Yes CB and I honestly couldn't say if its worth it mate. I have been less than impressed.. let's put it that way :think:

You may see more benefit than I if you get around a bit.. eg to areas not covered by the norm that suffer from the default M$ textures but I have so many bits of addon scenery on here now that I've got to try hard to find 'one of these places' and in all honesty.. I can't be bothered mate

I too am hoping to buy this package, if or when it comes on CD.

As a flyer who spends most of his time flying longhaul to destinations that M$ didnt go near, i have a feeling i will benefit.

I have sen many shots of it that i love. I dont have much addon scenery that coveres large areas, like VFR England and Wales, just addons like Gatwick Pro, and World Airports.

I have seen this and I think it's pretty good, much better with roads of europe and uk I have VFR I think it needs a big rebuild as the textures lack anything of note, add their own autogen and you fly by numbers single ones at that!! hey if you want proper VFR scenery get that freeware Canarysim its bloody good and night lit as well!!!

Thanks chaps, I'll hold fire for the time being.

I have tried Reality Pack before and found it to be very cartoon like. I want textures that look good on the ground as well as in the air and a lot of these texture replacements look awful on the ground.

I have GE and like it alot. Makes quite a difference over the Default rubbish.
The VFRUK is now turned off as I got fed up with blurries, long load times and no night textures.
I hear good things happen if you also run the Ultimate Terrain along with GE.
That's my next move untill FSX is out.

I recently got it and I must say I like the new autogen in the built up areas. The textures are a alot better then default too.

Could one of you chaps post a couple of screenies of the UK please inc some shots on the ground?

Hi CB..

I have VFRPhoto installed on both my flying systems mate so I've chosen the default load.. Tacoma. OK.. it's not what you wanted but I hope you can see what difference it makes

First shot is with NO GE..

This is WITH GE installed..

It doesn't seem conclusive Chris but that's how I see it by and large. Settings are not the same on both pc's but they're close
