Unparalleled Terrain detail:
With a 5m terrain mesh data from Getmapping's latest aerial surveys, VFR Generation X gives users minute topographic detail that shows every lump and bump - all fully correlated to provide the perfect fit with the aerial photography, adding dramatically to the immersion that this synthetic environment provides.
Ultra High-Definition Photographic Scenery:
With this volume you can expect ultra-high definition resolution for the entire area.
The resolution has been set to 1/2m/pixels with 0.60cm selected towns and cities and additional 3D bridges and buildings.

The water bodies have been designed to retain the natural water colours shown by the aerial photography as far as possible, again adding to the scenery's immersion. In addition, they will provide a moving, reflective surface that will allow float aircraft operations, and will even let you see through to sub-surface features like sand bars and underwater channels.
Compatibility with UK2000:
To ensure compatibility with other content for England & Wales, Horizon has been coordinating efforts with the talented scenery designers from UK2000 and Gary Summons, who have been busy re-positioning existing content, and adding further 3D objects and greater detail to their already outstanding sceneries.
