Anyone care to recommend some good scenery addons? Looking for a good heathrow one especially. Also want to know how to add some more ground vehicles etc.

Help much appreciated.

Heathrow by Aerosoft. Just got it lastweek and its great! Make sure your computer has enough umph to run the high en sceneries. Another GREAT one is Fly Tampa;s St Maarteen Complete. You get 3 airports with that package.

http://walhalla.mine.nu/fsx.php-a nice list of available scenery. Updated regulary.

UK2000-http://www.uk2000scenery.com/-offers a handful of free UK airports (though not Heathrow, that is payware only). Reduced versions of their payware, but quite nice.

As for ground vehicle traffic: The number you see are, of course, controlled by the traffic sliders in the Settings>Display>Traffic (tab). To actually add more would require using methods described in the Living World SDK. You could add static vehicles using one of the scenery object placer programs available.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Advice: Do NOT buy from megascenery. I've bought three sceneries of various US regions such as S.California. They were all pale and lacked depth. In some areas they were no improvement on Microsofts stock scenery.
