Thanks folks. I'm glad you're enjoying it. And, thankfully, I thoroughly enjoyed the project. I lost track of how many manhours I put into it after passing 50. (After that, I really didn't want to know.) But it was fun to build upon what Mark and Steve had already done and make a flight sim video that, actually, had little to do with flying. I'm considering a video of Steve's Caucasus Tour but, if I do make it, it'll be after a break for other things.
After I posted, I realized that I was being stupid and uploaded the larger file, too. You now have a choice of which version to download. Be warned, though, that even the larger file is compressed, just a bit less so. It'll look better on a large (32") screen but is still far from perfect. The 26GB version with Huffy compression looks awesome at that size but I'm not uploading that--even if I was willing, it'd take a week and a half to do so. :)
For the purposes of the video, I cheated and set buildings to be visible at a much greater distance than I would if I were actually flying the sim. Tom Weiss's FPS mod has this statement in graphics.cfg under his "TOMMY" setting: structures = {30, 5000};. I altered that to read: structures = {1000, 10000};.
As far as the Groundpounder mod is concerned, my impression is that it's only the summer textures. I have it uninstalled at the moment, otherwise I'd take a quick peek and give you a definitive answer.
