Flight Simulator FSX Scenery Tutorial 1


Flight Simulator FSX Scenery Tutorial
Very significant advances in scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator X have been introduced over the past few years. High definition monitors along with ever faster 3D graphics have made what once was a future dream of realistic flight scenery on a moderate cost desktop PC a stark reality today.  This FSX tutorial provides an introduction to scenery for new FSX pilots.
FSX Native Scenery
FSX out of the box provides a set of scenery covering the world which provides a limited set of scenery at reduced resolution. Scenery is displayed of natural 3D terrain, some stock building types and specific buildings created for well known landmarks such as the Las Vegas strip.
Adding Scenery to FSX
Numerous advancements in FSX scenery such as the MegasceneryX disks from www.megasceneryearth.com provide a great view while flying your simulated aircraft. The scenery view of the ground is displayed at 1.19 meters per pixel. This resolution combined with the topographic mapping creates the 3D effect of mountains and other natural features in the area you are flying in.
By buying Flight Simulator Gold Edition, which includes FSX Deluxe and the Acceleration Expansion Pack, you will experience the fastest performance possible from your computer. The scenery add-ons provide higher resolution imagery so that you can find your own house (if you live in an area with good satellite imagery).
Other Scenery
Also available are special interest area scenery packs which provide 3D items from areas such as the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
