North West England Virtual Scenery
MiGMan’s Combat Diary, 2000
John Miller's Glideslope Software's initial release was a scenery pack for Microsoft Flight Sim 98 and 2000 in their Now Fly Reality! series.
Let's compare the scenery in Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 before and after installing the Glideslope scenery:
Dawn at Manchester
The standard textures at Manchester Airport. Fairly icky grass and a bland runway.
Glideslope's textures applied. Much more interesting ground textures and more realistic runway.
Glideslope's textures applied. Note the runway andtaxiway lighting. This place will really come alive at night!
Manchester Airport at night - the default Flight Sim 98 scenery.
Glideslope's textures applied - now the bustling night life is apparent!
Check out the scenery from 5,000 feet altitude. The standard scenery uses generic textures for suburbia and non-suburbia.
With Glideslope's textures applied the intricate patchwork of the countryside is revealed.
Flight Sim 98 default scenery
Glideslope's textures reveal a lot more detail - to the extent where you can visually navigate to local points of interest - the local reservoir or TV transmission towers for instance.
