Looks good but 68GB? Games are getting too big of a download for me to bother. Right now downloading WatchDogs2 and that is 20GB. Damn ISPs and their data caps is a crime against humanity and must be stopped.

It took me 27 hours to download it on my rural connection. That was just for the main program, North America and Europe. I get 4mbps on a good day. Fortunately there is no data cap though. I have been adding more regions each night while I am sleeping. Still, you only have to do it once I guess.

As people have been putting requests in, I wonder how my local airport and area looks like in XP11. EGNV and surrounding area please!

I think for easier reference, here are the landmarks I am particularly interested in which are immediately around the airport. I've been to these areas a good few times so I will know at least if the roads and the immediate surroundings are correct or how close to correct they are. Please take screenshots of these areas, if possible with the aircraft to the west with the shot facing east, at around 2000-4000 AGL.




The first circle (leftmost) is the intersection where I'd get off the A66 to head towards the airport. Second circle is usually where I get ON the A66 when heading for the airport. Third circle is another common intersection and is now closer to some buildings. Last circle is a very familiar area and should be easy for me to identify. The spot with "Hobbycraft" is a large retail park and is quite visible from the air and I'd be very much impressed if the terrain/scenery would include it.

Any help appreciated!

It is indeed. Though, it's one of the older planes, so modelling, cockpit textures and everything isn't completely up to snuff.

Yep, that is one tough plane to fly at high altitudes. I lost control at 65k and it went into
a flat spin. No way to regain control. Must have stalled at speed.

That's part of xEnviro, an environment plugin I'm beta tester for. Really some amazing stuff these guys have created.

Nice shots of the CRJ Ryujin! I am looking forward to flying it again (once I get the download link re-activated, they are being rather slow at taking care of that).
