Just Flight announces VFR Photographic Scenery

UK-based Just Flight has today released information on its latest upgrade for Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2002 . VFR Photographic Scenery is the result of a collaboration between Just Flight, aerial photographic company Getmapping, and developer Visual Flight. The upgrade allows players to fly over photo-realistic scenery across England and Wales, although it will initially be sold by region. The first volume, containing some 1.8Gb of data, will be released in the UK later this month and covers East and Southeast England.

"This is quite simply the most incredible upgrade to Flight Simulator I have ever seen," said Mungo Amyatt-Leir, managing director at Just Flight. "The reaction of users seeing their own street and local landmarks is infectious."

The first of the VFR Photographic Scenery upgrade packs is scheduled for release in the UK at the end of October, with further packs covering the rest of England and Wales to follow. No North American release has been confirmed at this time, but we'll bring you more information on the game as it becomes available.
