Sweet! I really like the contrast of a yellow plane.
(I secretly like the default Cub in FS9

)
Great scenery too!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I'm really happy with this new scenery. It also auto reconfigured all my settings and I gained about 10 FPS. Frame rates with these screen shots were running between 20 to 25 FPS. Can't wait for the SP1 release next month. If anyone wants to take a peak at this scenery you can check it out at this link.

Great set. I'm considering buying it. I really hope they update the NY (my hometown) version for FSX.

Great set, but I think the trees are a bit green for the desert setting though, they do feel a bit unrealistic. Mind you, I've never been to Arizona, so what do I know? Apart from that, beautiful scenery. And I like the Lake Pleasant in Arizona, I once visited Lake Disappointment in Western Australia, which lived up to its name. I can only hope that L.P. does too....and I can well imagine a Dutchman getting lost there, too many hills, most of them like it flat...

Well we do have a lot of green trees in Phoenix and the surrounding area, but we also have a lot of cactus also. I think they missed the boat in this respect. There are also lots green trees in the desert along the rivers and washes that get their water from runoff when it rains in the mountains. But other than the lack of cactus I'm pretty happy with it. The FSX default scenery around Phoenix looks terrible. The FSX team didn't spend much in Arizona when they where
