Dear Steveli!
Great work, congrat! You made the FIRST (at least for me)nice photogeomertry scenery. I hope you will continue this amazing work. I think this is the only future of flightsims to be as lifelike as possibble. Hand made sceneries can't match with this level of quality. I even like the trees which are the weakest pionts of photogems (in most case). To all others, please don't make photogem scs less than LOD20, they are ugly on low altitude.
Is it possibble to control /edit what distance LODS come up? I play in VR, I have a RTX3080 and with HPG h145 it start to sweet and some time deatails come a little bit slow. Anyway I deleted all objects from Budapest....this started a new area.

Dear Steveli! Encouraged by your example, I tried to make the missing southern part of Budapest - but with a LOD of 17-20, the result is something awful, not even close to yours. What I use: Earth2MSFS (https://www.reddit.com/r/FS2020Creation/comments/j3faaj/google_earth_decoder_now_userfriendly/) and Thalixte Blender python scripts (https://github.com/Thalixte/Google-Earth-Decoder-optimisation-tools). If it is not a secret, would you tell me what tools and settings you used to make Prague and Budapest? Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm glad you work on the extension of my mod. I use the same tool as you used: Earth2MSFS and Google-Earth-Decoder-optimization, and I used LOD18-20. Alos, I did a color correction and image sharpness enhancement using Photoshop.
Would you please post a couple of screenshots of what you did?

Thanks for the quick response! Unfortunately, I wiped out the South Budapest scene in my anger - I decided to start over, so I don't have a screenshot. But in the other cities I have "committed" there is also a huge difference between the quality of you and my party - and unfortunately not for my benefit ... :-) Eg:

Dear steveli!
I finally managed to make the southern part of Budapest in good quality, (see the Gallery) the ratio of the size of the area to the size of the library is approx. is the same as Yours (I used Thalixte's algorithms) - but FPS is only approx. half / third (At you (budapest_s): ~ 35-40, above my scenery ~ 15-20 FPS) Do you have any suggestions or advice on how I could make it smoother? Thanks in advance:

Hey, this looks great, thanks a lot!
Just one question ,as the different filenames in the download menue confuse me a bit:
Main File 1.2 January 23, 2022 - 1.84 GBBudapest_further north1.1 January 16, 2022 - 1.53 GBbudapest_s_v1.11.1 January 23, 2022 - 1.91 GBWhat are we supposed to download?
Only the Mainfile (version 1.2), or also the "Budapest_further north" (showing version 1.1)?
Or still all 3 files, as it´s mentioned in the discription text?
It´s my first install for this addon, to be sure.

Thank you so much for your hard work!
this is incredible!
Would you be able to expand it so as to fill the gap between the downtown and the airport? as you've done for Prague.
It will be the perfect combo with the Lhsimulations airport.
best regards.

Hello
Excellent.
Everything is ok, except two huge green patches on the Danube. My Icon A5 almost gets stuck in them (as in a swamp). When I manage to get out one of them, I "collide" with the river as though there was a tidal wave.

Now this became one of my favorite cities for flying. It even ended looking better than Prague. I hope you do your version of Vienna, Zagreb, Belgrade, Bucarest, Ljubljana, Berlin, Warsaw, all the ones you want jaja

Wow this looks amazing!! I'm very surprised. I wish London looked like this. Great job, congratulations, I'll be following you very, very closely :-)

Very nicely done, and for such large files (which was necessitated by LOD20, not the authors fault), the optimization is surprisingly good, the performance is better than expected! At this resolution you can fly helicopters and still have a decent image to look at, not just a blurry mess. My only (little) complaint is that the night lighting could a tad be stronger. Plus an even wider coverage area would be great (maybe in the future?), however the most important parts of the city are well covered. It's beautiful to look at, with everything being done to mitigate the inevitable performance hit. Great job, renewed my interest to fly over my home city!
