One of the reasons I like AFS2 is because they encourage community inputs. Just like the old FS9 UK VFR days. This is what I have in my AFS2 - mesh by GeoffKiwi (Ipacs forum) scenery (WIP) by me using LINZ data. I turned off the puffball cumulus because Marty hates it Full size here if you prefer: https://i.postimg.cc/DzqC1HSp/Aoraki-001f.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/d1w566ds/Aoraki-002f.jpg

Thanks and great shots!

I Built this PC over lockdown and some parts came from my old PC

I have My settings set at Ultra all the time, haven't measured FPS but would imagine it to be 35-45, although complex airports like the new Hobart etc. I turn it down to High end as frames can start to drop and sim stutters etc.

Hey Dash. I'm just curious as to what resolution you are using for your images? I find they take a very long time to load in comparison to other images on this site. Not sure if it;s just me but it seems to be the same on all my devices and various internet connections.
EDIT: I see that they are PNG image format. I wonder if a JPEG format might speed up the process.

Hey yeah as Doug says they are in 1920x1080x24b PNG - have to say I didn't even realize they were in PNG - I'll have a look at changing them as JPEG is better for everything

Is there an issue with PNG images versus JPEG Doug?

Couldn't agree more - but I like to set a cloud layer about 6000', for VFR
