VFR Photographic Scenery Generation X for FSX replaces the default scenery in FSX with real aerial photography and terrain data, providing you with a highly realistic, accurate & detailed immersive world.
Using real aerial photography for scenery means that the views you see from your virtual cockpit are literally transformed into the real thing - you see exactly what the pilots of the survey aircraft saw when they acquired the aerial photography.
VFR Photographic Scenery Version 3 for FSX gives you unsurpassed photographic detail at 1.2m/pixel detail with terrain mesh at 5m which replaces your default scenery.

- Bath
- Canterbury

- Exeter
- Hastings
- Oxford

- Salisbury
- Southampton

To complement these new areas, this volume also includes custom 3D models of significant landmarks of
- Bath Abbey
- Clifton Suspension Bridge
- Salisbury Cathedral
- Canterbury Cathedral
- Dartford QEII Bridge
- Leeds Castle
- Portland Lighthouses
- Royal Albert & Tamar Bridges

Features:
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 end result is smooth frame rates with exacting detail for your VFR flights.
NEW Hand Edited Night Lighting:
New advanced techniques have been used to generate a highly realistic night scenery for the entire coverage area.
Spectacular Water Effects:
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.
Enhanced Performance:
Smooth frame rates with crisp, sharp photographic scenery - VFR Generation X has been specifically designed to optimise performance and reduce the effects of blurry scenery textures, even on lower spec. systems.
Coverage:
The coverage extends from the South Coast of England & Wales as far North as Latitude 51.855°N, a line running East-West across the country parallel with Gloucester
