MegaScenery 2004-New York

[Dave Schwartz]

Anyone buy this add on. I did and am kind of disappointed. I almost feel
that the original scenery was better.

I agree. The SoCal scenery was only decent over the Mojave desert and that
was where it cut off. I think apart from the poor quality of the satelite
images it also suffers because the developers seem to have a fixation with
urbanised areas. The US has spectacular scenery and what did we get? - the
biggest urban sprawl imaginable and in such poor quality you can't recognise
any landmarks properly.

I might have been interested in Northern California if it covered Yosemite,
but.......

I've only had it for a few minutes. I was not impressed with a lot of
it, and it's too bad it only has only Winter and Summer.

However, for the first time I was able to follow the road from
Greenwood Lake airport over to my house about ten miles away. It was
pretty realistic, notwithstanding the blurry view below 3,000 feet.

So, for flying out the boondocks it's pretty okay. Much, much more
better as a trainer (I'm a student pilot) than the usual fake stuff
that's always wrong.

Flew over eastern Canada, over Quebec City and on to Montreal. Lots of
little bridges.....no buildings, no landmarks, nada. Good thing I was
flying IFR or I would never have known I was over Montreal, one of the
largest cities in Canada.

FS2000 was somewhat better in that department. I've made myself feel better
by admitting I enjoy the ATC more than the scenery, so I'll just sit back
and relax about it.
