Climbed to 13000 from KCNY in CAFB weather. The only anomalies I spotted were on the MOAB 210 radial at 21 dme - just about on a direct route from KCNY to Mesquite.  |

Out of all the pics posted I'm seeing the same in all but one. That is, the checkerboard type effect. The abrupt cutoff in the texturing. I know they did the whole world and it's not all going to be perfect. My very first Global flight was out of Norman Wells just to discover that the Mackenzie River is full of trees, then this shortly thereafter. Got to admit, with all the hype I expected more out of Global. Hopefully these are just isolated examples.

Although I have purchased both Global and Vector, I've yet to install them (need a new hard drive - no room!) so I can't comment directly on my own experiences. However, considering the surface area of the Earth is roughly 510 million square kilometres (197 million square miles), I think we can forgive Orbx for a few lapses in coverage outside their specialized areas.
Could be worse. They could have tried it for the Minecraft worlds. The largest maps in that game cover about 3.6 billion square kilometres. That's over 7 times the surface area of Earth! Ain't no way you're flying over that much territory anytime soon. Somebody crunched the numbers and figured it'd take about 4 million lifetimes to fully explore one map. Don't know about you but I don't think I have that much time left.
