Hi all...!
I splashed ot.the other day on Just Flight's VFR Scenery of England and Wales.

This scenery was photographed from the air by aeroplanes traversing the whole country under the name of "Get Mapping" a few years ago, and stiched together to show a photographic map of the whole of England and Wales.

...have produced a number of CD's to incorporate this data into FS 2002 and FS 2004
It lays the photo over the accurate bump-mapped scenery mesh.
Each CD is priced at

Apart from the purple runway in #3 it looks really nice Fozzer. How badly were your frame rates hit?

Hi Mark...!
No effect on frame rates at all on my set-up, (everything maxed), Locked at 25 FPS..it actually runs much higher... ;D...!

The purple runways are actually the photographic runways in their correct orientation, (Microsoft's are slightly out of position in some of the arears)...!

Last night I started from Cardiff airport, over the River Severn to Bristol, followed the M5 to Exeter, banked right to follow the A30 to Bodmin, then had to pack it in 'cos it was bed-time...LOL... ;D...!

Cheers Mark...!

Paul.

1,500 AGL, out of the range of the speed cameras, COOL or what...!
LOL...!

Coordinates eh? I'll have to find them out... FS will be more than useless for doing that. Where's me GPS...
