Such A Spectacular Aircraft that PC Pilot Reviewed it at 95%!
For a while we've been considering how we could add more value to your simulation experience with FSX and VFR Generation X and we recently struck upon a number of ideas that we think you'll like.
Since we're often asked which add-ons are compatible with VFR Generation X, we decided that the first such idea we'd put into practice would be to test, evaluate, and recommend those third party add-ons which we believe will add significantly to your enjoyment of FSX - essentially those we would recommend to our friends.
Where possible, we'll also try to negotiate discounts for registered users of VFR Generation X, though unfortunately we can't always guarantee we'll get them!
The first enhancement to be recommended by Horizon was VFR Airfields (though our old, clunky site meant we didn't get a story up about it!). Feedback has been so positive, we thought we'd give you some more...
As regular forum contributor and a fantastic add-on aircraft designer, we decided that Rick Piper's new Red Arrows BAE Hawk T1 (PC Pilot Review: 95%!) would be our 2nd recommendation.
Well deserved plaudits Rick
Plus good news for those who fly round Scotland
VFR Generation X Scotland - Western Isles is Coming Soon!
We're asked daily when Scotland will be available as an enhancement for FSX and, until now, we've always said that "it's coming, but we're not absolutely sure when!". The problem has been that the weather in Scotland has prevented the companies acquiring the photographic data from completing their surveys. We're sure you'll be pleased to hear that coverage is now sufficient for us to start creating products for you and we've been doing this behind the scenes for a little while now.
The spectacular Western Isles will be the first in the series and we expect it to be available within the next 6 weeks (followed swiftly by the Shetlands and the Orkneys and then the rest of the mainland).
The series will include high-resolution photographic scenery, terrain, night-lighting (developed using new techniques), intricate water-masking and a few other special features that we'll let you know more about shortly. The developers tell me that the Western Isles will, without doubt, be better than anything we've created in the past and are excited about its release.
This is just a 'heads up' for now. More detailed information will be posted on our website very shortly.
