drewstwos Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 HI All I have been away from Flight Sim for a while and would like to return to the fold. I left because at that time there was NO photo realistic scenery, and what there was bore no relation to the actual area I was trying to fly over. There was a so called method where you could use Google Earth but that was IMHO useless as well. So is there now a UK and in particular the Isle of Man (My home base is Ronaldsway) available that is correct. The one I did find was fine with the airport itself, but anything outside that was a mess. Best to all out there Elderlygent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScatterbrainKid Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hi, mate, if you're talking about FSX, Earth Simulations do an Isle of Man scenery- https://earthsimulations.com/ Here it is in youtube, it looks fine, it covers Ronaldsway airport and the entire island- http://youtu.be/9GhEbYbWakE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxsttcb Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 It certainly does. Earth Simulations Limited "Isle of Man" Download: http://earthsimulations.com/product/isle-of-man/#reviews @ £24.50, $38.44usd, it is a tad on the expensive side, but, it is very well done. Check out their other scenery too. Just Flight has a pretty good selection of VFR Real Scenery in volumes and add-ons, but the real bargain is "The Collection". There are free Demos available for Vols. 1, 3, & 4. http://www.justflight.com/category/flight-sim-add-ons/scenery-and-airports/vfr-real-scenery There may be some freebies, or, other products out there, but those are the most recommended at this time. PlayHorizon VFR Generation X used to be quite popular. I couldn't find a source for it and their website is defunct...Don HAF 932 Adv, PC P&C 950w, ASUS R4E,i7-3820 5.0GHz(MCR320-XP 6 fans wet), GTX 970 FTW 16GB DDR3-2400, 128GB SAMSUNG 830(Win 7 Ult x64), 512GB SAMSUNG 840 Pro(FSX P3D FS9) WD 1TB Black(FS98, CFS2&3, ROF, etc.), WD 2TB Black-(Storage/Backup) Active Sky Next, Rex4 TD/Soft Clouds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScatterbrainKid Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The Earth Simulations Isle of Man has 3D trees and buildings and looks good (judging by the youtube vid), but some other photo-scenery has no 3D and is just a flat photo of the ground with a few bumps for hills, so beware of that.

drewstwos Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hi Thanks Guys for all your help. I just looked at the video and it seems to be a huge step forward as to reality. Guess I will go that way in the very near future. cheers D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
