UK2000 Manchester is released downloading now.

I've just flown around in the Demo version.There is only one word I'll choose of many to describe what I think: gorgeous! :( Gary is better with each airport. A pure master of top quality FS9 scenery.Not that I had a lot of plans to fly to Manchester before. But for the sake of its (UK2000) beauty - I will!

WOOHOOO! I am SO there -- I have been anxiously awaiting this one for a long time!Thanks for the heads up!!

The link to buy is greyed out at the top of their page, and clicking on the "Buy Now" link takes me to the Belfast Extreme page?? Is there already a problem or are they swamped with downloads? :(

Yes, I think the UK2K website is messed up at the moment - looks like we'll have to wait until tomorrow to purchase. I tried it on two different browsers; same result.

Actually, if you click on the checkmark to bUy it and then go to the bottom of the page to continue your order, all will end well. I was just able to puchase mine and am in the process of installing it right now.

Gary has really made strides the past few years. Going from average looking scenery's to top of the heap in terms of quality (and awesome support). His work has become really amazing looking.This release is much diffrent than the others. You get a download link for the full scenery and enter your serial code. Not like the other scenery's where you would download the demo and then activate it.

Thanks for the tips, guys - just installed it and did a quick flight. Amazing how something can look so good and yet feature such high framerates!

Guys,Could someone be so kind and post some screenies over here, because the sceenshots form Gary's website definitely dont make me wanting to buy it,I suspect they dont advertise the scenery very well. From your posts the scenery is outstanding, and I definitely want a nice Manchester.Thanks! :(

Gary is a master scenery designer, you will not find a better Manchester scenery anywhere. :( You can download the free demo version to get a taste if you really need convincing.

Yes, Gary's scenery is wonderful but his screenshots are discouraging. Don't pay attention to them. Trust us, lol.Taking screenshots and showing them here for you is pointless. Just go the the website, download the full demo and see for yourself.EDIT: Oops, I see Graeme advised the same before me.

This last UK Xtreme scenery is just BEAUTIFUL.

hehe, I know you guys are lurking around the Aerosoft forums too, so I decided I would trust you blindly: I wont bother with the try b efore you buy, for that small price, just bought Manchester a minute ago, will let you know my impressions when its installed :( On top of that, we old fs9ers farts have to support the business more than before.

Got it as soon as I saw it had been released, as I have done with all the UK Xtreme scenery. BRILLIANT scenery (right up there with the best) - very detailed and great frame rates (was managing 40+fps with the Carenado Seneca in the spot plane view with everything maxed out and VFR photoscenery in the surrounding area). Highly recommended - go for it if you are at all tempted!BillWindows XP Pro SP2; Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0Ghz CPU; Arctic Cool 7Pro; ASUS P5N-E-SLI Motherboard; 2GB Corsair 800Mhz DDR2 RAM; 768MB nVidia GeForce 8800GTX Dual VGA Graphics card; 2x 500GB SATA 7200RPM Hard Drive; 650W (2 x 12V) PSU; 1000GB Western Digital External Hard Drive; 150GB Western Digital External Hard Drive; CH Pro Yoke and PedalsAll running 245GB of fs9 fun! (until XP imploded!)

Gents you told the truth, marvellous scenery indeed :( Mr Garry won a new customer. For all of those who'd been doubting because of the screenshots: dont believe what you see and go buy it,for a change the thing is much nicer than the teasers. Quite the other way round usually.
