Thanks Mike smile.gif , this is one area and again I keep returning to .. you cannot beat photo-real .... I spent a good long couple of hours yesterday morning looking at Rob's GZ Subscription 6 photo-real Wellington ... if you have flown over this area or regularly do it ... its a 'welcome home' , you can never ever beat photo material scenery and autogened cool.gif

Thanks Rob , think it is the photo-real that proves it own, I'm working on a little screen package to post on the SOH of your Wellington SUB6 , lot off people ask for seasonal changes , Frankly I simply prefer it all being photo real .. simply something you cannot beat ! .... what you see is what you get ! And that is what make is SO COOL cool.gif

I am slowly coming around to the idea of seasonal textures, but there's still the issue of the file size -- at the moment the Subscription amounts to about 6.5 GB, which would be 25 GB with seasonal textures. And then there's the decision of what to match seasons to. And then, on top of that, there's still the very strong belief that New Zealand is some kind of English countryside all year round, green and lush, but take a look at those great Wairarapa airshow pics, that's what a lot of NZ is like for half the year. My desktop pic last month was an old shot of my kids at the Wanaka airshow, way back when, and it amuses me to have people ask why my Wanaka doesn't look like Orbx's green version.

I do like the concept of 'productX', I am thinking of changing my name to robx...

It was very nice for Frank to pass on the HU , it is amazing it taken to the guys over there enough even to get a footing, I personal know four people , one is a Kiwi and they live around Munich area ... think its the Beer smile.gif , another - Armin was a neighbour here gawd , five six years back and before he left to return home spent many hours watching FS and then the build , think it was Hamilton for Mike.
