Western Isles

AIR > FSX > Scotland

It's been a long time coming, but at last the first photographic scenery of Scotland is here! Using the very best aerial photography and terrain data available, VFR Generation X: V4 - Scotland: The Western Isles, is the first volume in a series of five ultra-high definition photographic sceneries, that will ultimately cover the whole of mainland Scotland and outlying islands.  
Substituting real aerial photography and terrain data for Microsoft's generic, default scenery, means that the views you see from your virtual cockpit are literally 'real' - you see exactly what the pilots of the survey aircraft saw when they captured the aerial photography.

VFR Generation X - Volume 4 Scottish Western Isles
Format: 3 x duel layer DVD's
Upgrade for: Microsoft FSX


VFR Generation X Scotland will add a further 5 volumes of ultra-high definition scenery to the existing series of 3 for England & Wales, allowing you to enjoy unsurpassed detail from Lands End to John O'Groats.

The resolution and accuracy of the data used to create this content makes VFR Generation X the most detailed and accurate flight simulation scenery ever released commercially for Scotland - including those used by civilian and military flight training institutions that costs thousands of times more.

Serving as testament to its realism, VFR Generation X is used by thousands of private pilots across the globe, and by commercial and military pilots from some of the world's most revered flying institutions.

High Definition Photographic Scenery
Newly acquired for Scotland, Getmapping's photography is the imagery of choice for the world's leading defence contractors and simulation professionals. Thanks to recent advancements in the capabilities of home PCs, we've been able to provide this data as scenery at 60cm/pixel, meaning you can fly at altitudes less than 500ft and still have pin sharp scenery.
Using new terrain data from Getmapping's latest aerial surveys, VFR Generation X gives users minute topographic detail that shows every lump and bump in Scotland - all fully correlated to provide the perfect fit with the aerial photography, adding dramatically to the immersion that this sythentic environment provides.
Hand edited Custom Night Scenery:
Night-lighting for the Western Isles was painstakingly created by hand for utmost realism. (Whilst night lighting for the Orkneys & Shetlands (Vol. 5) will be created in the same way, the larger mainland volumes may not use this technique.)
Real Water Textures (Exclusive to VFR Generation X):
Like VFR Generation X England & Wales, water bodies in Scotland have been designed to retain the natural water colours shown by the aerial photograhy as far as possible, again adding to the scenery's immersion. In addition, they will provide a moving, reflective surface that will allow float aircraft operations, and will even let you see through to sub-surface features like sand bars and underwater channels. Flight Simulator X now provides very much more realistic water effects and allows considerably more freedom in the way that such scenery is created. Gone are the days of Caribbean blue water in UK scenery - VFR Generation X water bodies will give you very realistic water colours (individual to each water body), will provide a moving, reflective surface, will allow float aircraft operations, and will even let you see through to sub-surface features like sand bars and underwater channels.
Enhanced Performance
Smooth frame rates with crisp, sharp photographic scenery - VFR Generation X has been specifically designed to optimise performance and reduce the effects of blurry scenery textures, even on lower spec. systems. 3D Objects Demo (Snowdonia & North West Wales)s, trees, vehicles, and thousands of other accurately placed 3D objects. (Full Compatibility with ScotFlight
To ensure compatibility with other content for Scotland, Horizon has been coordinating efforts with the talented scenery designers from ScotFlight, who have been busy re-positioning existing content, and adding further 3D objects and greater detail to their already outstanding sceneries.  be follow.)
