Hi Rodeo,

Is this what you are after, if not, what exactly do you need data wise.

Would love:
Runways for all world airports

and have AF2 recognize my VRInsight Boeing MCP II
Any know if there is a way to use this website for scenery: Zoom Earth
A handy site to compare Bing Maps vs Google Maps: Bing vs Google Maps
Another handy tool: Find Latitude & Longitude
It is a handy tool for getting the "lat long" using the cross hair.
Gooseno1 - When you zoom into an area on that site look on the bottom right to see what the source is. It's likely to be either Microsoft (Bing), Google or some government source like USGS (for the US). There are barely any other free original sources out there.
My apologies, you are correct.
That site uses imagery from different sources. You can see on the bottom right the copyright details of sources used. I've zoomed into a few places and can see the source when zoomed in to a detailed level tends to be Microsoft - being Bing/Virtual Earth.
The images I see are very clear, much better than Bing (well, for my area anyway)

Every time I see a post praise VR, I see a cry for helicopter along with it.
Angry palm tree's, dangerous things!
Even Flightgear managed somehow to come up with a database that seemed to have the airport footprints, so I'm assuming this is all possible, maybe for Ipacs to just lay footprints for the world's airports?
Here you go: Our Airports
The problem even with Level D simulators is that the motion always lags a tiny bit behind the visual.
That's why flying visual approaches in such a sim is more difficult than IRL and taxiing is motion sickness inducing.
Yep and it's horrible. A funny thing though, I get sea sick, car sick but not air sick
Display MoreHi,
now I found the time to test this feature and it worked immediately for me.
This is my main.cfg:
This is my folder structure:
Due to some issues reported earlier, I suggest:
Do not call the extra_user_folder scenery, this may lead to confusion with the subfolder. I used the name ipacs instead.
Use only standard characters.
Avoid blanks.
Use small characters, no capital characters.
The extra_user_folder has to contain a subfolder named scenery.
The subfolder scenery has to contain a subfolder images (thanks to Mick for his comment).
It may work without all these suggestions, but if we can avoid trouble we should do it.
Enjoy aerofly FS 2

Thanks Rodeo, this worked for me.
Obviously some moves in a plane might make you feel a bit uncomfortable but those some moves would also make you unconfortable in real life. In fact, I expect some manouvers to make me feel a bit uncomfortable so this all helps with the immersion.
In other words: you won't know if VR will make you sick until you've tried it (for some time).
I get motion sickness in a full motion simulator, though not in real aircraft
I just confirmed that this is indeed working.
Ray, did you happen to manually enter the field into the main.mcf file? The last update should have entered the field automatically.
When you create a folder on a different drive, name it one word (example: test), inside the folder add a sub folder: scenery. Inside the scenery folder add folders: places and images.
Also, make sure that you don't have duplicates in the documents folder and your newly created folder.
Confirm all of this and respond back to let us know if you got anywhere
Hi Jeff,
I am having the same issue, it doesn't work.
<[string8][extra_user_folder][E:\sim_scenery\scenery\images]>
Yes, flying any published approach is fun indeed. Unfortunately it won't work well with VR. I need to be able to see that chart all the time which can't be done with VR. Which is a shame.
That's why I don't fly VR + I would get sick
Try flying an NDB approach, it's great fun.
