Hey there,
Since there doesn't seem to be anything new coming down the pike for awhile as far as aviation sims are concerned...I've got a little spending money saved up and I am thinking about getting the Hi Res Tile pack for F4AF.
Could anybody who has already purchased it give me a little input. Do you enjoy F4AF more?? Does it really improve the terrain graphics, or is it a minor improvement?? Would you recommend buying it or not buying it??
The choice I am facing, is do I get the Hi Res tile pack or the Terrain Pack just released for Wings over Vietnam.

Thanks in advance
Tracy

On a scale from 1 (bad) to 10 (great) I would give Tom's HiRes-Tiles a 12. It's absolutely amazing how much Falcon changes with this new terrain. And for what it costs, it's a bargain. Ah, and his support for his customers has been simply outstanding in the past.

So yes, I do enjoy AF more with HiTiles. Yes, it really improves the terrain. Yes, I would definitely recommend buying it.

Just an idea of how Tom's support goes. I had a computer hiccup and lost a lot of information and I reformatted the system. Along the way my external that had everything stored also quit responding (stupid USB hardrives :rant: for another day) anyway I emailed Tom and he sent me another download link. Support kicks Ass.

The tiles are sweet, I can not fly without them.

Heck, for $12 US you really can't go wrong. I'm downloading as I type this.


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

Yes Toms Hi Tiles make a big difference - you even get 4 seasons to choose from - you cant go wrong.

As for WOV I think Deuces Enhanced tiles (free from http://www.sfmods.com /) are really good so havnt bothered with Edwards payware ones yet. Will probably get his for WOE though.

Yea Tracy The Hi Tiles ROck there easy to install and unstall when new patches come out "1.12?" I wonn't fly without them either! It was the best 12 bucks I spent. Tom is right on the money if you need any help or one of us falcon Junkies will be glad to I'm sure.

Well, those are certainly ringing endorsements !!! I had know idea they made that much difference. But for $12.00 you really can't go wrong anyways.
Thanks for all the feedback.
And I will also take a look at Deuces enhanced terrain for wov while I'm at it.

For RV, you must use the "old" HiTiles Classic. Contact me for a "downgrade" offer for HiTilesAF customers (66% off). It's the same terrain textures, but a completely different installation process and terrain data/remix - also a bit less polished :-)
