This is a pic of a Spitfire V flying just off the south coast of England.

Here is a link to the 1024*768 version if you want it as your background (it is a link because of the image size limit):

It would be almost perfect if the landscape wasn't so flat. Come on microsoft, can't you even add some little hills to england? Sad

I was going to do a shot of the white cliffs of Dover, with Dover castle in the background, but they were not there. Sad

That is bad. Are your settings turned up enough to see them? If their not there at all there's bound to be a download to add them by now.

In that case, i suggest you hunt out a download for those cliffs. Trust M$ to forget them.

yeah, i agree mind.

They did miss out a lot of England as it should be. unfortunately, the only dlds i find for the UK are either new M$ payware or RAF bases rather than civil aviation add-ons!

thanks

It is a shame that most UK scenery is payware. I've got a nice mesh for the western isles though. So thats where I do most of my flying.

If there's a free UK mesh out there i'd be interested. Wink
