Hi Ben,

Rick's beat me to it. ALT + ENT does the same command as FS9.

Sorry guys.. I meant it won't remove the menu. Doh! I'm mid gutting my room and wasn't reading what I typed. I meant to say holding the alt key down will hide the menu again... don't know what I was thinking! Sorry chaps.

Very nice shots Eddie, does the VFR perform better than in FS9? For example does it go really blurred for a while before appearing clear due to load times?

Hi Jetty,

the performance for the VFR stuff is far superior to the default scenery. Put it this way. All the sliders in FSX (apart from Autogen, which I detest) are set to max out using this scenery and I am returning 25-30 FPS.

Even the sliders set half way with the default stuff can't even touch that! As for the blurring, it does'nt happen except when you start using slew mode and the CPU struggles to catch up with loading the textures.

Its ideal for light aircraft VFR, but saying that I did some VFR over the weekend in the A310 at 250kts/2000ft over the lakes and it was also fine.

The stuff aint cheap but Horizon are offering a bundle deal on all three volumes which I thought was pretty decent. Good support and info forum too.

FSX is getting more tempting. Now if all the UK2000 stuff worked then I would be there!
