Yes indeed! And check out those screenshots of AI traffic from Tom Gibson of California Classics and Dee Waldron of HJG. BOAC prop and jetliners and BEA Red Square of course. Lovely stuff. :dance:

You boys you!!
I've loaded it up and there are a few oddities when used with UKVFR due to the crosswind runways different location. Likewise, you need to have a number of EZScenery libraries.. some of which I don't have so there are a couple of non-textured buildings :roll: The BEA logo you see on the jpg's looks a treat until you get up close when it appears to be suspended in mid air :shock:
That said.. it's a keeper for me and as you'd imagine, framerates are phenominal The very small filesize belies exactly how much you get but I reckon this is down to the use of these 'outside' libraries :think:

Is that as in good or bad Dave? Will I have to wait for my new PC?DaveB wrote:..... and as you'd imagine, framerates are phenominal.....
California Classics has squillions of other AI sets of that era. Props, jets and GA. I don't understand how to use it myself but it all looks jolly clever

Is one pulling my tiddler?? :think: Phenominal = Great.. Diabolical = Sh1te
Nothing.. absolutely nothing I fly fits into either the default LHR or the UK2000 version. This one could be considered perhaps a bit too early for some of the aircraft I fly but it sure as hell works for me I'd love to add all those classic airliners as AI but this side of flightsim still remains very much a black art for me. I had a bit of a dabble with PeterM's MCL Field but that only amounted to changing a few aircraft (and only a few) :roll:
TBH.. the UK2000 LHR runs ok on the system I use all the time (XP2400.. 1gig DDR400.. ATI9700pro.. ATA133) until I turn off the runways then it st.. st.. st.. stutters BIG TIME The new scenery runs like a feret down a hole.. even on this old dog I'll have to look hard and seek out the libraries I don't have to give me the bits I'm missing but other than that.. and the fact that one of the runways is surrounded by water at one end (only because I use UKVFRPhoto scenery).. a small price to pay, I'll be using it and only it from now on

Is that a similar velocity to a rat up a drainpipe or a shi-ite off a shovel?DaveB wrote: The new scenery runs like a feret down a hole..
If so it sounds phenomenally good! Yummy
