If you've ever been to the Central Valley in California, you'll know that most of it is wide, green farmlands. However, in FSX, it seems to have an excessive amount of shrublands and generally tan-colored expanses. Are there any freeware or payware scenery packages that add a bit more realism to the area? (I know that there's always BlueSkyScenery and MegaScenery, but I don't like the lack of autogen in those projects)

 

Thanks,

The only other company that I know of is Vero, http://vero-fs.com/, but they are doing N. CA. so far. Couldn't find any other.

SceneryTech landclass might solve your specific problem.

 

Orbx is working on NCA but it could be a ways off.

And of course there is Megascenery. I've driven through California up and down a million times and it really is a big dry tan blob of nothingness. FSX got it right.

In some places (mostly near the Sierras) that's true, but I'm thinking more of the farmland areas around Sacramento and along the I-5.

BlueSky doesn't have autogen, though, right?

Megascenery 1.0 has autogen.

Including trees?

I might take a look a that, then. Thanks!
