VFR Real Scenery – Northern England (Volume 4)

VFR Real Scenery is a series of scenery expansion packs for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The software replaces the default generic landscape of England and Wales with the very latest aerial images allowing virtual pilots to fly over the real landscape.

For FSX

FSX

VFR stands for ‘Visual Flight Rules’ - this is the way that pilots navigate when they aren’t using complex instruments – they look at a map and then pinpoint landmarks on the ground to work out their course and position. It’s the most common form of recreational flying undertaken in the UK, but to do this in a flight simulator requires scenery that’s exactly the same as the real landscape. VFR Real Scenery is an amazing piece of software that provides just that - fly over England and Wales in Flight Simulator X and sample the view you’d get from a real aircraft. You can see the real countryside from the air and pinpoint every key landmark. It’s all featured – streets, buildings, rivers, lakes, reservoirs… and all at extremely high resolution and detail!

VOLUME 4 – Northern England

Covers all of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Durham, Northumberland and Cumbria and parts of Merseyside, Derbyshire and Humberside.

Principal towns covered include: Sheffield, Leeds, Bradford, Doncaster, Hull, Manchester, Liverpool, Lancaster, Kendal, Carlisle, Newcastle, Middlesbrough and York.

DETAILED FEATURES IN EACH VOLUME

VFR Real Scenery uses 25cm aerial photographic data of England and Wales from Infoterra – the market leader in this field - to create high resolution scenery optimised for 1m display in Flight Simulator X.

The software includes 9.6m digital terrain data to vastly improve the accuracy of the FSX relief.

Main water features are individually rendered with Flight Simulator water effects. You can land a seaplane on the lakes and rivers in VFR Real Scenery!

Custom night lighting – night effects are applied individually to each part of the scenery for accuracy and realism.

Differences in runway alignment between photographic scenery and the default have been individually corrected – you won’t see many ghost airfields in VFR Real Scenery!
