Hey guys,

Is ground environment worth the money? Im using fs9 and mainly I want to fix the autogen. Are the differences worth buying into?

Thanks,
John

Ground Environment is one of the greatest add ons for FS9. Especially when combined with some mesh and ultimate terrain.

It's great.... However, if you fly in Australia you're better off getting the freeware VOZ textures. Wink

Its never quite the same after GE, Ill didn't think all this scenery was really that important but the added realism makes the sim more exciting.

Its a great bit of software Smiley

Yup... that is an understatement.

It was WELL worth the HD space and the time (23 minutes pertexture set to create each) to generate a good assortment of new textures to match the weather. It is AMAZING what a difference that makes. You didn't realize what was missing.... until you see this impact.

best,
