Quote from the JF VFR scenery product info page: 'Night lighting effects are customised for extra realism.' Although I knew that anyway because I have all four of the JF VFR scenery volumes and use it for night flights quite a lot, and the night lighting seems pretty good to me, although I also soup it up a bit with UTX Europe.

@Gweenbarra. No. It has also been graciously included on susequent volumes.

Benjamin, I would need to know your system specification to get an idea of how well VFR London X will run on your PC. Bear in mind that I run Horizon VFR Generation X Version 3 photoscenery, UK2000 Heathrow Xtreme, UK2000 Gatwick Xtreme, VFR London X, ES Treescapes UK (custom autogen), and Flight1 Ultimate Traffic 2 (at 100% AI setting) all at the same time. This is at maximum detail levels, 1280x1024 resolution, with 16xS AA and 16x AF. Basically, my new PC can run the lot very nicely, but my old Q9550 could not (jerky framerates, and lots of stutters/texture loading issues). For a comparison, here are the specs of my new and old systems respectively.....

Hm. Overall, my machine is better than your old one. The most notable differences are that I have 12GB DDR3 RAM, an i5 quad (but of the first generation) @ 2,79gHz and a ATI 5750 with 1GB SDRAM. However, I do run it all at a resolution of 2560x1440, and I can't really lower it. With many computer games I can run it at a lower resolution because most computer games don't feature very thin lines and such. However, the gauges of aircraft do. If I lower it too much, then the gauges quickly become incomprehensible if you don't zoom in (here's actually where TrackIR would come in useful but I don't think my FPS are high enough to use it comfortably).

What display/graphics ettings are recommended for Horizon's scenery V3 ? Microsoft Windows 7 EnterpriseIntel® Core™2 Duo CPU E6850 @ 3.00GHz, 3060 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)4Gb memoryNVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT

@mad dog Horizon Gen X also has that "green" tint in the Irish scenery ( 9 and 10). The quality is sub par to the England VFR scenery IMO. ( It's still worth the investment though). If only I could get a treescapes version to run alongside it. VFR is fairly 2D no matter how good the mesh resolution.

I'm just patiently waiting, along with Chris, for Scotland South. @ 60cmpp it's going to be incredible. Their forum is a joke though, most posts just get deleted for some reason. As for the scenery appearing 2D, false. Looks exactly as it does in real life.

I agree to a point but flying at 1500ft vfr shows the "flat" limitations of photo-scenery. It looks fantastic from 4,000 and above but at lower levels it can definitively benefit from autogen or something like treescapes............ http://www.earthsimulations.com/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=19

Of course Ben can always hold on to his money until OrbX UK is released..........

Agreed Anthony, at that height. However, at 60cmpp you get the 4000ft clarity at 1000ft. Don't believe me? Buy the orkney isles.

I might just do that :)

about horizon does it has autogen?

No. There is an addon called treescapes though. This scenery does not require autogen. Looks better without.

@slip-stream, that's really impressive. Am I right in saying that the resolution in GenX 5 & 6 is greater than the rest of the GenX scenery. I have 9 & 10 (Ireland) but this looks much better.
