Some nice touches there.

Nice to see Scotland covered in detail..at least it's a start

I don't suppose they will be able to have moving traffic down in SE England......not if they want to be realistic :think:

Dear me.. I never read any of that.. I just paid the money and downloaded Am I a trusting soul or what

EDIT..
Seeing around 15fps at Inverness (half the norm) but it's not too bad. At least my FSX Inverness actually LOOKS like Inverness now
