For those who dont know about this great addon: http://www.canarysim.com/

Basicaly its a Mesh (which is alt data for hills etc) and scenery which makes the islands look what they look like in real life!

Ive posted a quick website, with a "picture review" of some areas. Ive compared them to Google Earth images, as well as real life images.

Currently 1 page uploaded of Tenerife. Page 2 tomorrow. Other islands soon.

Well worth the download!

Wow, is most of the earth on that game done to the same detail?

Is it just the mods which make it that acurate?

standard, out of the box FS2004 is really poor when it comes to mesh (hills) and scenery (textures/buildings)

ive brought FSglobalSE which is a mesh package, and it makes the world much more realistic... I mean by default the UK is pretty flat, and mountain ranges are just slopes and hills. Once FSglobal is added, or any kind of mesh it all gets better.

Scenery wise, i havnt got anything other than this,

Project Canarias is both mesh and scenery, and its amazing to see how well this matches to real life.

Why have they turned off their NAV/ILS systems?

you can turn the screens off without turning the systems off... they probably did that because they didnt want the camera taking pictures of it?

or maybe because the flash/angle you cant see it? I dunno

VFR does happen in commercial jets all the time though.
