Buy photo scenery from justflight........no this is not an advert, but before, with autogen and traffic I had 9fps. Now with the demo of photoscenery I am getting 30 (locked at 30)

Try the demo here

or see my pics here

It is a great improvement.

The loading times arent too bad either.

...Fine!....just don't try landing on the ground....
...you will be VERY disappointed at landing on a flat photograph.... Cry....!

I gave up Photographic scenery years ago when they were first released by Justflight...!

Fine for 40,000+ feet AGL flights, but for lower than 5,000 Feet AGL....forget it!... Shocked...!
...no trees...no buildings...no nuffin'...!

Paul....much prefers quality 2D/3D Autogen Scenery...Wink...!

I paid the princely sum of £29 for each CD of the areas covered by VFR Photographic Scenery from Justflight...
...They are just used as beer-mats now... Grin...!
LOL... Grin...!

Hi Mic... Grin...!

Photographic scenery is an amazing novelty....
..which unfortunately wears off if you are a regular low level Bush Pilot who likes to land in out-of-the-way places, and wonders where all the flippin' trees have gone... Shocked...!
LOL...!

Photographic Scenery has been discussed many times and its surprising how many have been disappointed with it after the high altitude novelty has worn off....especially after emptying their Piggy-Bank to purchase it... Cry...!

There are some free examples here at Sim V covering San Francisco and Los Angeles under "Scenery".

Tried them...quickly abandoned them... Grin...!

They really are fantastic providing you always stay above 5,000 feet AGL, but for low-level scenery hoppers they are confusing, and sometimes disappointing after a while... Shocked...!

Try before you buy...Wink...!

Paul...a 2D/3D tree-hugger....Wink..... Grin...!

Nahhh..

As I said in the posting I added to the other thread, it's far too bleak for me. Couldn't live with that I'm afraid.

...as a disappointed user of Justflights VFR Photographic Scenery; England and Wales, (in a previous life), I won't be convinced until I can view a Piper Cub making its way at ground level across a field and avoiding all the trees, hedges, and buildings in every part of the country.....and not just selected areas...Wink...!

My understanding is that this is the whole country, its not like the VFR Addons, and yes I know it has to be paid for, but if they can produce that then I will be well chuffed Grin
