On Top V8.0
Cheers QSK? Had a look at the website and it looks educational enough for me. I'll go hunting for it.
Would you know if they do yearly upgrades to cope with changes ?

Re:Global Scenery for Xplane
Global scenery came out with v6.51.
Its pretty good, except you will find that some aerodromes (eg Perth Intl) are in a 'basin'
There is some smoothing of elevations, usually a little higher.
Then when the aerodrome is dropped in the middle of it the (lower) elevation is applied to the terrain inside the boundary fence.
Thats when you have some fun flying the Perth 24ILS, being on slope but the wheels touch the ground on some terrain at the Outer Marker!!
Its a pain but you can adjust EACH SQUARE of terrain, one by one.

On Top Version 8.0
Have used ASA's IFR Proficiency Simulator "On Top" for some years. No fancy scenery but does the job well.
They have a demo for download.

OnTop V8.0 has been approved by CASA under FSD2 as a Class B synthetic trainer. Aircraft include singles, B58, B1900, has ADF/VOR/ILS/LLZ/GPS and much more cost effective than ELITE.
If you have a dual head video card (the type of card that allows you to drive two monitors side by side), the instructor console is built into the program at no extra cost allowing for monitoring, changing Wx, repositioning, snapshots, printing, also aircraft system and instrument failures.
