Washington DC area scenery

[Tony_Fletcher]

Hello, all,

I've been using X-Plane 10 to practice approaches, VOR tracking, etc. for my instrument rating.

I've just purchased a new, more powerful video card for my Mac Pro Quad-core.

What other add-ons and extras should I add to X-Plane 10 for better graphics?

Specifically, DCA area scenery would be great.

Thanks!

I can't say I know the quality, but you may want to consider this: http://secure.simmarket.com/tropicalsim-washington-national-kdca-x-plane-10.phtml

I own TruScenery's  TropicalSim's KDCA, and also Aruba and Sao Paulo. All these airports are very good and comparable to Aerosoft's airports (but somehow nobody seems to care about them :-/ Maybe because they are only available at SimMarket?)

 

You just need to make sure to turn the n umber of objects (not airport objects) high enough (I think "tons"), otherwise not everything will be visible.

Where can I find TruScenery's KDCA to compare? The package at the Sim market looks good. Thanks!

I take it you meant to say TropicalSim?

Argh ... I'm sorry, yes!

I ended up purchasing the TropicalSim DCA package. Pretty nice, although it's quite the frame-rate hog!
