Here is an image taken of the Learjet from business division this afternoon. Unfortunately real life got in the way of me completing the flight and filing but here is anyway.

Just to the right of the nose of the aircraft is the town of Eastbourne. Those who know the area will recognise the pier jutting out into the sea. Almost below the right wing of the aircraft is the flood plain of the river Cuckmere - Cuckmere Haven.
Just to the right is the town of Seaford and it was this VOR that was guiding the flight.
Immediately ahead is Beachy Head.
Enjoy! VFR scenery rocks!

Add-on ... the VFR scenery for the South and South East of England. For those who have already spotted the deliberate mistake, Eastbourne is to the left of the plane, not the right.

Have you ever tried looking for your house with that scenery?  I read somewhere that you can find specific buildings in some areas.

You can identify individual road and buildings and the best part of it is that no one building is more defined than any other. This image was taken at about 18 thousand feet. As you would guess, identifying individual buildings is easier in a slower aircraft and at about 4-5 thouand feet.
Also, as I haven't received a copy of my serial number from Lago yet, despite asking twice, my terramesh scenery isn't yet installed on 2K4 and this makes a real difference.
