I take delivery of my new computer tomorrow, I have been using VFR Reaal scenery from Just Flight - volumes 1 and 4 covering south east and northern england. I am thinking of buying the other 2 volumes, the question is should I be considering any other vfr software instead/? Disc space is not a problem as i will have two 500Gb set as raido and a 1tb 2nd drive. What scenery would you reccommend?

I am not sure if you are aware of NL2000, but I have been enjoying this scenery quite a bit, and best of all it is free! http://www.nl-2000.com/nuke/index.php

Depends on where you want to fly. The Orbx FTX scenery for Australia and Northwest USA is some of the best VFR scenery there is, and Tongass X is a fantastic Alaska VFR scenery. (Nice thing about VFR flying in North America is that sectional charts are available online, e.g. from SkyVector).I've heard good things about Switzerland X from Flylogic, too.Aerosoft has Germany covered with four "VFR Germany" packages. I only have the first one, and I didn't like it much (it has since been updated, but as they want €25 for the upgrade I decided to pass on it).Striking software has a series of "PW Sceneries" that cover the Caribbean - very nicely done, and they are completely free.Pacific Islands Simulations have sceneries for Papua New Guinea and a small island nation called Tuvalu.

Les,Personally, I would dump that VFR Real Scenery, and buy all three volumes of Horizon VFR Generation X Version 2 instead. It has much better colour contrast (VFR Real is far too green and "washed out"), twice the terrain mesh resolution (5 metres), superb water masks (sand bars and other features can be seen below shallow water), and the VFR Airfields packages (UK2000; Gary Summons) have been designed to blend seamlessly with it.I made the mistake of buying VFR Real Scenery (thinking the two products were the same), so I have seen the difference. Horizon's VFR GenX2 is definitely the better product.

And you could also add Treescapes to that scenery: handplaced autogen trees all over VFR Horizon's scenery. I don't have it, but it seems to be nice. Together with the airfields packages (the third and last package will be released Spetember 1, so I've read) this is one of the best photoreal areas you can get. It comes at a price, though, with all those extra addons...
