Haha! It's not small, I'll say that much. :P I cut a lot of corners with the zoom level though these days to keep the size down. Still, having a photo-realistic planet earth in a box doesn't come cheap on space I guess, lol.

Looks really good but I was thinking from an VFR point of view rather than eye candy. I use FSX with Orbx which is very accurate but more than a bit fuzzy. Motorways look like they are made of wool but they are all in the correct place. I was hoping XP11 would be a jump up.

Still testing X-Enviro...

Here is the nearest METAR, from my position :
LFBC 241300Z AUTO 27008KT 220V300 9999 DZ BKN009 BKN013 BKN018 15/13 Q1037

Here is what I see outside my window, basically a moderate rear sky :

Here is the rendition in X-Enviro :

Cruising :

On ILS final at Biarritz, south for about 100 km :

And then on "short" final, outside the previous air mass :

The METAR on the arrival was not like the real one. I need to find out why, maybe a wrong refresh rate of the weather update. But it actually matches what the in-game ATIS gave me.

I more than happy with X-Enviro, despite the price...
