Version 2 of Hong Kong to Shaghai has been redisigned to the same format as North East China for the simulation of aircraft flying above medium altitudes in aircraft such as high performance light aircraft, Domestic or International Flights and Military Flights where the "real earth' outside the aircraft adds to the immersion of flying. The scenery is produced from 15m Next Gen satellite imagery by Earthstar Geographics. Three scenery folders are included in the package, LOD (Level Of Detail) 11, LOD 12 and a third folder containing water that has had a water mask applied over the imagery to give a real water visual experience. LOD 11 and 12 contain default water masking. Either LOD 11 or LOD 12 can be selected by the user from the simulator's scenery library. LOD 11 and LOD 12 are designed such that at lower altitudes during takeoff and approach you will see your default or add-on land class scenery around your aircraft. LOD 11 will show more of your land class scenery around the aircraft whereas LOD 12 will show less. As you climb more of the imagery scenery, LOD 11 or LOD 12 will show until you reach cruising altitude where you will see the "real" world around your aircraft. The choice between LOD 11 & LOD 12 is yours depending on the aircraft and number of monitors that you use. If you prefer the "Real" water turn the water layer on. Select whatever fits in best with any add-on airport or local higher detail scenery that you have installed. The water layer is resampled at LOD 13 so that it will display at all times. The water mask has been traced along the coast and inland until the waterway narrows or reaches a dam. From that point on, waterways will display as they are in the real world. The benefit of this type of scenery is that very large areas of the world can be produced at lower cost and with much smaller file sizes as compared to higher resolution photo scenery.

The difference between this version and version 1 is that version 2 does not include the 15m imagery option at low altitudes, however the file size is much smaller.

A must have product for flights over NE China & Hong Kong. Extremely impressed with this scenery.

Great photoreal scenery! Really gives out life when flying in China! the default scenery is very ugly over China.. but with this scenery it's extremely immersive.

Good solution to cover large areas with photo scenery. Photo scenery in the distance with landclass/autogen around the aircraft. Looks realistic from higher altitudes during cruise and allows to display highly detailed airport surroundings while on departure and approach. Should be extended to cover the rest of China, too. Especially in this part of the world, this scenery is currently the best option.

very nice!I hope that it will be better to join the satellite landscape in western China and the north in the future.

This scenery is the missing link if you are bored with the repetitive sameness of the default scenery and other ground texture products that have been around for years. This scenery is as real as it gets. Finally we have a product that looks from the flight deck exactly like the real thing. It enhances the realism of the flight sim experience greatly. Note that this is not a low altitude VFR product. It is more suited to higher altitude flying with airliners or military aircraft.To really see the benefit you do need to be above 5000 feet or so. The higher you are, the better it gets. Once you attain cruising altitude, I cannot think of another product that rivals this software. I thoroughly recommend this software to you.
