Horizon GenX Photo scenery + ???, what is best?

I am currently running FSX-SE and P3D V3, and love the accuracy of Horizon GenX VFR photo scenery for my local area, very accurate roads etc. I mainly fly VFR from Shoreham, EGKA, and IFR big jets from Gatwick, EGKK, and my question is about what other add on stuff will work seamlessly and without too much FPS hit with the photo scenery. I am lucky not to have too much budget constraints! FTX ORBX sceneries look good, especially Shoreham and other airfields, and I already have UK2000 for Gatwick and other main airports. Can I retain or still get the photo accuracy of GenX if I were to add FTX Global, scenery areas, Shoreham, Vector, LandClass etc, or is that overkill? What I do miss with photo scenery is autogen trees and buildings, so again, is there any scenery that is accurate, and that has autogen? Or am I missing another phot scenery package that will work as well as Horizon?

If the same strategy can be applied to both FSX-SE and P3D then all the better (for my wallet). Of course at some point I will ditch one of the sims when I can decide the best of the two.

Thanks, and hopefully some pointers from the community will get me the sim flying experience I am looking for.

I've got Horizon GenX VFR photoscenery for my FSX Gold, and I also bought Revolution-X which plonks 3D buildings and trees on top of it.

These 3 screenshots are a DC-3 banking to approach Shoreham Airport at different heights.

The Revolution-X buildings and trees certainly bring the photoscenery to life, but the buildings are pure fiction, and also I don't like the way the flat factory roofs are two-tone grey/dark red which looks stupid, but overall the effect is not bad and better than no buildings at all.

And in fairness to it, other programs such as OrbX also have fictional buildings, there's no program on the market that has every building looking exactly as it does in real life apart from famous landmark buildings like the Houses of Parliament and cathedrals etc

If you tell me what area you live in I'll screenshot your neighbourhood if you like..:)

Thank you both for your replies, I recently installed orbx global base which I am happy with. I did download vfr real scenery south east England, but wasn't pleased at all with these flat.

Was thinking of orbx England, world that be a better choice then? I really don't like the pancaked looked at all especially with random couple of buildings dotted.

Hmmm well if this thread progresses as it has, then maybe someone will comment around about 2020. This caught my eye as I like things to actually look like they do when really flying. I have been flying into Shoreham for more years than I now care to remember, so know the south coast pretty well. I would take the scenery from the bottom pic, The sea from the top one. Mixing and matching is a little disappointing as comparing it to a screen shot I did in 2002 (flying east to west towards Cows, nearly abeam Wotton Creek with the USS Enterprise at sea to right), using 'Just Flight Photoreal', with I think freeware sea and cloud textures, well, things just have not moved on. The details are on my tutorial page, (deciding on rewriting/updating if enough interest returns), at:-
