[Default Scenery*] [X-Plane Photographic Scenery]
By replacing the default X-Plane scenery for England and Wales (provided by Laminar Research) with real aerial photography, X-Plane Photographic Scenery allows you to enjoy the beautiful countryside of England & Wales, taking in a completely new perspective of the country we live in at a fraction of the cost of flying.
"...striking photographic realism ... this is indeed high-tech scenery."
[Gyroflight - The Magazine of the British Rotorcraft Association]
"…every road, town and airfield in striking detail."
[PC Pilot Magazine]
As well as providing spectacular and captivating scenery to explore, watching the real world go by your virtual cockpit window also gives you a unique opportunity to use X-Plane for learning/practising many aspects of flying in the real world.
[Boeing 737 over Lake District] [KingAir over Northern England]
Allowing you to practice realistic VFR Navigation, plan flights, simulate a real flight, and become familiar with a landing circuit or training area, X-Plane Photographic Sceneries let you refine your piloting skills at home in your spare time, saving you tuition fees and accelerating your training program.
