This shows the predefined flights before the scenery package is installed.

These are the predefined flights after the scenery package is installed. The scenery is intended for Flight Sim 5.0 but is shown here being used in Flight Sim 98

A screen shot from the DC Wake-up flight which flies over the White House

The DC-Lear runway approach has the pilot flying up the Potomac river, over the Woodrow Wilson bridge to land at National Airport. The red boxes are the pilots guide

The DC-Mall area flight has the pilot flying over the Capitol building towards the Potomac. This is the cockpit view

DC Mall area flight goes over the Capitol building

The final predefined flight is a night flight over Washington though it looks a lot more like dusk than night in this cockpit approach view

The final predefined flight is a night flight over Washington. This is how the same flight looks using the default scenery

This is Washington from a great height. It's easy to tell where the new scenery starts

Here's Washington at midnight using the enhanced scenery

Washington at midnight with default scenery

Here's a Cessna on the tarmac at Washington International airport using the default scenery as viewed from the tower

Here's a Learjet on the tarmac at Washington International airport using the enhanced scenery as viewed from the tower

Just after take-off at Washington International airport. This is using the default scenery. Not how the airport ends suddenly and edges of the urban sprawl are sharply defined

Just after take-off at Washington International airport using the new scenery. The colours are much less vibrant and more realistic.

Still climbing after take-off at Washington and already the limits of the new scenery are apparent. By current (2012) standards the area covered is not that large

Reaching the edge of the area covered by the new scenery. The path of the river matches that of the default scenery which is good, it's just about ten times narrower

The Cessna taking off from Baltimore-Washington International airport using the default scenery. Again the boundaries between the various scenery types is quite marked

A Learjet on the tarmac at Baltimore-Washington International using the new scenery

Shortly after take-off from Baltimore and the new scenery looks quite blocky

It's when the plane gains height that Baltimore starts to look a whole load better

The plane is not too far from the airfield and the limited area covered by this scenery add-on is apparent. Great in its day though
