UK Pleasure Flight

**Vike** · 03-07-2002, 09:35 PM

Using the new Visual Flight UK mesh, decided to take a little pleasure flight from Gloucestershire to my local airfield at Redhill, via Snowdonia :).

It's the long way around, but wow - was it worth it!

Hope you liked - yes, I know they're quite big but they've already been reduced and looked rubbish at 800x600.

Any comments, as always, welcome :)

Adam,

Could you post some shots of Biggin Hill? I bought Raimondo Taburets UK Mesh and the northen end of the airfield appears to be on a peninsular?! I don't know if you know it but Shooters Hill (just south of London City) is completely flat. Does it appear it Visual Flight?

Thanks

Paul

London is reasonably flat with this mesh, with London in a shallow bowl formed by Herfordshire rising to the north, the Mendips to the west and the north downs to the south. And no pininsulars anywhere around Biggin!

Obviously, the SE of England isn't the best place to show off a mesh scenery but Scotland, Wales and the Lakes are just stunning!

Ps - That house is still refuelling :)
