If you actually want to make scenery yourself, then I would recommend looking at the Abacus program FS Design Studio, which is simple to use, has good tutorials and is relatively inexpensive. You can find it here: http://www.abacuspub.com/default_fs.htmlYou'll also need a decent paint program, and that could be either the expensive Adobe Photoshop (from www.adobe.com), or a free alternative such as Paint.net (from www.getpaint.net).If you mean scenery other people have made then...Depends on the kind of thing you like and what type of flying you like too. Photorealistic scenery is good, but if you like flying fifty feet off the deck in a helicopter, it probably won't look too good, whereas something like Ultimate Terrain, which soups up the default scenery and tweaks the autogen a bit would work better in that circumstance. If on the other hand, you like flying airliners at 30,000 feet above the Earth and want to emulate visiting the real country, photorealistic terrain is well worth having. Alternatively, if you always fly from a particular favourite airport, then some good scenery for that airport will be worth looking into.You don't have to spend money to see what works for you though, if you take a look at this link, you will find stacks of free stuff, so you can decide what kind of additions you like before you consider maybe going for some payware stuff: http://walhalla.mine.nu/fs2004.phpDon't forget to look in the Avsim file library too, there's lots of scenery in there too.Al
