So you want photorealistic?
« on: September 04, 2009, 08:44:49 AM »
Enjoy....


This is what you can do with the new T.E. but just dont expect this in the MA's any time soon. Both screen shots were taken from about 10,000 feet, everything is full scale. The main runway is almost two miles long.....
 
:D

P.S. Dont mind the google earth icons, just to clarify its not a cropped image. The graphics are from G.E. and I did not want to spend hours getting cleaning them up. This is from ingame shots....

I'd be thrilled if we got rid of the arcade terrains and used something more realistic in the MA's.

There's something about a gigantic mountain erupting out of the ground at an 85 degree angle and soaring to 20,000 feet... it just doesnt do it for me.

Its Reno, Nevada...

    I got a wild hair and decided to try something....much to my surprise and amazement it worked! Realistically you can only have this for a 48 sq mile area, then it gets a little more complicated but still doable I guess. Even tho the level of detail is quite high its not that hard on my computer tho. However, I truly doubt this will ever be finished at this level of detail. I hadn't even planned on going much farther than this but the implications are quite cool. It was more to show what could be done if you really went all out....

It looks like Stead, NV. I recognise the go-kart track in the first pic :)

Yeah, technically it is considered Stead but its only miles from the better known city of Reno.

That go-kart track looks like fun!

I can do anywhere you want, its simply a matter of investing time. I have to crop several images together to make just one hires tile. With only 12 tiles available its impossible to make any sort of meaningful scenery. It wouldn't make sense to have a hires shot of a small city then have 3 tiles to do the rest of the terrain. About the only thing it does make sense for is air racing, which is what I am working on.
