Dear VERO member,

a quick email to let you know that…

1. We have found a few bugs in the first release (SF_Bay CA01) and so we have rebuilt the whole scenery. It is available for free download at our shop: http://vero-fs.com/shop/ Register for an account with your simmarket email address and we will activate your account within 24hours so you can get the upgrade for free. 
2. We have ran into some problems in the configuration of all our optimization and GIS software on the new WIndows 7 PC we have recently bought. The new PC boosts the production of approx. 4-5 times. Compatibility issues have been fixed and so we have started the production of the new CA-02 release that will cover the east part of SF-BAY then we will move north and south. 
3. All these issues have been taken care of while I (Gabriele) was moving to a new home which made all this a lot harder and more time consuming.
4. We are hiring for autogen production and for Airports and 3D environment design. 

I take the chance to thank you all again for the nice words about our product, for helping other customers through our official support forum http://www.vero-fs.com/forums/ and, last but not least, those who are helping promoting VERO making and posting videos and screenshots in the Internet.

Best regards,

Gabriele, Bas and Dan

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.
