VFR Photographic Scenery Generation X-Ireland

Big news guys,

http://www.flightstore.co.uk/vfr-photographic-scenery-generation-x-9.asp/simulation/scenery

I've known about this for a while and at long last Ireland will be covered in high quality imagery.

Can't wait to try it out myself.

And the West. Pricey but looks very good.

pclancy · 29-05-2011 05:48AM

That looks cool. I've often wondered why nobody has made it before now. Will be cool to finally have decent images and mesh for Ireland.

Nforce · 29-05-2011 07:07PM

No autogen? If not I'll stick with (the freeware) Tileproxy.

cherrytaz · 30-05-2011 12:31PM

No autogen which is a downer but still think it will be a great addition. Finally be able to fly complete vfr over Ireland (excluding Northern Ireland)

I should be getting a beta of it later today so I will post back with my opinions

Cheers...don't forget to take some screenshots!:)

The lack of autogen is a big problem if you like to "fly" at low altitudes...although,it'll make VFR flight a lot easier.

Incredible! How about performance? I know you've posted your FPS, but in comparison what sort of FPS did you used to get without?

bandit197 · 02-07-2011 08:40PM

I didn't notice any hit in FPS at all while using the scenery. Here is a quick video following the swords rd into Dublin city. Its recorded with Fraps so its a little choppy. R.E.X. is providing the weather and U.T.X. is also running adding the lighting and roads, railways etc in the correct locations, FSX then adds the traffic.

FrDougalMcguire · 02-07-2011 09:18PM

I too didnt notice any reduction in fps if anything my frame rate has improved!

Is it really 60gb in total to install?

Not sure..there's 6 dvd disks in total between the 2 Irish volumes,3 each. It'll be the weekend at the earliest before I can install them though.:(

Nforce · 23-07-2012 03:39PM

Just finished installing the 2 volumes. It requires 40GB of hard drive space. Initial impressions are that it is an excellent addon for virtual VFR flight and well worth the sale price, despite the photo tiles around my home being ~7 years out of date!

Just remember to defrag the HDD after installing for best performance.:)

Or £12.50 each at Earth Simulations. Ireland East for FSX and Ireland West (FSX)

I installed Ireland west over the weekend. Not sure if there's a problem with mine though. It took nearly 11 hours to install the contents of disc 2 and it told me that there was an error during installation but allowed me to continue anyway. Very first flight I tried I took off from Shannon, headed towards limerick and the whole city is under water :-/

I can see the roads clearly but all the terrain is lost under water. Limerick is really where I wanted to fly from, I'm not sure if the problem here is as a result of the error I got while installing.

Anybody else have difficulty with the disks?

I installed the west ireland pack as well and it took a long long time to install, maybe 3 hours.

I did get an error before it asked for disk 3, i havnt tried FSX yet but will try and report back.

Landoflemon · 15-10-2012 01:37AM

Thanks, that would be great. Chances are that maybe you have somewhere else that's been corrupted. It's unlikely that Limerick is the problem for you too, but we'll see how it goes.
