TrueEarth Great Britain - X-Plane 11

Not bad at all, although I cranked up the settings for the screenshots. It looks great in VR but I haven’t flown over London yet…

Yeovil airfield, Yeovil, Somerset. This is the home to what was once Westland Aircraft who made the Lysander and Whirlwind during WW2. Later they became famous as a helicopter manufacturer. Later they merged with Augusta, and more recently they dropped the Westland name to become Leonardo.

This is a stretch of the A303 in Somerset that I am very familiar with. There really is a Shell garage (filling station) at this location…

Stonehenge…

Departing Luton, and flying over The Luton Hoo, which is a stately home that is now a hotel. I have stayed there a number of times. Very peaceful, and just 5 minutes from the airport. Just what you want after flying through the night all the way from Texas.

I know RNAS Yeovilton pretty well - that looks great.

Any coast shots? I used to live near Burton Bradstock in Dorset and am keen to see how well it does the water masks. :wink:

You and I were almost neighbors then. I was raised in the Axe Valley, and went to school in Lyme Regis…
I should go to bed, but…

brb.

I gues this

Chesil beach and Burton Bradstock look lovely! I took the family to Burton this summer and made the mistake of carrying my son in a backpack carrier nearly the length of that beach! I looked like lance armstrong the next day! Next time I’m flying!

Chuck, as @NEVO mentioned, I use Ultra Weather 2.4 combined with FSGRW, although in this case I went with improved conditions so I could show off the terrain a bit.

That looks amazing - thanks for doing it. Looking really forward to getting this set up.

this almost gives the urge to actually set up my office with my VR and flight stuff. almost.

so much work :frowning:

That’s what I think whenever I buy a driving game. I almost set up my wheel every time.

I have to mount some shelves though.

Here’s a few from a local flight, I know this wont mean anything unless you are familiar with the area, but I wanted to indicate how accurate this is.


What used to be RAF Woodley, now the “airfield” estate, where Douglas Bader crashed and lost his legs prior to WW2. The factories to the left are what survive of the main RAF buildings.


White Waltham airfield, just outside of Maidenhead, used by the Air Transport Auxiliary to ferry aircraft in WW2. I used to work at the office park on the left of the picture, which is accurate down to the atrium’s in the middle of the buildings.


Ascot Racecourse, with its unusual grandstand.

I’ve never seen any work for the UK as detailed as this in any flightsim scenery I’ve purchased before. Its better than the ORBX UK for P3D. Its expensive, but for flying VFR I think its fantastic.

Now time to leave it and head for Pago Pago. :slight_smile:
