Hi Frank,>>That is explained by the time the photographs were taken. The "Eye" was still being constructed then.<<
I hadn't thought of that. However, central London is still very disappointing.
>>Have you found Pete's links with "Get Mapping"?<<
Yes. I visited their website. It is very expensive. We're talking $100s. But the resolution is very much better than VFR, and I'm sure those who want to go for it will find it very satisfying. I tried multimap.com, which allows free access to photographic scenery for most of UK, but the resolution is not significantly better that VFR's. though you can buy higher resolutions.
At present I'm messing about with LAGO's FS Scenery Enhancer. Looks interesting. Ubnique in that it works within FS. You sit in your cockpit and select and add objects right in front of you. I haven't seen any discussion about this new software here yet.
Happy New Year,
David Hanstater
