In its quest to bring news levels of realism to Microsoft Flight Simulator, Visual Flight have developed an exciting new photographic scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 - VFR Photographic Scenery for England and Wales.
Visual Flight have developed this exciting new scenery in association with Getmapping plc, whose Millennium Map™ is the first ever complete, seamless aerial photographic image of the UK.
VFR Photographic Scenery is made by draping the high quality photographic image of the Millennium Map over a 3D model of the terrain so that it can be used by Microsoft Flight Simulator to show the landscape as it would be typically be seen in real life.
VFR Photographic Scenery is great for recreating Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flying in which navigation is by visual features such as motorways, railways, lakes and other prominent features in the landscape.
VFR Photographic Scenery will allow you to make sightseeing trips for the sheer enjoyment and beauty of the countryside, and for the first time ever you can explore areas you are familiar with in real life - your home, the place you were born, where you work, your favourite holiday spot.
Reaction from real pilots who've tried the photographic scenery has been very positive
