  I just purchased the FScene4x total package and am surprised to see that it is even better than all the previous texture packages for both FS9 and FSX.
  MANY KUDOS. Jim
  

• John Huthwaite (private message)
  Hi Ruud. I have just bought, downloaded and running the USA/Canada scenery. It is absolutely wonderful and am currently flying around Ketchigan in South Alaska and also round Chicago at night.
  Thanks a million for such wonderful scenery. John
  

• Christopher Marshall (flightsim.com)
  These new textures are excellent, they have opened up a whole new world to the flightsimmer. I could not believe the huge difference that they have made, they really are brilliant. I have been a flightsimmer for many years and this has been the best addon that I have installed and believe me I have tried many.
  Congratulations to the designer for an A1 product. Cheers. Chris. Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!
  

• Ferry Spaan (previous owner of FSMagazine -the Netherlands)
  Thanks for your very quick response (stopped the clock at 20 minutes ) And I never really thanked you for your product! Although my wife never liked the idea of spending so much money on Flightsim addons which I had to compromise with taking her out for dinner at the same amount (so you know in which type of restaurant I had to go), I still enjoy it every day. Together with FSGlobal2005 I think I have purchased a very good combination.
  Regards, Ferry
  

• From Andrew Herd  - (Reviewer Flightsim.com)
  Last time I reviewed FScene, I couldn't help wondering why Microsoft didn't just go out and hire Ruud to do the FS2004 textures for them. Now I have the luxury of going back and taking a second look at them, I find I still think that way, so I guess these textures from the flying Dutchman deserve their Armchair Aviator Award. Unlike so many addons, Ruud's textures have made a permanent home on my hard disk.

• From Ian Scott  - (Reviewer AVSIM.com)
  All I can say is this: Since I bought Ruud's texture sets, my enjoyment of FS has been immeasurably enhanced. I enjoy looking at the scenery in ways that no previous experience of flight simming has ever given me. Though the default FS2004 Ground Textures are a huge improvement over the past, Ruud's give a much more "3D" and "textured" look and at times the scenery almost looks "photorealistic."

• From Francois 'Navman' Dumas  - (Managing Editor SimFlight.com)
  Ruud Faber, the masterful creator of the FScene2004 replacement textures for Flight Simulator, makes the FS landscape really come to life.... His rendition of the European Alps look true-to-life and his USA fall landscape, with the vibrating colors of the Indian Summer, really adds tremendous value to VFR flying

• By Jaap van Hees -  Kortenhoef - The Netherlands
  (Maker of the popular 'VFR Guide Series' )
  A little while ago I became the proud owner of FScene US & Canada, all 4 seasons, made by Ruud Faber. These products add more 'reality' to flying VFR or overflying the landscape at higher altitudes. It gives the ground-textures a wider variation in colours like in the 'real world', instead of the two- or three-colour usage of the default FS ground-textures. You can distinguish between everything much better. Clearly recognisable is the 'country-side' with it's hedges, treelines, meadows, corn- and other fields, farms, villages etc. etc. There are also shadows added which creates a good 3D-effect. And in urban areas things are easy distinguishable too: from about 3000 ft altitude for instance busy shopping-quarters with lots of traffic are clearly visible, so are parkinglots etc. I have a lot of aerial photo's of the area I like to fly VFR a lot (NW Washington State) and FScene's resemblance with these real-world photo's is staggering! Ruud's advice: clouds scattered cumulus, visibility of about 50-80 miles, altitude of 4000-5000 ft gives the best effects. Well, this may be true, but as a bushflyer I would like to add something else: flying in mountainous terrain along mountainslopes and through valleys looks much better too! The mountains and valleys are much more beautiful. Lots is there to see, even little mountain-roads and –paths are clearly visible! FScene has only one "disadvantage": you pay more attention to the world below around you than to the approach and landing of the various airports. This could lead to serious problems. So, don't say I did not warn you! - Jaap

• By Kristofer Kristensen - Linkoeping - Sweden
  When I first made acquaintance with the FScene product line I was sceptical, mostly because of the price. Now I own three copies of summer textures including this one, Africa. It's definetly worth the money. These textures look gorgeous and unlike before I now believe FScene is well worth the money, because unlike a specific scenery such as an airport or a smaller region, these products enhance and give you enjoyment over very, very vast areas. Try flying over South Africa with FScene Africa Summer Texture and FSGenesis Africa Mesh and you will see Flight Simulator at its very best.

• By Rafael Bessa - Ceará, Brazil
  FScene is a must have scenery add-on ! My Flight simulator is now more closer to the reality... I won the FScene South America Summer Textures in Vflight.com screenshot contest. but, now, i'm really thinking about in buying the hole South America Packpage ! Keep the good work ruud ! Cheers, Rafael

• By Tom Gazowski - Pennsylvania USA
  My textures are working fine now. I guess I messed up the installation somehow when installing. Summer went on fine but I messed up the rest. Yes, you may quote me as saying I am very happy with the textures over the default textures. The colors are much more vibrant an realistic, and I can see a much better realism in forest and farmland areas. I never realized how much I enjoyed them until I switched seasons and didn't have them. What a difference when I finally solved my problem and got them back! Now I am back up and things are working fine. I plan on getting Europe soon. Keep up the good work. Regards, Tom

• By Lars Peter Hammer - Copenhagen Denmark
  This must be one of the best upgrades you could buy - it looked good even on my old Geforce 4 4200 card.... and you don't even suffer framerate problems. I would recommend people with Flight1's FSWater, FSGenesis Mesh and your textures to fly over the channel from Holland to the UK at dusk - it's unbelievable!! I've tried some of the Photo sceneries on the market that utilizes satellite photos, but have binned them as they don't come near your textures. The only "problem" I have with the textures is that I sometimes forget to fly as I find my self gazing at the scenery. ;o)
  Thanks again for your outstanding job, Lars

• By Sascha Rieger - art director by profession.
  I have just purchased FScene2004 EU-Summer and am VERY happy with it. This is rare for me as I am really picky regarding the quality of FS Addons (and graphic work in general as I am an art director by profession). Your work makes FS9 so much more realistic! I will definitely get additional sets to upgrade the flight simming experience even further, buying new textures as the seasons arrive! I am also particularly looking forward to the Asia Texture Set! Best regards, Sascha

• By Gerard Salden - Member of Team Wideview and betatester for Lago
  With his new FScene 2004 series , Ruud Faber has done it again. The realism that is added is overwelming. Flightsimulator looks like a total different simulator. As a Wideview flyer with 6 outside view monitors people ask me where I got the photorealistic scenery from. I often use my 747-400 for VFR flying, just to look at the landscape and I can do so for hours ! All continents and all sesons are incredible.This is the closest experience to real flying. - Gerard

• By Vaughan Howard - Erie, CO 80516 United States
  I first purchased FScene2004 USA & Canada Summer about a year ago. The product is amazing. If you want to add extra realism to your Flight Sim experience, FScene is sure to leave you in awe of what you are seeing. Developer Rudd Faber has done a spectacular job in making the ground textures unbelievably realistic. Looking at the ground with FScene is the closest thing yet I have seen to what you would see if you look out the window of a real in-flight aircraft. I was so impressed with Rudd's product that I have since installed FScene USA & Canada Fall, Winter and Spring. Just today I installed FScene Europe Summer so that I can now begin to enjoy the sights that Rudd has created while flying over Europe. These products are definitely TOP NOTCH! - Vaughan

• By Jennifer Conner & Carl Selbo - CEO, Virgin Virtual Airlines
  The true test of a Flight Simulator add-on is this: If you had to do without, which is the one add-on you'd keep? That's easy - FScene. The difference is striking - familiar with the default textures, FScene2004 was like stepping into another world. A real world. The dull, repetitive default textures are replaced by a realistic, varied and more colorful terrain. As each new season is released, we eagerly snap it up and install it - it's quite simply the most valued set of addons we own! - Jennifer
  Added after release of Patch for rivers:
  Wow! The new rivers and streams patch is amazing! That is so much more realistic! Thank you. - Jennifer

• By Marcel Widi - Linz/Austria
  Review in one word: speechless ... OK, now in more detail: When I first saw the quite high price for a few replacement textures I thought there must be an error ... but then I thought if the thing is worth its money, it has to be the add-on of the year ... I tried out Europe and ... I was right! I have combined Ruud Faber's textures with Justin Tyme's (FSGenesis) mesh terrain and what I got was the next best thing to Flight Simulator 2006 (!) The textures are a quantum leap indeed - most of all I like the woods - finally it looks like there really are trees - in fact the effect is so good that I have turned off the auto-gen completely which has the nice side-effect of an increase in framerate!
  so much for the pros ... cons: flight-sim addiction might be a side-effect ... so long, Marcel

• By Patrick Jorand - Geneva - Switzerland
  Good Morning Ruud, Firstly let me congratulate you for your work. Being a FS fan for years, I bought a week ago your FS Europe 4 seasonal texture and the result is amazing, more specially the sense of deepness that it gives, even over flat areas. Flying most of the time from Geneva (LSGG), the panorama over the alps is just superb and so realistic in term of colours, deepness. (I am using your textures with Lago Terramesh Europe 2004). Of course you may use my comments, I would be rather happy to be a supporter for such a good work.
  Cheers, Patrick

• By Jan Alexandersen - Tromso - Norway
  Dear Ruud Faber, Thanks a lot for your very quick reply! All problems are no sorted out, and I am very pleased with your great work! I see that I very soon need the new Europe Spring in my collection! Your great texture really improves the realisme and fun of using FS. Please keep up the good work! I also want you to know that the textures work fine with Lago's Scandinavian Mesh already installed on my machine. All the best from Tromso - top of Norway (and almost the world!) Jan Alexandersen

• By AVSIM.com - USA introducing FScene2004-USA&Canada Winter Season
  Ruud Faber from microstores.eu has just released his next project, FScene 2004 USA and Canada Winter textures. Without a doubt, these are the best set of replacement winter textures available and adds to the realism substantially. Check out all the screenshots and make your purchase today by clicking here.

• By Flightsim.com - USA introducing FScene2004 Europe+USA&Canada Winter Season
  Flightsimmers always seem to get excited about new textures, and with good reason since a nice texture set significantly enhanced the entire look of flightsim scenery. Designer Ruud Faber is well known for his location and season specific textures and in this review Terblanche Jordaan tries his fall textures for the USA and those for Europe, flying in Carenado's Cessna 210. Learn all about it by reading the complete review here.

• From David H. Bailey  -Nashua (NH) - USA
  Ruud, As always, you have done a masterful job with the new FScene2004-Europe-Winter files! I am constantly amazed at what a wonderful, realistic (except for the many-hundred-thousand-dollar cost) flying experience your files in combination with FSGenesis wonderful mesh files give me in FS2004! Thanks for the hard work -- I can't wait for the spring seasons! David

• From Allen  - Simflight.com
  Product: FScene2004
  Anyone who has the slightest familiarity with the flight sim world knows of Ruud Faber and his absolutely outstanding replacement textures released under the FScene name.
  As one who uses ALL of his great work, I'm particularly excited to report that Ruud has announced three new projects for 2004: FScene 2004- Australia and New Zealand summer textures to be released this month, FScene 2004- Africa, and FScene 2004- South America.
  These replacement textures are the best around and if you've not used them or seen them, then shame on you.
  Allen
  

• From Michael Burley  - Ingolstadt, Germany
  Product: FScene2004 - USA & Canada- Fall.
  You will get so much more enjoyment out of flying almost everywhere in the world too. The biggest improvement in these textures are the forests in lovely autumn colours that find their way into scenery in Australia and other locations around the world.
  This product produces such an improvement over the default textures it cannot even be compared with them!.
  I have the other textures too, but I highly recommend FScene2004. My Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
  Michael
  

• From Tom Constantine  - (MaineScenery.com/links.html)
  Simply the best ground textures available. Reasonably priced and sure to improve the look and feel of any scenery. We use it, we recommend it. You'll see it in the screen shots.
  Tom

• From Sergio  - Italy 
  Hello, and I am glad I bought FScene2004, Autumn scenery for Europe. As it did for FS2002, it adds great pleasure to the simulation. I can see that the frame rates are good, even better than with the original MSFS textures.
  Thank you, and I can't wait to buy the winter edition (hope it will be ready before snow fall :) Sergio Cigliuti.

• From Gérald Boonen  - Canada 
  Good news! Everything works now OK! ; Your FScene2004 scenes are splendid! congratulations!
  I don't understand why I had some troubles, but it's fantastic! Your FScene2004 scenes are splendid! congratulations!
  Gérald Boonen

• From David H. Bailey  -Nashua (NH) - USA
  Ruud, I have tested the FScene2004 USA&Canada Fall files some, and everywhere I put my plane, (so far all around New Hampshire, where I live and am most familiar with how the terrain looks in every season, plus a few distant locales such as the Grand Canyon and northern California). It looks fantastic! I see what you mean about integrating better with the autogen scenery -- where there are autogen buildings, everywhere I've looked your scenery shows cleared patches of land, appropriate to the buildings. I can't begin to imagine the many hours you have spent getting this stuff just right!
  Fantastic job! David
  

• From Matthieu Laporte  - Netherlands 
  hi there, I bought the FScene2004 summer textures and I must say It is a great product. I was sceptical in the past but that is gone completly. Now I'am waiting for the fall textures. Can You tell me when I can download the fall Europe?
  I saw on your site in a few day's but when???? [and After my reply:] Thanks, now I can sleep well till Friday. Friendly Matthieu

• From Daniel Hill  - (VATSIM ATL_ARTCC, AvA pilot AAL515)  - USA 
  Thanks for your quick reply and THANK YOU for a great product! .
  With a PIII-550 MHz I have to be choosy about what add-ons I purchase (no mesh scenery for me) and your product is just the ticket!

• From Michael Burley  - - Australia
  Just wanted to say your FScene2004 summer USA&Canada textures are really great.
  Whatever you did with the forest it looks far more realistic than any other textures I have seen anywhere.
  I have also bought some Lago Georender locations which although they are photorealistic are not as pleasant to fly around as your textures combined with FSgenesis mesh. Keep up the excellent work. Michael.

• From Jere Miller  Baltimore Maryland - USA 
  I thank you sincerely for being so prompt in replying. Your work is amazing and has very much added to this hobby of sim flight. It's getting to be so real that soon we will have to drop the word "sim".
  You have my respect and admiration. Jere Miller

• From Dave Francis bsp;Westminster Colorado - USA 
  Even my wife, who does not sim, said "Oh my god, that looks amazing" when she saw the difference the other three seasons made to my simming experience.
  Thank you for your time and dedication. Dave

• From David H. Bailey  -Nashua (NH) - USA
  I just wanted you to know that, true to my word, I just purchased FScene2004-Europe Summer and Fall as well as the USA&Canada Summer file, and they look as great on my computer as they do on your web-site!
  I'm eager for the all the rest of the files now! :-) I know you're working on the USA/Canada Fall files.
  Any estimate on when the winter files will be ready for both Europe and USA/Canada?
  Thanks again for the great work and for making the FS2004 flying experience even better.
  Nobody should use Flight Simulator without FScene! David
  

• From J Scott Edmunds  - Troy Michican - USA 
  Kudos to you for the terrific textures you have developed for both Europe and US & Canada. I just took my first VFR flight with your new Fall textures and they are magnificent. Your work is truly a "work of art" and adds a tremendous amount of reality and pleasure to my Flight Sim flying. Thanks for providing us with such wonderful add-ons to MS Flight Simulator. All the best, J Scott Edmunds Troy, Michigan USA

• From Dennis Hockham - Sydney - Australia 
  As for the USA &Canada scenery. It really is the best i've seen.
  I have seen some mesh and it is quite good, but this one goes right to the top of the list.
  I don't think anyone really expects to look down and see the house that you live in. I spent a lot of time yesterday looking down at scenery, in this USA I am forever looking around a full 360 degree's. You never give up wondering just what you are going to see coming along within the next few miles. I think it's going to be habit forming.
  My best regards Dennis.

• From Dimitri Makrillos - Sydney - Australia 
  Excellent! I would like to commend you on the quality of your FScene-USA&Canada scenery textures.
  Having bought both summer & winter scenery, I must say I was impressed.
  It makes the whole flight sim experience more enjoyable.
  I will be eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Australia textures.
  Keep up the good work! Regards, Dimitri

• From Patrick Barralon - Montluel - France 
  I do a lot of IFR flying, I'm really amazed seeing the excellent work that you have done on your FScene2002 for
  Europe, USA&Canada summer - fall. The textures are so realistic
  that I enjoy taking a look at the ground from the sky while take-offs, flying and landings. Keep up the good work Ruud and thanks.

• From Bud Baker - Enfield Alabama - USA 
  I have loaded your USA&Canada Summer and Fall FScene2002. Very nice work! What nice eye candy! It makes my VFR flights for the DC-3 VA much more enjoyable. It's a great add-on. Bud Baker

• From Paul Astley - Hounslow UK
   WOW!!!   FScene is fantastic! Team it up with the UK mesh and LandClass and it's like flying a different sim. The preview pictures I have seen of FScene2002 do not do it true justice. This is an essential purchase for anyone who loves VFR flight. Absolutely incredible Ruud. Why Microsft don't hire you on the spot I will never understand. Many thanks for a wonderful product. Very best wishes, Paul

• From Michael Burley  - Ingolstadt, Germany
  I want to congratulate you on how good your new American textures are.
  I ended up turning the autogen off completely whereas before it was on maximum.
  After a couple of hours I loaded the original textures and realised how inferior the original summer textures were. Thankyou for a job well done. The autogen scenery appears to have masked the fact that previously the textures were only very clear near the plane. They are clear now only close to the plane and get crisper as I move towards them. I have a 2GHz machine with Gforce 4. Up till now I have had everyhting maxed out except the frame rate held at 18 fps.
  I wish you every success as you work on the other seasons for US.

• From Sergio  - Italy 
  Hello, I just wanted to say that the FScene2002 "Feel Europe" provided me with endless hours of total enjoyment. It is a really well made product. When airplanes were invented, I don't think that anyone could imagine how fast and powerful aircrafts could become. I am sure that the main reason that brought mankind to research the experience of flying was first and foremost the heavenly desire to see the world from above. That is for me, at least, the first and foremost reason that drives my passion for flight simulation..
  I invite you to continue your wonderful work, and I wish you great success. Your success will be the pleasure of many flight simmers who love the World from above. Thank you. Sergio Cigliuti.

• From Wolfgang Klein - Altena - Germany 
  FScene-USA&Canada...A very good Product, and amazingly detailed too.
  In this Way it is quite a Pleasure to fly the beautiful Lanscapes of the USA.
  It increases the Possibilities of the Game enormously!!
  I can recommend this Add-On in all conscience!!!
  FScene-USA&Canada...Ein sehr gutes Produkt mit verblüffender Detailtreue.
  So macht es Spaß, über die wunderschönen Landschaften der USA zu fliegen...
  Dies steigert das Spielvermögen um ein Vielfaches!!
  Ich kann dieses Add-On mit bestem Gewissen weiterempfehlen!!!

• From Malcolm Gladstone - New South Wales  Australia
  Malcolm kindly gave some details about his country:
  Australia is a predominantly "red" country in the centre, with green round the coastlines. Did you know also it has more snow than Switzerland? (Just in a small area, of course - it is a BIG country!)
  I now have had your textures installed for over a month. I just wanted to write and say how much difference they have made to the enjoyment of FS2002 - my memory to thank you was jogged by an article in Flightsim.Com by Andrew Herd. I am currently investigating FSLand Class for Australia, and hope to have a more realistic view of my adopted country soon.
  I have encouraged as many "simmers" as I know to purchase your textures - they do make a real difference!
  Kind regards from a very hot Autumn in Australia.

• From Brec Nelson  - Vancouver W.A.  - Canada 
  A big THANKS for your work and the release of USA summer. Looking forward to the rest over the next few months. Along with some mesh programm, I can't imagine things getting much better within present constraints of MSFS and PC power.
  If I had one thing on a wish list - - - wished DISNEYLAND were depicted in Orange County, CA. and a better depiction of DISNEYWORLD. Someday perhaps ?? (grins)

• From Bob Leaumont - Midland USA 
  Loaded the FScene textures. No problem. I thought it might be two different ways to load the textures, but wasn't sure, so I had to ask. I had previously loaded some mesh scenery for Austria, Germany, Slovenia and Switzerland and then your Fscene2002 textures.
  Well all I can say is the combination scenery is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My first flight was from Maribor, Slovenia to Klagenfurt, Austria at a cruising altitude of 8000 ft. WOW.................it was awesome., I mean really awesome.......and I got 9-13 fps with my measly 333 mhz processor. I think my 312 mb of RAM helped some. I even turned off the Autogen, which gave me at least 4 more fps. Thanks for the great work.

• From Dennis Hockham 
  i am still completely amazed at the work that has been put into your scenery.. i'm forever pressing the W key on keyboard and looking around at surrounding scenery. I also find that i am using a cessna much more so that i can do a lot of ground hopping, great fun. i am so certain that so many people do not even know what mesh scenery, they don't know what they are missing. farewell for now good friend, hope to hear from you soon best wishes dennis.

• From Peter Harrison - Fordingbridge UK 
  More Real Than It Gets
  There are times when Microsoft FS 2002 seems less like a finished painting, and more like a primed canvas waiting for the artists' touch. From replacing complete airports airports to airplane dynamics; from the weather to the shapes of mountains, it seems that in all aspects of FS the artists are there, working their magic on Microsoft's base. Let's improve Europe! Start with a brush-stroke of FSMeteo to improve the weather. Add some nice mesh scenery from Raimondo Taburet to improve the landscape shapes, and then use FS LandClass mapping to make each square kilometer have its correct land usage. Finally to make it 'More Real Than It Gets', use Ruud Faber's excellent replacement textures to replace the boring 'standard' ones with ever-changing landscapes of small fields, hedges, and lanes. You will have spent more dollars (or Euros)than the original FS 2002 cost you, but now who needs to fly?
  You could almost spend a lifetime walking around this landscape, so fascinating and detailed is the result. Just a word of caution. The land class mapping used by FS LandClass appears to use many more combinations of textures than Microsoft's original, so that some city and suberban areas will have that 'rectangular grid' appearance typical of many American cities, but almost unknown in Europe. It's impertinent to ask, but please, Ruud, could we have some more textures? To Ruud and all the other artists and wizards: Thanks. - Peter Harrison

• From Keith Sandford - Portsmouth UK  
  Yes your scenery does render in 3D (page flipped) when using Nvidia's stereo drivers. Other add on scenery such as airports does not for some reason. I have also added fs land class great britain country pack as well, and it works very well. 3D objects such as buildings are in the right place, such as towns and cities and no longer spoils your scenery which has a 3D effect anyway.
  Can I just say what an excellent job you have done. I spend alot of time flying helicopters in fs2002 and I have always wanted scenery that actually resembled the UK, such as hedgerows, isolated farm-houses and proper coloured fields. Keep up the good work What a difference, money well spent. Thanks Mr Faber. Keith Sandford

• From Jim Bartosh -  Los Angeles, California USA 
  I used these previous version of these textures in FS2000 and loved them. They looked superb - detailed and very "3D". I have missed them ever since I switched to FS2002.However, I am a US, and generally fly in US and Canada. Have you considered releasing a version that includes the USA/North America for FS2002 ?
  I find your textures are ver good for much of USA - - your farmland / fields looks better than default microsoft - your "European" type textures are very similar to farmland along USA East Coast (New England) - farmland fields in central USA from Ohio to Colorado ( "the plains of the midwest" ) is composed of very large rectangular blocks and often circles from circular water spray irrigation. (see attachement - is from San Joachin Valley California) - your mountain textures are superb and work very well, even in USA - your old textures make Rocky Mountains very realistic - a challange for USA will be desert areas of Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, California - these have 'desert' hills and mountains as well

• From Nick Cerase - Melbourne Australia
  FScene02 is the most realistic scenery I have seen for Flight Sims. Detail is incredible - The farms, lanes, hedges and fields look like photographs! The 3d (?) effect gives the scenery depth and texture. Really impressive. I hope one day to see more than Europe! One very very minor problem - there seems to be repeated textures that create an unrealistic pattern in a few places. Really doesn't matter though! Finally, one observation - I live in Melbourne, Australia - and I love to fly around Australia. Some of the FScene02 textures appear in Australia! Mostly the town and city textures. Great! But why do these textures appear in some places and not others, I wonder?? Since I purchased FScene02, I spent most time flying in Europe. The scenery is just so real. Great work. Worth every cent! You can put my comments on your web page, and my email if you wish. All the best and keep up the good work! Flight sim fans like me appreciate your efforts a lot! Nick

• From Chris Stumbles - Hayle UK
  I found FScene.02 a great addition to FS2002. I do most of my 'flying' in the UK and it offers a refreshingly vast improvement over the standard MS scenery. Great work , great value for money and I will certainly add FSscene for the US when it is available. Best regards, Chris.

• From Rob Mays - Mesa USA
  Thanks for creating your terrific textures. I've been flying around the Alps with them installed and they look GREAT! The farmland is wonderful. I especially like the look of the mountain foothills. It is so much more realistic than the default! The city textures are better as well.
  Frankly, I was a little skeptical about spending the money for your textures, but I'm glad I did. They are worth every penny!
  Thanks for your fine work! I'm glad I found your product. In fact, I have been using dense autogen with FS2002. After installing your product, I turned the autogen off, and I think it actually looks better! Plus, dropping autogen gave me a nice boost with frame rates! Rob Mays.

• From Steve Alexander - Godalming UK
  Having used your replacement textures for a while now I have to say I'm very pleased with them; I was quite hacked off with the blanketing of tiny fields MS had given the UK but your textures give the view a very lifelike look. I have to say, from 5000 feet they also give an incredibly good '3d' feel as well - hedges, treelines and so forth really stand out - fantastic !
  All in all, definitely worth the asking price. I shall periodically check in with your new website - great support ! Cheers, Paul Astley

• From Ted Holmes  - Fairfield West - Australia 
  Hi Ruud, I would be very pleased if you started a project
  FScene-Australia&Nw-Zealand, seeing as I am Australian anyway, and no one has done anything to my knowledge about improving the Australian scenery in FS2K2. ,- I would definetly purchase it !!!
  I think your present Europe and USA scenery, which I have, is excellent ,
  and a huge improvement on the default MS scenery !!
  Best regards Ted Holmes

• From Michael Burley  - Ingolstadt, Germany
  (Michael uses both Europe and USA-Canada of FScene.)
  I know you are working hard on more textures Just a word of encouragement to keep up the good work I just had a friend who noticed how much better your files are than the default.
  Regards Michael
