I Don't mean to bore you but.......
I'm like a kid with a new toy!!
Low level flying has never been so good with this new mesh.
Descending for low level Wales
At low level
Now it's Scotlands turn, starting descent.
Wheeeee!!
Last sector then home

Nigel.

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

Brilliant idea Ben, hadn't thought of that. Off to get some mesh for that area!!

Low level - try to fly the A5 road from start to finish!
Re: I Don't mean to bore you but.......
Nigel... you MUST get the VFR stuff for FS9. No Scotland in it, but the lakes are superb! Mesh included and no dodgy autogen....
Ben.
Re: I Don't mean to bore you but.......
Thanks Ben, will certainly take a look at the VFR, seems that you now have the best of both worlds there the only problem if I had FSX as well would be deciding which one to use!!
Will have a go at the A5 Hobby, that is if I can find it!!

Nigel.

Re: I Don't mean to bore you but.......
Nice ones Nige.... Sadly, Ben is throwing up the total lack of decent stuff us Kilties have for our neck of the woods :roll:
The Mesh I use is not too bad, but has it's weaknesses..
Arthur's seat is recognisable...
Heading due south over Harperrigg, I can make out East and West Kip - at least I know where I am...
Fair representation of the Ochils....
But, getting to the real stuff, the lack of depth shows....
A blast down Loch Elrich....
the raised lochs and road issue..
Beinn Udlamain looks decent:
Although, it's time to climb and burn as Beinn Bheoil looks more like a glacier
A little further south, I've turned to annoy the boaters on Loch Tay:
Ben Lawers quite nice
But, overall, compared to some mesh and freeware, Scotland (despite having some hot flying areas) is sadly lacking in the add-ons department - there's plenty to see and recognise, but when you get water on stilts and monumental ice-cliffs which don't exist, it does make you sigh now and again..... so even with the fact I would love to 'play' more over here, I am certainly a Holger follower for low level lunacy!

Hi Ben
Nice to see the T7 getting an airing in FSX SP2
think it all still works ok too apart from glass against clouds (it was worth following the FS8 SDK then!)

Here's a free FS9 landclass for Scotland, although not a mesh, but landclasses defines the landscape-type (eg. forrest, lake, field etc. etc.)
http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?Ca ... DLID=87166
But here's a FS9-mesh:
1/3:
http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?Ca ... DLID=45224
2/3:
http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?Ca ... DLID=45226
3/3:
http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?Ca ... DLID=45228
They are from 2004, but I don't think the Scottish landscape has changed that much in the past 5 years?
And finally please don't forget:
