FSX. I never saw something so beautiful after Orbx New-Zealand. Combinations of different kind of trees, the incredible effect of houses perched atop a hill (need a video !) and the incredible amount of details in a city. With 3D Automation, France VFR is marking a new date of scenery history.
From the start, at a small airfield, you can see all kind of trees and size that give a taste of realism.
5 GB.
Rather expensive (40 euros / 52 dollars).
Framerate : very smooth and last generation processors. Smooth on older machines but rather slow when approaching large cities. France VFR really worked on this to improve the fps though.
Custom buildings architectures
Some things to improve though. What's wrong here ?
Maybe a better mesh in the future ?
Arriving at Le Havre harbor
The airports have custom buldings and towers plus some objects.
Rain effect available.
Large shoping area...
And the real one from Google Earth.
The airport of Rouen

Seems great Dom, are there any compatibility issues with other sceneries, like Earth Simulations channel islands for example, do you know?
Good question !
Can try a test with Guernsey shure. Some autogen conflict in mind ?
Let's investigate...
Hi Dom,
Look at this now aged thread from Earth Simulations forum...
http://www.earthsimulations.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=687&start=50
It references an older version of FranceVFR's products but the software tool MergeES is supposed to eliminate autogen conflicts. It seemed to work then but whether it still does with the new '3D Automation' would be worth checking? Darren from ES was very kind to solve this problem for us, and I'm pretty confident(current projects permitting!) he'd be up for taking another look at this if necessary. I'd be interested to see what your tests show...
Cheers
Kevin
