Just Flight has released the first volume in their new series of UK photographic scenery, VFR Real Scenery NexGen 3D Vol. 1: Southern England & South Wales for FSX and Prepar3D.
NexGen 3D is the next generation of Just Flight’s hugely popular VFR Real Scenery series. It makes use of 25cm/px and 50cm/px aerial imagery from 2015 onwards to create a general in-sim resolution of 1.2m/px. But, around airports and points of interest the level of detail increases to 60cm/px.
However, it’s not just imagery, this add-on makes use of Just Flight’s new GenMart system to add a lengthy array of autogen objects for an immersive 3D feel to the scenery. The combination of both is said to give a truly realistic representation of flying over the real world adding trees, houses and other miscellaneous buildings all placed where their real-world counterparts are located.
You can find the complete list of features and coverage map towards the end of this article.
You can grab a hold of VFR Real Scenery NexGen 3D Vol. 1: Southern England & South Wales on JustFlight’s website for a price of €30.95 (Incl. VAT) for FSX/SE and Prepar3D v1-4.
