Default New UK scenery coming for FSX

They have many pics of the software here-

Does anyone in the UK think it looks real?

Hard to say if you don't know the area, but I did randomly click on an airfield shot, the title says it's EGDM which is Boscombe Down, but the airfield is in fact Brize Norton (EGVN). The representation of Brize is really very good, I can easily identify many parts -



1. Explosive Storage Area
2. Site 5 - training area (many nights on exercise here!)
3. 10/101 Sqns
4. JATEU (Joint Air Transport Evaluation Unit) - they do the maths behind carrying/chucking stuff out of aircraft
5. Air Terminal
6. VC10 engine detuners (very, very noisy)
7. Ground Electrical (iirc)
8. My old hanger, don't know what it's used for now.
9. Base Hanger (once the largest cantilever roof structure)

Somewhere in the town behind you can see about six years wages in the three pubs.

So compared to many other scenery add-ons I've seen, this is very good, as long as they get the name and codes right.

We have all seen so many different renditions of scenery for FSX, it hard to know if its even close if you've never been there.

Thanks
