Ive just got volumes 1-3 of Just flight's VFR photographic scenery for England and wales but the loading time in between where you start and en route is really slow i was wandering if there are any ways to reduce this time. (My PC is almost brand new so that shouldnt be a problem)
Cheers

Cut the viz to around 30-40 miles and see if that helps...

I have VFR Scenery and it works fine on my PC, to increase the quality you need to have antialiasing on and set mip mapping to a high level. What spec PC do you have? Also in order to enjoy it it really is a good idea to go in a cessna or other GA, for me i usually use the Mooney Bravo. Really to speed it up you need a good graphics card and over 512 MB RAM

I have a radeon 9800 graphics card and 1Gb of RAM
When I tried using Anti aliasing it just looked really fuzzy but hey lets try again!

Turn Mip Map settings to full, fly slower that 120kts, turn max texture size to the max..

LOL now were back to the loading problem again. It looks rly good it just takes a few years to load. it kind of puts you off flying over the UK.

Smashie,
I am impressed with the combination of FSGenesis mesh with FScene textures .... I use it in Japan... and it finally looks vaguely LIKE Japan.
best,
