Can anyone tell me how far the surrounding scenery (3D objects/autogen/photoscenery) extends beyond the airport boundary? I have never used a Flightbeam airport product before, and I am aware that they are highly regarded by the flight simulation community, so it might be nice to take a look at this one (since it is relatively close to the UK).

All of the area in dark green.

Ugh, is it standing out that much?

I think that he probably took the screenshot with default scenery so that the boundary is easier to see. What puzzles me is the odd shape

If you have OrbX Europe FTX in use you have no scenery borders. Like in the screenshot above.

If I decide to purchase the product, it will need to be surrounded by photoscenery. For the record, can France VFR be installed these days without messing up the autogen definitions?

On a side note, do any Boeings visit this airport, or are they banned?

If someone took the trouble to change their simulator settings so as to clearly demonstrate
the answer to a question that I had asked, my first reaction would be to write "thank you".

I have sent a PM to Nick (F737NG).

No, as pointed out by Christopher, that was merely to show the airport surrounding area using default textures.
Here's with OLC Europe selected and today's date in the sim:

 

For photoreal fans like me, here's the freeware ortho compiled by Scotth6 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yJK3rFyP_XjDIoFW3MekdeksyUd9OOZJ/view

And how to download and have POIs appear: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/491023-france-photoreal-freeware/?do=findComment&comment=4643959
 

 

I still haven't managed to get the autogen descriptions to work though (available from here: https://content.dbalternative.fr/partners/AGX/setup_AGX64.zip)

There's still no compatibility between Orbx and FranceVFR.  Using the Autogen Compatibility Merger (ACM) tool wrecked my descriptions, so I won't use it again.

Turkish 

Ryanair 

Asl Belgium cargo

Transavia France 

Swiftair

Dhl

Starair

All fly Boeings into TLS.  But then I thought you only liked eyecandy and not realism..... 😏

dont worry chap,  in your sim you probably got AI going into TLS from,  Monarch, Air2000, Airtours, JMC, Airword, and Britannia, doing Andorra ski charters in August from 2002

cheers

Has anyone taken the upgrade path to the MSFS version which was released about the same time? I cannot find how to get a discount

Anyway I've opened a support ticket to Flightbeam

Flightbeam is one of the few (Flytampa is another) that don't offer MSFS upgrade pricing. However there is a special running RIGHT NOW that ends on 1st June that you get 35% off your order of MSFS airports if you have previously purchased P3D products in your account. check at this link:

It expires within a day so go get it. I picked up LFBO and the New Zealand bundle.
