Looks pretty good, although I was hoping for something more three dimensional, terrain wise.

The existing stuff is mostly flat and a bit cack looking

Real photographs and a much improved terrain mesh so it gives a good representation of what the real land looks like.

It does tend to pixellate below 2000 feet, if you are looking to fly lower then you need the new version of flight sim (FSX) and the Horizon VFR scenery that does the same thing in much higher quality

Edit, although the photos are 2d when you fly above them they give a 3d appearance because of all the shadows etc. To the best of my knowledge there isn't a scenery that combines realistic appearance and 3d features.
