Hangs & Lack of Scenery
I was really happy to see this update. Was really looking for the noted changes and performance improvements. Performance has always really caused me problems with this app. I have multiple monitors and quite a hefty setup for a Mac Pro, but it still likes to bring the performance down considerably. I am unfortunately still seeing performance issues with the Window Manager when using the app, so I dont think things really are resolved. I had to shut er down again. I found that even while browsing scenes that if the scenery was playing on the desktops I had to pause it or very serious hangs would occur while browsing. Further I found that hangs would sometimes happen even with the desktops paused. Odd and erratic behavior.
Further, I was disappointed by the lack of some additional scenery. It seems like they get a lot of big cities, California and high populous areas, but miss the truly beautiful locations on the planet. For example, Id really love to see some scenery added from the remarkable Appalachian Mountains, southern Ohio foothills, Hocking Hills in the fall (and summer), some of the more striking river scenes around Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee. These places are arguably orders of magnitude more beautiful than any of the included scenery so far.
