This is a pic of a Spitfire V flying just off the south coast of England.

Here is a link to the 1024*768 version if you want it as your background (it is a link because of the image size limit):

It would be almost perfect if the landscape wasn't so flat. Come on microsoft, can't you even add some little hills to england? :(

I was going to do a shot of the white cliffs of Dover, with Dover castle in the background, but they were not there. :(

That is bad. Are your settings turned up enough to see them? If their not there at all there's bound to be a download to add them by now.

yeah, i agree mind. :) They did miss out a lot of England as it should be. unfortunately, the only dlds i find for the UK are either new M$ payware or RAF bases rather than civil aviation add-ons!

thanks

It is a shame that most UK scenery is payware. I've got a nice mesh for the western isles though. So thats where I do most of my flying.

If there's a free UK mesh out there i'd be interested. ;)
