Classic British Flight Sim

I'm like a kid with a new toy!!

Low level flying has never been so good with this new mesh.

Descending for low level Wales


At low level


Now it's Scotlands turn, starting descent.


Wheeeee!!


Last sector then home

Not boring at all Nigel

You should try the Grand Canyon!!!

Brilliant idea Ben, hadn't thought of that. Off to get some mesh for that area!!

Nigel.

Low level - try to fly the A5 road from start to finish!

Nigel... you MUST get the VFR stuff for FS9. No Scotland in it, but the lakes are superb! Mesh included and no dodgy autogen....

Same shot with the FSX product...

Thanks Ben, will certainly take a look at the VFR, seems that you now have the best of both worlds there the only problem if I had FSX as well would be deciding which one to use!!



Will have a go at the A5 Hobby, that is if I can find it!!

Nigel.

Nice ones Nige.... Sadly, Ben is throwing up the total lack of decent stuff us Kilties have for our neck of the woods :roll:

The Mesh I use is not too bad, but has it's weaknesses..
Arthur's seat is recognisable...

Heading due south over Harperrigg, I can make out East and West Kip - at least I know where I am...

Fair representation of the Ochils....


But, getting to the real stuff, the lack of depth shows....

A blast down Loch Elrich....
the raised lochs and road issue..





Beinn Udlamain looks decent:

Although, it's time to climb and burn as Beinn Bheoil looks more like a glacier


A little further south, I've turned to annoy the boaters on Loch Tay:

Ben Lawers quite nice



But, overall, compared to some mesh and freeware, Scotland (despite having some hot flying areas) is sadly lacking in the add-ons department - there's plenty to see and recognise, but when you get water on stilts and monumental ice-cliffs which don't exist, it does make you sigh now and again..... so even with the fact I would love to 'play' more over here, I am certainly a Holger follower for low level lunacy!

Hi Ben

Nice to see the T7 getting an airing in FSX SP2

think it all still works ok too apart from glass against clouds (it was worth following the FS8 SDK then!)

Here's a free FS9 landclass for Scotland, although not a mesh, but landclasses defines the landscape-type (eg. forrest, lake, field etc. etc.)

But here's a FS9-mesh:

1/3:

2/3:
http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?Ca ... DLID=45226
3/3:
http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?Ca ... DLID=45228

They are from 2004, but I don't think the Scottish landscape has changed that much in the past 5 years?

And finally please don't forget:
