UK VFR Autogen and standard scenery
Posted: 31 May 2006, 19:47
Just a small note for the chaps asking if the UKVFR autogen works with standard FS scenery.
After getting sick of the usual VFR blurries I decided to deselect it and load FScene Europe (Thanks, you know who you are!) I was a bit worried about my UK VFR autogen because I have heard horror stories about uninstalling it. I had the feeling that it would be spread everywhere totally out of sync with the FScene textures.
To my amazement it was fine! It seems that all it does is replace the default buildings with British looking ones, but doesn't mess with the positioning. When you add areas of autogen for VFR you put the files in the VFR Scenery texture folder and not the default texture folder. So once you deactiviate the VFR scenery it deactivates the autogen changes made to it.
So IMHO, as long as you don't want to uninstall it and are happy with the new buildings, go and get it. It certainly makes the UK look more British.
