A flight over Mexico showing new biome colors and vegetation distribution.
Music By Rich Douglas (http://richdouglas.net)

These were once fertile lands... 'til weather waged war on man.
The seas rose...
The sun scorched the earth...
and the people fled.

But some....... remained behind.

Damn beautiful ... cant even imagine the outcome whyte rivers and clouds.

I was so expecting something at the very end. A small city. Some vehicles driving around..

Also you need to allow the UFO to get closer to the ground again. You can tell the camera hits it's chin on the ground and doesn't show off the moving grass enough.

Was this a scripted trip or did you just do it manually?

[KelvinNZ]

That is talent! Beautiful!

There's a new tool for flight path recording, where you can capture a flight and then adjust the individual waypoints and their parameters.

That looks amazing! Great work!

WoW, that is beautiful!Thanks!

Lovely.  Extremely!  Was that shot in real time, Brano?  If so, what were the specifications of the system that was used, if you don't mind sharing?

It does show one startling truth.  When man is gone, it's the pine trees that will take over!

He has posted this in the YT comments

"Real time at 30 fps on Radeon 6850. The entry velocity was >128 km/s, most of the flight then at 5.6 km/s"

Still think that the rock on mountains look too gray from afar.
I've been to Sequoia National Park in California(where the biggest trees in the world live) and the cliffsides look light gray to white.

Just saying.

 ... well, there will be still more and more updates on biome data ... Japan has too some places of inconsistent texturing and a lot of small unknown regions around the world too (not to mention terrain data in poles) ... it will go slowly to its place ...

Its a beautiful video and I've watched it more than once.

The only criticism I have is that very often the grass texture (when seen from a height) seems over-bright, almost like a Day-Glo paint color, or a green fluorescent safety jacket. Sometimes it works, but for me, its usually pretty artificial looking. I hope that somebody in development agrees and adjusts the color eventually.

Some time ago, cameni posted, that there should be a conversion for the raw data to make the colors more realistic.

Cool! I just commented because interest seems to be ramping up a bit with videos and mentions everywhere, and people seeing it might wrongly have that as one of their first impressions.
