    X-Plane Photographic Scenery - Vol 3 - Northern England and North Wales ** Description
    VFR photographic scenery for X-Plane - No more blocky, repetitive scenery...

    For a long time one of the shortcomings of the incredible X-Plane software has been the quality of the default scenery. Well not anymore! Like VFR Photographic Scenery (for Microsoft Flight Simulator), X-Plane Photographic Scenery uses Getmapping PLC's award winning aerial photography, and gives you the same breathtaking views from your virtual cockpit that real pilots enjoy in flight...
    By replacing the default X-Plane scenery for England and Wales (provided by Laminar Research) with real aerial photography, X-Plane Photographic Scenery allows you to enjoy the beautiful countryside of England & Wales, taking in a completely new perspective of the country we live in at a fraction of the cost of flying.

    Believable views from your virtual cockpit:
    You won't believe your eyes as you take off from your local airport and fly over your home town for the first time! The photographic scenery is generated from aerial photography at 25 cm resolution and is displayed at c. 9.6m/pixel Ð the maximum resolution feasible in X-Plane. Horizon's exclusive use of Getmapping's imagery means that X-Plane Photographic Scenery is the only add-on which can offer you such incredible detail and realism over England & Wales.

    Explore England & Wales:
    Most of the beauty of England and Wales is hidden behind the hedges and walls that line our highways and byways. As such, it's not until one actually takes to the skies for a bird's eye view that they can say they really know England & Wales. X-Plane Photographic Scenery now lets you soar the skies free from air traffic control on your home computer and experience thrills normally reserved exclusively for the wealthy and the feathered.

    Practice VFR Navigation:
    If you're studying for, or already hold a private pilot's licence, X-Plane Photographic Scenery the most cost effective ways of practising VFR (Visual Flight Rules) Navigation.
    With every road, river, railway line, and landmark in the coverage area accurately and recognisably depicted in photographic detail, you can identify features on maps and charts to help you navigate cross country flights all over England & Wales.

    Fly Reconnaissance Before Taking Flight:
    If you're planning a cross-country flight over an area you've never flown, X-Plane Photographic Scenery allows you to fly the exact route (in your preferred weather conditions) and collect Visual Reference Points (VRPs) which you can use to plot your course when flying for real!

    Aerial Photography, Not Satellite Imagery!
    X-Plane Photographic Scenery is created from survey quality aerial photography - simply the best data available. Whilst satellites may be the 'technology of the future', they inevitably suffer from the limitations that such altitude brings to image acquisition. Often this results in a relative lack of detail (resolution) and poor representation of colours.

    Being acquired from an aeroplane flying at c. 5,500 AGL, in the best possible light and weather conditions, Getmapping's Millennium Map is the perfect source data of England & Wales for uses in flight simulation Ð giving you the views that the pilots of the survey aircraft would have seen on their acquisition sorties (Within the limitations of X-Plane itself!)
