I had to look twice at those shots. You've standard autogen in there too which I wasn't expecting.
I'm told the AI has probs in FSX but I can't remember if I've tried it myself. I'd thought of digging an SRN6 out and beaching it at Southsea and looking at those shots again.. the IoW ferry would go down a treat. Porthigh does work in FSX after a fashion and that was the basis of my retro job on the dockyard. Some look a bit ropey though.. the fun fair at Southsea for one but it does the job and is still very recognisable which is the whole point.
I've moved back from playing with Plymouth (still not posted or made screenies of that) to Southampton where I'm finding it bloody hard work populating the city with high rise. I wanted them all to be genuine like Portsmouth but Southampton is a darned big place to fill so I may resort to standard/default items. We'll see. One thing is for certain.. the FR drop I'm seeing there isn't caused by what I've added at Southampton. I realised a few mins ago that if I look east.. I have Hamble, Lee-On-Solent AND Portsmouth smack in my line of view.. all visible from Southampton. I may be overloading that part of Hampshire
