James.. have that one already in FS2002.


Volume in drive F is Edmain Tank 80 GB -- Directory of :
F:\FS2002\SCENE - Mesh\FSGenesis - British Isles 76m\Scenery

12/04/2003 04:15p 18,455,206 en2.bgl

Those are MESH files which work the same (same spec I believe) for
FS2000, FS2002, FS2004. Land Class are files which tell the Sim which
Terrain Texture (bitmaps) to apply in what spot (location). The BGL
spec (SCENERY) has generally changed in FS2004 however.

Land Class (LC) makes a BIG difference in the appearance of your
Scene. First it's a good idea to install hi-res Mesh.. then acquire
some LC files. They aren't easy to find. www.fsfreeware.com has many
buy they have for instance 9.95 reg fees.

http://www.fsfreeware.com/ they have a terra-server or something...

Was thinking or posting some classic caps' and sim images now-
and-then. Here's one such animation of a Heathrow departure:

No.. London isn't on fire.. that's EZ-Landmark!!

EZ-L labels scenery objects and displays distance/bearing..
however it soaks-up framerate!!
