FScene, from Just Flight - Oh my lord!

Oh my lord !

Once in a while an add-on comes along that really makes you think, "wow this is what the next Flight Simulator is going to look like, or feature" (if Microsoft have any sense).

FScene is one of those add-ons it is spectacular, for all the right reasons. I have become quite disillusioned by most Scenery add-ons, as I think the developers are going too far with the detail often leading to very poor frame rate performance when flying through their add-on sceneries.

FScene is a texture replacement set for the FS2004 (or 2002) defult textures. So it enhances the standard scenery at areas where you do NOT have add-on scenery installed.

Many reviews describe the enhancement as "subtle" and this is even stated on the DVD case of the product. Let me tell you that in most areas, there is nothing subtle about what FScene does. It is spectacular. I installed and took off in a C172R at my local airport of EGNT, for which I have no add-on scenery - none is available for Newcastle in FS9, payware or freeware

The difference took my breath away. Here are the main enhancements that FScene makes to the Europe and Africa region (Volume 1):-

- Colours are far more vivid and realistic.
- Roads and markings are much more clear.
- The default scenery becomes MUCH more 3D looking, which is a huge improvement.
- Heres the best bit ...... my Frame Rates were BETTER with FScene installed and my PC's rendering speed of the textures was considerably FASTER than with the default scenery.

This is an awesome result for the money when you consider it. This is the best thing I have done to my FS set-up since buying a yoke.

10/10 Just Flight and Ruud Faber (the developer) - this really is awesome, thank you so much !!
