Thanks, yes they are exactly the ones I meant when I said I found some areas as attachments. But now I have a taste for them I need more! In fact these include where I live in South East England, but not the area nearby to the north, so if I head in that direction, as I often do, the scenery turns to junk after 5-10 minutes as I’m then back into a default scenery area.

But I fly all over the UK (and elsewhere of course), so I’m really hoping for that, and I think I read that Michael did all of it. And that’s why I was also prepared to pay him, because it’s a large area. But it looks like I’m too late.

Thanks AOB. I’m actually coming back to Aerofly from MSFS.

I had Aerofly FS2 before MSFS came out, but I mostly enjoy flying in VR around places I’ve been to IRL, so for me that means lots of UK. But I finally got fed up with my PC struggling with MSFS more and more for some reason, even with a 2080ti, although the CPU is lagging behind a little.

I tried Aerofly FS2 again, then saw there was now FS4 so tried that. As hoped, super smooth in VR, rapid loading times and stable (so far). I found a few of Micheal’s UK scenery areas on this forum which had been attached by someone else. What I didn’t realise is that he’s since disappeared so I can’t get any more.

So unless I can fix this it looks like I’ve wasted my time and money with Aerofly. The Global Scenery is nowhere near detailed enough for VFR IMO. And even Micheal’s great scenery's doesn’t fix the poor elevation data though. The Seven Sisters coastal cliffs for example are, er, pretty flat! But I can compromise on that to get trouble free VR with decent scenery textures etc.

But unless I can find a solution I guess I’m ordering that replacement gaming PC a bit earlier than I’d planned, but at least it will be ready for MSFS 2024!

It’s a shame that IPACS don’t offer official high res scenery for the whole globe. But because they don’t, it’s also a shame that they don’t provide better support to assist people attempting to do that themselves. As I understand it the main scenery export program used requires the FS2 SDK, but that’s legacy so the link from it to IPACS is broken.

But there it is. Thanks again for your reply and sorry about the rant.

Hi all

This is probably a dodgy request, but does anybody please know where I can get hold of Michael/IZOJUB scenery files, specifically for the UK? I've tried to get in contact with him with an offer to purchase them. I've waited quite a while and haven't received a reply so the only option I have left is to ask for them elsewhere or abandon this sim as it's of no use to me without decent scenery for the areas in which I want to fly.

I even had a go at making my own scenery but didn't get very far.

Thanks very much
