M31 0 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I love the Playsims/Horizon VFR photo scenery for the type of flying I like to do and I see we have Treescapes for the England volumes, anyone using this? seems a bit expensive but if it adds to the atmosphere I'll probably give it a go. http://www.flightstore.co.uk/Treescapes%20Complete.asp Link to post Share on other sites
David TRIGGS 0 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Yes, I would be interested in information on this product (TREESCAPES VOLUME 1 South England & South Wales I have but have not yet installed). I have just installed Horizon's VFR Photographic Scenery veR3 Generation X Southern England & South Wales, along with its stablemate UK2000 VFR Airfields vol1 ... but do these trees really add much visually (given that they take up a chunk of disk space!)? Also, does on need to have internet on the same machine as FSX? ...... Affaire à suivre ...... David Link to post Share on other sites
Sabre 28 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Yep I too love the Horizon Scenery, in fact I have all their scenery apart from the latest Lowlands of Scotland, though it's only a matter of time before I get it bearing in mind my home field is EGNT Newcastle. I can highly recommend treescapes, it really does add a new dimension to the photo scenery - Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Yes I can also highly recommend the UK2000 VFR Airfields which blend in superbly with Horizon scenery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D9f084oOP4&hd=1 Link to post Share on other sites
M31 0 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks Sabre, you've sold me on this The Playsim/Horizon VFR scenery is outstanding but once you get low the effect is spoiled somewhat, looks like Treescapes goes some measure to making this more acceptable at low altitudes, quick question though, do the colour of the tree's change with seasons? if for example its been snowing do we see snow covered tree's, it might look a bit odd if not I'll give UK 2000 VFR airfields some consideration too once my funds recover ... bought Aerosoft Antartica X as well as Playsims VFR Scotland south today, I think you will like this latest VFR volume if you plan to do the whole UK like I do Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,487 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 If you are a Gen X user, TreeScapes will take it to another level, they are not designed to be 100% accurate but they are near enough, I can vouch for that as to land at my local farm strip yo have to aim for a copse of trees and bank sharp left to align with the runway and it's right there, in TreeScapes too!

M31 0 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks Guys, I'll be looking to purchase Treescapes soon, disregard my comment asking if we had snow covered tree's with this scenery ... I dont think current VFR scenery has land snowscapes either, moot point on my part Maybe we'll see an FSX add on called, Snowscapes VFR ? in the future Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,010 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Get designing Colin. You may have a hit there. Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 996 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Treescapes makes a world of difference, and is worth every penny. In fact I'd heartily recommend any of Darren's sceneries. I'd also suggest if you buy them you get them direct from EarthSims site -- cut out the middle man... http://www.earthsimulations.com Link to post Share on other sites
M31 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks for the feedback folks. Ordered the three Treescapes volumes for my England scenery and grabbed the South Ireland VFR photo scenery with Cork bundle too, that's me up to date with Horizon/Playsim photo scenery now Link to post Share on other sites
