I am thinking about buying some scenery, London and othe major A.P around the U.K
Is it worth the money and how realistic are they.

Thanks.

For London scenery.....VisualFlight London
I have this package, bu because my graphics card sucks (RAM needs upgrading too Roll Eyes

), having it anywhere close to looking good rapes my frame rates big-time! ><

As for major airports, I'd probably go with UK2000

UK2000 is surprisingly cheap considering how good/accurate ~~some~~ most of the airports/airfields are

Cheers,
Carl

Yeah, it's hard finding decent payware addons with low spec machines. Sad

I just tried the VisualFlight London scenery again, this time with the settings at minimum...better FPS and not too much loss of detail either.

Still need that RAM tho Sad

I'm trying to work on a freeware one that won't be as resource heavy, bu I'm new to design...so y'know... Wink

I'd still recommend the UK2000 airports tho Cheesy

They're not too bad on frames and pretty realistic too
