VFR Generation X goes gold!

Helicopter low over Welsh mountains

VFR Generation X is the stunning new high resolution photographic scenery from Horizon Simulation which transforms FSX into a superbly flyable, super-accurate and detailed rendition of the whole of England and Wales. With a photo texture resolution of just over 1m per pixel (sixteen times more detailed than your existing VFR Photographic Scenery) and a terrain mesh resolution of less than 5m (four time more detailed than VFR Terrain even), the end results are stunning, allowing low level flight with incredible detail in the ground scenery and very few, if any, of the performance problems which sometimes made flying with the original VFR Photographic difficult to set up.

Although John Farrie (Visual Flight) has not been involved in the development of VFR Generation X, he is very excited about its release as a flight sim user (yes, he do occasionally get a chance to fly in Flight Simulator as well as developing for it), and he says he's had more fun with the demo scenery than he has for some time, even to the extent of getting the 3D glasses out to experience the stomach churning sensation of cresting the ridges and passes of the Welsh mountain, following tracks and roads around the mountain sides and through the valleys, seeing the Welsh scenery as he's never seen it before - except in real life of course!

In recognition of Visual Flight's role in creating and developing the original VFR Photographic Scenery, Horizon Simulation (publishers of VFR Generation X) have made special arrangements for VFR Generation X to be pre-ordered through the Visual Flight web site. Orders taken this way will be processed by Horizon Simulation just as if they had been ordered direct from the publisher, with Horizon Simulation being more than happy to give a little back to Visual Flight in the form of a percentage of each sale.

Users pre-ordering via Visual Flight will be ensuring that they receive their copy of FR Generation X at the earliest opportunity. Horizon Simulation will be shipping all such pre-orders so that they are delivered on or before the official release date.

VFR Generation X covers the whole of England and Wales plus the Isle of Man, and is released in three volumes priced at £29.99 GBP per volume. You can save £20 by ordering all three volumes together for just £69.99 GBP:

To those who have already pre-ordered VFR Generation X, Visual Flight would like to extend a very sincere thank you for your loyalty and support.
