did Gary Summons redo his scenery and upgrade it for FS2004? im seeing a lot of great shots of some awesome looking airports in the screen shot forum, could someone send me a link as to where i can get this stuff?thanksciao!Brian S

Searching for UK2000 and Heathrow Pro should come up with some resultsCheersDan:-)

Is this what you are looking for?http://www.s114327879.websitehome.co.uk/he...screenshots.htmYes, Gary has upgaded Heathrow Pro.Regards,Carl

Heathrow Pro (I have the demo) is really nice! But it is a drag on the framrates!! I suppose PAI traffic aint helping either. It looks awesome!Danielwww.danielmcaloon.tk

from the UK2000 pro manual"Version 2 has been remade in a different way from V1 which will improve frame rates. The amount of improvement will depend on your graphics card and also bare in mind AI is still the BIGGEST frame rate drain!. If you use no AI and medium settings you can get a 100% improvement (twice as fast)"well duh........I get twice as fast fps if I do that no matter where I am, even SimFlyers LAXUK2000 pro looks great and I really like it, but it's fps killer even with the update.....I get 11-15 there with my AI at 60% and all sliders just left of max.

Let me jump in here, the issue with a complex large airport of a major city (with significant 3d structures in FS) is that as a whole FS loads it all into view at the same time. This of course means a major drain on resources and an fps reduction. Any scenery of LHR, JFK, LAX or ORD will suffer this unless the design of the airport structures is ultra-efficient or ultra-light. The new CDG appears to have been done well but I think the Paris scenery detail may not be as heavy as some other cities. Of course add AI and it all falls apart.Shez

I dunno, look at KPVD and Rhode Island, it isnt as big as UK2000 pro but it's more efficiant.....so it can be done...

I do not own the PVD/RI scenery, but the PVD/RI scenery is not in a dense metropolitan area. That was the point I was making. In the dense metro areas the designer has to also take into account the surrounding very dense default scenery so his options are more limited if he wants to balance fps/complexity.Shez

Easy - www.uk2000scenery.comHowever, and no disrespect to Mr Summons, who has kept us UK simmers happy for many years, but I prefer OSS's Gatwick http://www.onlinesimulationsolutions.com/egkk.htm - although if he does ever release Gatwick Pro, I am sure it will be in keeping with his high standards.But I would sell a kidney for a Summons' quality Belfast International, Glasgow and Edinburgh...Rob
