I am strongly considering purchasing Ground Environment. Would it be a worthy investment?

i purchased it recently and its one of those programmes which is awe-inspiring. It keeps the same frame rates as before, but re-arranges the autogen and scenery, to reflect the environment better. i.e. instead of random buildings and houses, it groups them together to form villages and towns and does the same with tree lines and forests.
Its little touches and changes which make fs seem more real! defo a great buy!

If you buy GE Pro it will even change the colour of the ground depending on the type of weather. So when there is a lot of sunshine you have brighter colours than when it's raining.....

Do it! It's one of those add-ons that will make a difference EVERY time you fly..

Some changes are subtle, but some make the world of difference, such as the newer option (for those living in Europe) of having Dutch farm textures applied to the rest of Europe. It reflects the structure of UK towns and cities much better than the US model.

I have nothing but good things to say about GE over the 2 years I have had it, one of the most worthwhile investments I have ever made...
