The next generation of our hugely popular VFR Real Scenery series of photographic scenery for the UK is coming soon for P3D and FSX!
VFR Real Scenery NexGen 3D uses the very latest 25cm and 50cm aerial images to provide a general 'in sim' texture resolution of 1.2m/pixel, which increases to 60cm/pixel around airports and specific points of interest, as well as a huge array of autogen objects to provide an immersive ‘3D’ feel. The combination of photographic scenery with accurately placed autogen objects gives a truly realistic representation of flying over the real world - and you'll get a performance boost as well!
As well as vegetation, houses and industrial buildings, the object library contains features such as wind turbines, lighthouses and churches, all placed where their real-world counterparts are located.
The default 76m mesh has been replaced with ultra-high-resolution 5m data for greatly improved terrain detail and the night lighting comes with custom textures to provide smooth dusk/dawn blending between day and night images.
Water masking techniques have been applied to all major and minor water areas, making them all 'landable' if you are flying a suitable aircraft.
Incorrectly placed default airports and runways have been manually corrected and the NexGen 3D scenery add-ons include a Scenery Manager utility which makes it easy to manage all aspects of the scenery program in your simulator. An Update Manager will ensure that you get the latest version of the software when we release new updates over time.
Four VFR Real Scenery NexGen 3D volumes will be available, with Volume 1 on sale first:
You'll find more detailed information on the Vol. 1: Southern England & South Wales page and we'll be letting you know the details of an upgrade offer for owners of any of our earlier VFR Real Scenery add-ons.
See below for some comparison screenshots of P3D v4 with and without the Volume 1 NexGen 3D scenery!
