Click here to buy VERO – SAN FRANCISCO BAY – CALIFORNIA-01 at our shop!
Welcome to our first scenery package. San Francisco Bay area is not to be considered a final product. It is, instead, the first piece of a long series that will cover the entire state of California and the entire territory of the United States of America.
We are selling this area at 9.95 Euros and we hope the price will be lowered to 5 Euros as it means we are selling many. We want you all to enjoy the realism that only photo-realistic scenries can give you.
VERO means the best (optimized imagery) and the most complete (seasons, night and hard winter) photo-realistic ground textures.
The state of California is 440,000 sq.km which means it is 12 times the area of this first release. This would make California state cost 100+ Euros. We want you to be able to buy the whole state for 50 Euros but to do this, we need to sell a few hundred units for all the areas. So, to be even more clear… if you like the product, spread the word and heck, the price will go down in the future for this SF Bay area and for the upcoming ones! It's all matter of numbers folks.
If we sell many, you will be able to buy more states at an incredibly even lower price.
We want photorealistic sceneries to be at everyone's reach as we believe it must be a standard in Flight Simulation.

San Francisco Bay - User Manual -
Once I was able to set the Vero files up in the FSX Addons, I was very pleased with the Senery @ 2,000+ feet AGL….. that’s about 1,000 feet better than other Photo-Real sceneries out there. A big thumbs UP for a great JOB! Looking forward to purchasing future Senery…. Bob Vertalics Sr:)
I’m quite interested in ordering the San Francisco Bay textures as I live just outside of San Francisco International and often fly out of Half Moon Bay. The resolution seems incredible and I appreciate you working hard to keep it affordable!
I was wondering if you could publish a map showing the coverage area of each of your releases as they become available? It would really help to identify the releases that I would use most. In the mean time, could you put a map on your web site to show the area that this release covers?
Keep up the great work! I’m looking forward to ordering and downloading the San Francisco area textures soon!
Thanks Bob and Ronald. Map added!
Great scenery guys! Could you point me to the autogen you guys are posting each Friday?
May I suggest some autogen work for the Palo Alto (PAO)/Stanford/Mountain View area for those of us around Silicon Valley?
Thanks!
Dan
