Go to www.justflight.com for full details.

If you have a nose about you can find it cheaper

Go on... fly over you're house

ps if you have it allready in fs2002 just load it from there via the scenery setting in fs9 and save disc space


Hope this helps

Yep - just the thing I was looking for, so now I have another question for you.... Has anyone bought the VFR Wales & South-West England yet?

Just wondering how good it will be. Rolling Eyes

Its great from anything above 3000ft during the day
but if you are a night flier theres no night lighting.
Ive got wales and the west and you can find your way around plus the mesh is fab far better than the ms attempt
Ill post a screen shot once ive figured out how to get one on here

ps theres a great download of the severn bridge doing the rounds

To add scenery from fs2002(or even try fs2000) click settings in fs9 then click scenery then click add scenery and then in pop up box at top where it says fs9 click the down arrow next to it
above fs9 should be ms games..click that and you should (provided its installed)be able to select between any other ms game (ie fs2002)click that and choose add on scenery file(if thats where you put them)
now pick the scenery you want and close and restart fs9
if it is compatable job done (not all are)
no need to redownload or copy anything thus saving drive space and time
if its no good just delete from the settings menu
sorry if it was long winded but i hope its helped
happy landings

Tomdot - perhaps you cpuld sign-up for an account or login to your ac count to become an official forum member - it's much more professional and your starts and logo are displayed properly. You cannot also get post counts with no user account.

there a discrepency between the mesh and the photographic image.....I have Vol 3...(Wales and south west).

It is most noticable near the coast.....where you see the sea is rasied...but still textured as 'sea'.

In the northwest corner of Wales (Lyn peninsular) , I area I have often camped in, I recognised the the coast road(photo image) and hill(mesh)......they are a couple of hundred metres adrift.

And although I can recognise this.....the whole effect still seems a bit 'pixulated to me, not at all kike the photo on the box. Am I being too exacting. I have tried varing the setting....

Hi guys, bought VFR scenery for Eastern England. installed it and all I got was "Mush".

Started at London City Airport, a place I know. Airport was there, but Thames and London weren't, just a kind of green hazy mush.

Went to Wittering - again a place I know. Same Story.

What have I done wrong?

Tried re-insalling it and tried with a friend who'se "good with computers" We are both stumped.

My graphics card is up to the job. I am runing FS2004 on XP.

Any ideas?

Dissapinted, Suntor.

Hello If you click start/programs a list of progs displays>put your mouse over VFR scenery and you should get an adjustment for the scenery draw distance .
Also make sure your sliders are up in settings in fs9.On a less powerful pc it may take a couple of secs to load

Have a try with that

Note VFR is best from above 3000ft

You say your graphics card is up for the job...........it needs to be
