After many years of FSX, buying and enjoying many scenery titles, i now can say this is MY MOST FAVOURITE SCENERY!! THE BEST of the best, if you like sharp textures, mountains, lakes, estuaries.... Volume 1 and 2 are stunning! Taking off from Annecy, seeing the city as if autogen is on it, but made of crisp and contrastfull photo's... is amazing... the lake, the mountains... I wished i could enclose screenshots. Courchevel with its steap runway, no buildings... but also a starting point in the beautifull south of the scenery of vol.2... Most mountains are in such high resolution... you can almost grab the stones...
Photo's of trees and buildings are so sharp, you do not miss autogen. Detailes airports can be bought from VFR France and other developers.
If you like flying nature as being there, i really recommend part 1 and 2!!!
