FScene for FSX makes a great difference indeed.

Do you fly over your favorite country and think that it could be a little more...friendly?
Have you noticed that the scenery around Acapulco is a bit flat for such a big conurbation? Are your seasons looking similar?
It's time to apply the FScene effect! This innovative software transforms the default scenery textures of Microsoft's Flight Simulator to something with far greater realism. Mountains, forests, jungles and deserts take on a new 3-dimensional feel; the countryside is subtly transformed and urban areas look more... urbane. The world's continents are improved across the four seasons as the generic ground textures are replaced with more realistic ones.

The program is replacing thousands of ground-textures with new texture files, that are specially designed to match the characteristics of the landscape on the different continents much better than the default ones do... Additionally, a special drawing technique applied to the textures gives them almost the impression of being three-dimensional. No matter if you fly over cities, springtime meadows, Caribbean Islands, or South American rainforest, FScene will turn every flight into an optical experience of enhanced realism.
It includes spring, summer, autumn, winter and snowy hard winter to give your flying a makeover that lasts all year! Higher frame rates and as a special treat: FScene FSX packs always contain complete 2009 versions for FSX plus full FS9 scenery as well.

FScene facts:
* How it works: Flight Simulator uses a large number of textures to define the ground you see
when flying. These textures are applied based on the type of ground it is. Farm, rock, desert,
fields, villages, towns, cities, forest, woods and so on. They are also varied depending on the
part of the world you are in So, for instance, forests in England will look different from
forests in Australia. Finally they are varied according to the season of the year. FScene
provides enhanced replacement for a large proportion of these default textures. Each volume
replaces the default textures for a particular area of the world. The FScene versions are
designed to give a much more 3-Dimensional visual effect and also created using shades that
are much more realistic for their location in the world.

* FScene provides matched replacements for all the seasonal versions Spring, Summer, Fall,
Winter and beautiful snowy Hard Winter. The seasonal versions of the textures are carefully
designed to give a more realistic variation than that provided by the default.

* Fscene does not affect the use of special add-ons for roads, rivers, traffic, clouds, autogen
since it replaces only the ground textures in Flight Simulator.

* FScene works fine with add-on mesh terrain scenery since it replaces the ground textures in
Flight Simulator and just as the default textures will flow to match the ups and downs of the
terrain so will FScene.

* FScene works fine with custom airport sceneries such as British Airports, German Airports
or World Airports. It will only affect the ground outside the perimeter of airports. All the
default airports and any custom ones you have installed will appear exactly as intended.

* FScene is carefully designed to work with the default autogen in Flight Simulator. It also has
the added advantage that its enhanced 3D appearance can give the ground a much more 3
Dimensional appearance even from heights where the autogen is no longer visible.

* FScene will definitely not slow down the performance of Flight Simulator. A part of the
replacement textures for FSX even are of smaller size as the default ground textures. You
will therefore even see some increased level of performance after installing FScene.

* FScene makes no permanent changes to your Flight Simulator that cannot be undone.
Just replace the ../world/texture folder with the backup you made when installing FScene.
