I don't have the exact spec in front of me, but the normal scenery resolution is something like 4.7m/pixel where as these sceneries are something like 1.2m/pixel.

On his site you will see references to High Res & Low Res. The Low Res scenery is at the default resolution, & therefore High Res is...

Its a pity its America (sorry to Americans) but yes would'nt it be great to fly over Exmoor, or the Yorkshire Dales with scenery as crisp as this - and this is free.

I presume that it all depends on the sources, rather than the publisher.

A birdy tells me that it's possible to work with 15cm textures in FSX.. the same birdy also says that it's impressive to see..

It's also true to say that UKVFR is older than God's dog (being released originally for FS2002) and a handful of years down the line, this is how things have progressed. Gotta agree with delticbob though.. the Yorkshire Dales might get me interested.. not more American scenery I never use

Dave at the same time VFR was peddling their stuff the Yanks were producing far better VFR scenery and with night textures!! Still I am waiting for the updated VFR scenery where all the roads are removed...cause soon we won't be able to afford to use them..Ooh er political stuff now

Hi Tony,

Rumour has it that the deletion of roads upgrade you describe has been scrubbed. The latest news on the grapevine is that the modellers are busy making different models of toll booths at various locations throughout the UK. Due to the data that will be needed this will be a DVD release only.

That's it then

You can have the roads but it'll cost you 1.5p per mile

Ive seen FSX hooked up to google earth, and the results were indeed impressive but the texture loads times was something stupid like 10minutes or so. And then youd be limited by google earth itself as not all areas have high resolution coverage.

There is a new version of VFR scenery coming out, which might be worth getting FSX for, guys......
