Hi, I got X-Plane 11 in early august and I love it, I am very excited for X-Plane 11.10. I have got Ortho ground textures for North America, Sadly cant fit the rest of the world. Anyways. I am not happy with the default Ground Textures and I see why Ortho is so addictive. I used to be on FSX:SE and the sim's default ground textures were better in terms of realism and overall good texturing if you know what I mean. I understand that FSX and P3D use a method where they repeat patterns and certain photoreal pictures throughout the landscape and I think thats better and I was wondering if there will be updated ground textures for X-Plane 11 in the future because Ortho is way too big.
Another thing I am wondering if you guys will be adding Seasons into the sim in the future (hopefully in the near future) and I know there are certain freeware addons for Winter but again the winter textures only add a white layer to the ground and Id like to see nice ground textures with patterns and stuff in the ground if you know what I mean. So Im wondering when we could expect seasons cause I really miss seasons.
Another big thing is Trees. Ive noticed X-Plane lacks "tree density" the trees are really skinny and dont really cover that much land which ruins the effect of it looking 3D and like an actual forest. I was wondering if the trees will be improved in the future.
2nd last, Jetways are a pain when I there is no "autogate" plugin at the certain airport. I was wondering if there will be animated Jetways added to X-Plane for every airport rather than having to use a plugin that only works at supported airports.
Lastly I was wondering if you guys are adding Real landmarks and not just the iconic ones. Im talking about reigonal areas like Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada. I remember it is in FSX by default so Im really hoping you guys will be eventually adding more real life landmarks.
