Finally broke down and bought REX, even though it wasn't on sale. And, somehow, just realized that FSX has a C208B...

Hope they didn't use it for spare parts for other planes 
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Uugh...Chino looks horrible. I'm waiting for MegasceneryEarth 2.0 ( http://www.megasceneryearth.com/store/cart.php) to get to SoCal. Then maybe we can build a proper Chino and surrounding area. Jason

Or get UTX/Scenery Tech Landclass and then add FTX Global when that comes out. I bet that will look a lot better. It'll cost you $150 though... But I guess that's $150 for all of North America...

This is Chino in FSX. Thanks. This Google Earth satellite view will show you how far off the texture is to reality. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=33.974722,...mp;t=h&z=15I wasn't expecting you to pop into this thread when I asked about Chino.  I agree that it looks horrible plus there are too many trees and not enough dairy farms around Chino with the land stripped bare. The lack of any aircraft on the airfield is disappointing too. Wheels

Ya I'm sure that will look a lot better, but I have a soft spot for photo-real tiles like in Megascenery. It's not perfect, but when you add some of the bigger cities and good 3rd party airports and landmarks it can be really nice. I never liked the autogen in FSX. One you get about 5K in the air it makes me feel I am flying over some real terrain and can do true VFR. I just wish I had more time for FSX and X-Plane. To each their own though. Jason

I've been tempted to go with Megascenery for California, but I'm a VFR bush flier at heart, so photoscenery usually looks bad at the altitudes I tend to fly (at least based on their Vegas/Reno and Oahu scenery I have), and now that Orbx will be releasing FTX NA Northern California and FTX NA South Alaska this year, Southern California can't be too far behind since I know it will sell a lot of copies.

I'd just wait until the give CA the 2.0 treatment. The Obrbx stuff is great of course, but I don't like flying from that to a region that is not. I kind of like a uniform appearance as I fly from state to state. Both solutions have it's advantages and disadvantages. When the FTX stuff goes global I'll definitely check it out. I just can't help but be intrigued about flying from LA to NY over tiles of the actual USA. To me that is simming. Jason

Jason I think the only reasonable thing to do here is to export the entire FSX scenery library to the RoF engine. How hard could that be?
