Woodpecker1214388 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I have FSX as standard and UK VFR Photographic. Can you recommend any software that upgrades FSX to show detailed smaller airstrips for the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvieno Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 There isn't a program that does it for you. However there are some payware sceneries that have updated many of them. If you don't want to pay, there are plenty of freeware sceneries at http://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx.html http://my.flightmemory.com/pic/tvieno.gifhttp://www.vatsimsigs.co.uk/Status/1136602.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnuss Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 There's also ORBX, with England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales sceneries -- they upgrade everything, airports (with animated people, too) and countryside.

ScatterbrainKid Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 But just for the record, although OrbX is a big improvement over default FSX scenery, it's not strictly photoreal scenery so you'll notice some real-life roads are missing, and some buildings out of place etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnuss Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 it's not strictly photoreal scenery so you'll notice some real-life roads are missing, True, nor did I claim it was photographic, but he asked for upgraded airstrips, stating he already had photographic...

Jim Robinson Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Check out the freeware FTX Global airports from Orbx, it says you're supposed to have FTX Global and maybe they look better if you have it, but they work fine without. You do need the orbxlibs for all the objects to show up. There are something like 500 airports scattered all around the globe, not too heavy on frames but most are embellished quite a bit with static aircraft, people, vegetation, etc. KAPA in Denver is close to payware quality if not beyond some examples. I'll be landing at 36U, Heber City, UT in about an hour :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristoGPS Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 UK2000 Vfr Airfields is what I have. It's pretty good and has about 75 airfields (volume 1 for southern England). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgh Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I also am very satisfied with UK2000 VFR Airfields. They are developed with co-operation from Horizon Simulations to correct and blend in the actual airfield photographic images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
