LOL! My office, about 16' x 14'. It also includes two walls of bookshelves, a large cupboard, my desk (for programming) and even an Analogue IFR Flight Training simulator (ATC710) I got cheap from RC Sims.

Just scan through your scenery index in FS (World-Scenery Library). The Meshes I have are all listed there, so are all separately enablable and disablable (? <G>). The Lago TerraMesh stuff is named "TerraMeshNN Mesh <area>", the USA RealScene mesh by Eddie Scenery is "RealScene ...", and so on. the ones you MAY have for England are:
VF Photo Mesh, or Virtual Flight ... (Mine is Beta, so it says "VF GM Photo Beta2 Mesh". VF=Visual Flight, GM = GetMapping.
UKie20a or similar -- which is an all UK mesh from Visual Flight, a year or so ago.
I don't know of any others for the UK.

That's how all textures scenery works.

But here the VFRPS scenery includes all manner of greens, yellows, browns and so on, so everything looks fine. I wouldn't really expect the Airport Authorities to deliberately match their grass with the neighbouring farms crops or fallow fields! <G>

The rest? You mean plugging a cable into a COM port? If you have an extra PC or Notebook at your disposal, the COM link is far easier than setting up a Network. The COM ports are the 9-pin sockets on the rear of the PC. A "null modem" cable contains usually 3 or more wires (3 is actually sufficient) and plugs into those sockets at either end. You don't need to make one, they are sold everywhere. They are only called "null modem cables" because they eliminate the modem (actually two modems and a telephone line! <G>). They simply connect Receive at one end to Transmit at the other, and vice versa, so each PC can talk to the other. The third wire is the common, or ground, to provide the circuit.
GPSout.DLL, installed into FS's Modules folder, just like FSUIPC, automatically sends out signals which can be received by GPS-aware programs like Navigator, which then operates as a Moving Map.
What skill level is needed for that? <G>
Best regards,
Pete
