Nicely done! I always get warm and fuzzies when I fly out of SFO in the sim. I learned to fly out of KSQL, just SE of SFO. It is neat to get the high altitude view in the sim that would be much harder to get in real life (the VFR Bravo transitions are done at 1500ft along the 101 freeway).

thanks! Yeah the xplane KSFO scenery off the xplane forums with the orthos, etc....really look beautiful. It is a wonderful place to fly out of and into. My favorite is the quiet bridge visual approach. That is really cool!!!

Would you be willing to detail in a post how to replicate that scenery in X-Plane? I've got HDmesh v3 but you mentioned the ortho and I'm a little lost...

Steve this scenery is in the downloads section listed as ksfo 1.2. It includes the airport the orthos and all the buildings. You just put the folder in your custom scenery folder and that's it. The author did an amazing job on this scenery.

yep its from the same guy. That guy is a genius at scenery. He is very good and his stuff is top notch. The KLAX is outstanding scenery. Lots of activity with buses moving around, baggage carts, marshallers, etc....
