That is certainly the one to go for if you have the photo packs.

going for the full set should see you filling this drive given each volume quotes "45GB to 75GB per volume"

225gb in scenery

I would hate to think what would happen if they add Scotland too

The guy who works at our suppliers who suggested the xplane series to me to stock is big into his sims, this pack is designed to remain realistic down to 500ft so even very low flight is extremely detailed.
There is a lot of detail in the airports for these titles too, much more so than the Microsoft sims that I have seen.

I will see if I can grab some images tomorrow.

Rjk- any chance at all you can get some 5760x1080 screenies at low altitudes, eg, coming in to land?

Im one of those people that prefer loads Of short hops to practice landings in bad weather, eg London city - heathrow - Gatwick

Ditto, I'm also one of those people

I am not really a flight sim gamer so I tend to do that kind of thing when checking out a new sim.

I cant promise huge 5760x1080 screens but I will see what I can do.

 

[rjk]

lol - probably fear of height flight! - I reckon he love more on the racing car gaming!

as a general rule of thumb, if a game has V8 engines or AK-47s then it is fine with me

so, I have spent all morning trawling for some detailed pictures of the expansions and cannot locate anything in a big resolution.

I think the main issue is that the packs are not officially released yet.

the photographic scenery for Xplane 10 is a lot better than the offerings for FSX
