Feature Request - Change from Photoscenery to Autogen Scenery

[SidekickUBT 11]

All,

 

Wondering if you have come across a tool that allows you to move from photoscenery to autogen as we get closer to our landing elevation. Thinking it would be cool to have this capability in our sim.

There is such a product from France VFR,   http://www.fsaltitude.com/overview.htm

 

It is basically photo scenery that has an area of default textures showing around your aircraft, this area gets smaller as you ascend until you only see photo textures then grows larger as you descend until you only see the normal default types at landing altitudes.

I have a couple of DVD's somewhere and I remember It worked quite well as long as you did not bank the aircraft too far as you would then see the transition between the photo scenery and the default, not usually an issue in airliner type operations.
