This is a great step forward in scenery for FS 2002 but when combined with the usual extras, airports, buildings, AI, make sure you have enough under the bonnet, turn every thing else off, read the limitations and the "best configuration" notes. Once you have set it all up and then made your tea as it's loading (Big Files!), enjoy your VFR flight at 2,000 ft for some of the best detail on FS 2002, Buildings, roads, golf courses. It's great flying over parts of the country and recognising the places and landmarks below. I look forward to the rest of the country in the new year.

This is a great add-on if you live in the South-east of the UK. I do, and I can see my street, if not my house from the air. The effect of the scenery on frame rates is negligible, but when you get down to less than 1000ft it becomes a bit difficult to distinguish anything of great aesthetic value to the sim-pilot. It is possible to fly using the scenery for visual navigation, but you would have to know the area. A must for all South UK residents, and a good example of how flight sims should look in the future - so worth buying just for the eye-candy.

...and there are plenty of them. Namely:
- You lose all autogen on the ground (trees, buildings etc).
- The scenery looks awful below about 10,000 feet.
- Many fields are red (yes, red not brown) blobs.
- It feels utterly 2 dimensional.
- Landing and taking off feels like you flying over a carpet, thanks to the loss of all ground objects.
- The scenery doesn't have night textures, and is therefore totally useless at night.
- There are no seasonal textures either, so flying in winter will not display any more snow than flying in summer.
- Constant scenery blurring problems as the graphics engine tries to catch up with the scenery
The only positive thing that I can say about these addons is that it might be fun to follow a road/river that you know well say from one city to another. But that's going to get boring very quickly.
In fact having now uninstalled these addons and sold them on, I realise that even if they were freeware, I wouldn't actually have kept them. And I guess that is as damning as it gets.

It was a present
It was a present. But I've been told that it does what it does"says on the tin". With this in mind I can only rate it as four stars.

Brings FS2002 to life
An excellent addition to FS2002. You need a powerful machine with loads of disk space and must follow the installation instructions closely to get the best results. Read more

Improved experience
Definate recomendation. The improvement to your flight experience is at least brilliant. Flying locally I was easily able to navigate visually and even locate my own house!!! Read more
