Lifeless, boring...NOT what I expected

[Rajeev]

I got a copy of fs2002 (professional) expecting stunning scenery, auto genereted scenery, exceptional terrain and most important - Landmarks.

I heard a lot of good stuff about fs2002 and its numerous advantages and realism. But i could not find any of these mentioned above. Does the simulator include some natural and "manmade" landmarks in the nepal-india region ? or maybe downloads are available ?

[sxucougar]

Microsoft focuses on Europe and North America and besides a few exceptions, ignores the rest of the world.  I do not expect fs2004 to be any better in that regard.  Flightsim.com has some downloads for India, such as landclass scenery and the like.  For what we pay, every major city in the world should have some basic scenery such as buildings, bridges, and other landmarks.

Rajeev I'm afraid M$ has neglected large parts of the world, they didn't put in Stonehenge etc.
Your best bet is to do scenery searches here at SimV, and at Flightsim.com, and AVSIM. These are the 3 biggest VA sites on the net. You could also try doing a search for any Indian websites that might have add-ons.

There's plenty of aircraft and scenery to download to make FS2002 quite exciting

[mr. bob]

There are many add-ons for Fs2k2, I did see that M$ put the Great Pyramids in.

Ozzy72....What is this fixation you have with Stonehenge. I have noticed its appearance before.
I have flown over it, driven past it, but I cannot seem to push myself into the passion you have with the place.LOL

C'mon guys Victoria Falls didn't get a look in either!

Ozzy72 hasn't got a fixation! I'd say the one with the fixation is the guy who put ROOSTERVILLE,MISSOURI(ID:ONO-love that, O!!NO!!!)in the menu.  ;D

You are not the only one to complain.

Perhaps I'm looking at it too simplistically, but to be able to buy a piece of software that costs less than what I'd pay for an evening meal for 5 at our local diner, and then be able to fly anywhere in the world on it, is something of an achievement, I'd say...

For all its faults, it's still a terrific pece of gear, is FS2k2!

Let's be happy with what we've got compared to what we had 9 years ago!

Hey Oso,

Similar insanity happens in Bognor Regis in England, where prior to New Year's Day, people invent ludicrous methods of attempting to fly, and launch themselves off Bognor pier over the sea on said festival, to see how far they can get assisted by their flying gear: only to inevitably plummet into the merciless cold of the English Channel.

Good for a laugh - but not if you're the one doing the plummetting.
