Sunday, 5 june 2011 @ 1 you know that town? that town with a name that makes you think of texas? indians? cowboys? yes, i’m talking about buffalo, the town close to one of the most spectacular natural sights in the usa: niagara falls.â it’s this town that i’m going to look at in this second instalment of ultimate city x. I will once again combine addons to get the most out of them and that way try to recreate buffalo as best as i can so that the approach to kbuf’s runway 5 will never be the same again. a general introduction to this almost review this article is not an ordinary review. Ultimate city: buffalo, is a new series of articles i write in which i cover various cities. In these articles, i discuss and combine various addons to create the ultimate city. While i do this, i review the products that i chose to use, but do note that because multiple products are discussed, this is not a detailed review like i use to do of products here at simflight or over at avsim. The main intention of this series of articles, is to show how you can combine addons to make something really nice, that will hopefully make it that more enjoyable to fly into the cities that are discussed.

After the good feedback i’ve gotten for the first instalment in this series ultimate city: chicago , i present the second instalment in this series: ultimate city: buffalo. To make an ultimate city, we need three layers of scenery: â â â â â â photo scenery â â â â â â detailed buildings for the skyline â â â â â â airport scenery. These three are not available for each city of course, and thus i will not be able to look at each and every city. Sometimes, there are multiple packages that we can use to build our city, and in that case i will try to discuss all available packages, but i will always end up choosing one that i personally prefer. You, however, are of course free to choose whatever you wish based on the screenshots and descriptions i give.

default buffalo it’s probably not much of a surprise, but default fsx buffalo is a bit sad compared to the real thing. The skyline of buffalo is virtually non existent, but there is one tall building that sort of resembles one of the buildings of downtown buffalo. Sure, it’s okay, and can be fun if you don’t expect too much, but in this article i set out to make buffalo the real thing. Default fsx buffalo is far from that, as you can see here: please note one important thing: the accurate roads are the result of installing utx usa, and the improved textures are due to gex usa. If you were to have an even more default version of buffalo than i have, it would probably be worse. choosing photoscenery searching for photoreal scenery for chicago, i found one product only: newport’s buffalo/niagara photoscenery, available at one of these two sites: how do you rate such a thing? i tend to look at four things: â â â â â â coverage area â â â â â â quality of the used textures â â â â â â included seasons/night lighting â â â â â â price.

coverage area the coverage area of newport’s buffalo photoscenery is huge. It goes all the way from downtown buffalo to some distance north of kbuf, and then all the way west, much past niagara falls. What you thus get is a huge square that gives us coverage of all the important places that we want to have covered in our ultimate city of buffalo. A photoscenery can encompass the entire world, but if it only looks good when flying at fl180, then you won’t want to buy it. Fortunately, newport’s photoscenery already looks good as a height of 20 30 feet. The resolution is of roughly 2 meters per pixel, which is somewhat good, although it’s not the best i have seen.

Below are some samples: some shots to show the resolution as well as the diversity of the terrain. Sadly, newport’s photoscenery is also haunted a bit by clouds that result in whitish discolorations on parts of the photoscenery. Even if they are not actual clouds, then it is some kind of haze, for the photoscenery get s a hazy look, as can be seen here: discolorations due to haze can be easily seen here and there. Something that i really like in this photoscenery, which i didn’t see in newport’s chicago photoscenery, is that watermasks and such have been added. Stuff like can be seen in the shots below look great, and especially for niagara falls, having this sort of stuff is almost a must.

I mean, niagara falls without foam on the water? watermasks and the combination with the textures gives some very nice views. While i was exploring the photoscenery, i found this: default scenery peeks through. It’s clear what we see: these are ground environment x textures, meaning that we are seeing the default terrain. Funny thing is, we even see the sort of gradual transition to the default scenery, but this is something we’d only expect at the borders of the scenery, as seen here: scenery border: soft transition to default scenery. I had some extensive communication with tyler newport about this, but he too didn’t quite know where the problem came from.

As it is, it is a bummer for me, since the error is right on the approach path of kbuf runway 5. It is because of this that i’m thankful for the big coverage of flytampa’s photoscenery that accompanies their kbuf scenery. All in all, the quality of this photoscenery is quite good and it’s certainly a step up from the chicago photoscenery. If not for the error and some rather blatant discolorations, the photoscenery could have been one of better ones out there. included seasons/night lighting the scenery includes night lighting, but no seasons besides summer.

While downtown buffalo and much of the surrounding terrain looks really great, there are some issues, as seen below. As you can see, even though it’s night, it seems like there is no night texture for some areas. Are those agricultural fields displayed correctly? all in all, i’m more than happy that there even exists night lighting for this photoscenery. On approach to kbuf runway 5, this night lighting looks great, and that’s the most important part for me, anyway. The price is â‚¬17,84 or â‚¬5,00, depending on where you purchase the scenery. While the former might be a bit high, looking at the terrain covered, the resolution and some of the mistakes and discoloration in this scenery, â‚¬5,00 is a more than worthwhile price.

Are the products worth their price? let’s recap prices mentioned are at the time of writing!:

June 4th, 2015 1 the 'masterpiece' is something that all too often announces itself, making its status quickly and sorely known, like the salesperson ringing a bell, or the overly long running time of some hit by numbers blockbuster. It can be so easy to fall into the trap on our end, judge a book by its cover, and go in under the preconception that a work is something special just because it says it is.

For music it fails as often as it succeeds just look at the poorly calculated likes of sandinista but then for every failure there's a sign o' the times. Where the grandeur, self declared 'vision' and extra length turn out to be absolutely deserved. Where the latest and longest album discounting box sets from prurient lands on the spectrum, is up for debate.
