RAF Valley-Filton with Hawker "Hunter" T. Mk. 7

This is not a story, a demonstration of Horizon VFR Photographic Scenery only. Some people think, it is not possible, flying fast over fortographic Scenery´s...

[Splitpin]

Amazing .....Ive grabbed the one over the 2 bridges as wallpaper, if you dont mind.
Great screens, and the perfect aircraft for the job.

Would be superb scenery if it was autogened , you can never beat photo , I played around with Hawaii agns from the Mega scenery package few years back , it really tidied the photo real scenery up but course i lost them BUGGER me , again !

Be good to see others decide to have a go and re generate and autogen the county's

[hasegawa]

Autogen... well, Horizon is good... but sometimes You can see the limits. I have flown a mission with the WAH-64D from Middle Wallop Army to Shawbury. Flying a helicopter under military conditions, very low. this is the limit without autogen. You have no problem over the nature, but if you overfly a building, you see it only direct from above as buílding and not in another angle.

The two bridges are over the river Severn.

No interest in regenerating in the AGN field .. oh well .. food for thought

[hasegawa]

Ian... look at the freeware. ... think we two hopes for autogen. The first is

www.earthsimulation.com

For example I have here for evalution a copy of the training ground of the Helicopter flying school in Shawbury... but not installed at the moment. You can find the scenery here

http://www.earthsimulations.com/shawbury-fields.html

50 % discount at the moment.

The other way is freeware.

Photo-real is always the fave for me , guess if someone was to agn it , a scenery this size guess you would target the airports first and generally spread out from each as you go , still a big job but if you own the scenery well worth the effort .

It is very "flat" looking out of the box but there are several ways to improve the experience.

Earth Simulations' Treescapes adds custom trees over the whole country, placed based on Ordnance Survey data so they are accurate. Their scenery, all offshore at the moment except for Shawbury Fields has virtually every building individually modelled.

UK2000 Scenery supply excellent custom airports for England and Wales, Scotflight do the same for Scotland.

The FSX Power Project (freeware) adds many thousands of individually placed electricity pylons, plus substations, power stations, radio telescopes, wind farms etc. This is worldwide so also has some coverage for NZ.

There are a great many freeware custom landmarks you can add, plus VFR Gen X v.3.0 included some new ones itself.

The UK experience has improved massively since its first realase. Really the only thing missing now is buildings - they are still flat on the photoreal.

Hmmm Ade .. a lesson in AGN.. en ..ing maybe

[AdrianPetford]

Good idea. Maybe when I've finished my first repaint (yes, you did read that right)... watch this space

Cheers,

Forgot to mention anything by the Airfield Construction Group (ACG) is a must-have. World class payware quality scenery and it's all free!

Yes, you may see it, I have Treescapes in use and can tell you, these are not only "some trees", it helped our fantasy to give the flat ground "another view" and it worked, but only if you are abouve around 1.000 ft over ground. Fly lower, and you have in city areas what whe called in German Pixelbrei. I have made the test ... flying a WAH 64D from Middle Wallop Army to the Helicopter School in Shawbury. The results I give you in another thread, if you want.
