedy here, but will the beaches be refined or can we expect some kind of tide thing? It seems like something that wouldn't be easily seen from the air, but everything else just looks so nice that the beaches kind of stick out.

UPDATE - There is a new version now that fixes the clipping issue on the edges and also fixes an issue that caused frame rates on some machines to be wildly inaccurate.

Here's the latest version:  http://downloads.hitechcreations.com/gtester1.zip

I didn’t expect an update that quick.

If you have a low end comuter with no video card will the gray graphics in the test show up like they did in game or is HTC going to do something?

The 'at' value in display view info is altitude in feet, correct?

(with accurate constellations),
I noticed Orion (only one I can easily pick out :lol ) which begs the question... will the north star show true north?
