Enhance your FSX graphics with TileProxy.
Attached are two comparisons I did taking screenshots over the Grand Canyon:

More about TileProxy see: http://www.edtruthan.com/tileproxy/tutorial/

Remarks:
1. Best terrain resolution (and 3d illusion) you'll get flying above 4,000f.
2. Be aware that AutoGan is disabled when using TileProxy.

Good Luck

Search for Tile Proxy on You Tube, you'll get some great examples.

I used it for about a year, really liked it but there are limitations to it.

1. If you don't have a quad core fsx frame rates will suffer.
2. Long load times before fsx starts as the scenery is downloaded before you can start a flight.
3. With my internet connection of 3.5Mb I'd outrun the scenery in a jet, with a cessena it was fantastic.
4. Coverage varies greatly, I found flying around parts of the alps almost real, other parts of the world not so great, some dire!
5. If an image fails to download you get a big black square mapped onto the scenery.
6. Can be quite technical to set up and tune.


Having said all that I found the experience well worth it but, got frustrated with it eventually and took it off.

Thanks dave for your comments.

I have double core with 5 M/s internet speed and getting good performance in flight speed of 250kts.
Time to load ~5m.
To plan a flight in a terrain of good resolution you can go to Yahoo map or MSN map and search the Globe.
comparison between this two map providers you can do at:
