Gibraltar area less detailed than in Store screenshots

I’ve noticed that the screenshots in the steam Store show a more detailed version of the area of Gibratar. In this screenshot I can see cranes in nearby the harbor of Algeciras, more ships docked at Gibraltar (some of them, old FSX models) and anchored in the bay. However those details are not present in the realease version. I’m wondering what is the reason behind that difference…

The main disappointment with LXGB is the Ocean Village area is not rendered well next to the airport, the Subborn Boat-Hotel is quiet a prominent feature and it would be nice if it was modeled better.

Also the east side of the rock is not modeled at all and the Caleta area is not present.

A bit disappointing as I’ve previously used payware scenery for P3D that looked a lot better.

However I do have to say from an easterly approach the rock looks very real, I hope the rest is improved soon.

What render settings are you on? Would anticipate different levels will show different details

We got bamboozled. They used a lot of rendered footage and screenshots that were not actual gameplay.

All set to ultra on my machine. I think the reason has something to do with the fact that those extra ships and cranes are old FSX assets ( I recognize the trawlers and a cargo ship from FSX) and maybe at some point the have decided not to use them.

I’m afraid this is shows the differences between development, marketing and sales.
Previews and promotional screenshots are in most cases not the same as what you get after buying a product.
Hopefuly we’ll see progress over time, just like in DCS and X-plane
