About VFR Photographic Scenery:

Explore England & Wales… Most of the beauty of England and Wales is hidden behind the hedges and walls that line our highways and byways.

X-Plane Photographic Scenery now lets you soar the skies free from air traffic control on your home computer and experience thrills normally reserved exclusively for the wealthy and the feathered.

Practice VFR Navigation… If you’re studying for, or already hold a private pilot’s licence, X-Plane Photographic Scenery the most cost effective ways of practicing VFR (Visual Flight Rules) Navigation. With every road, river, railway line, and landmark in the coverage area accurately and recognisably depicted in photographic detail, you can identify features on maps and charts to help you navigate cross country flights all over England & Wales.

Fly Reconnaissance Before Taking Flight… If you’re planning a cross-country flight over an area you’ve never flown, X-Plane Photographic Scenery allows you to fly the exact route (in your preferred weather conditions) and collect Visual Reference Points (VRPs) which you can use to plot your course when flying for real! Aerial Photography, Not Satellite Imagery X-Plane Photographic Scenery is created from survey quality aerial photography - simply the best data available. Whilst satellites may be the ’technology of the future’, they inevitably suffer from the limitations that such altitude brings to image acquisition. Often this results in a relative lack of detail (resolution) and poor representation of colours.
