Interesting enhancements for Microsoft Flight Simulator X:
- FSX European Ground Textures Package by Adam Mills
Intended to solve three common complaints with European textures: the "desert" problem, winter textures and autumn textures. These modified textures reduce or eliminate the barren brown color of the default textures and improved the drab washed out fall and winter colors too.
Part 1-8 at Simviation - FSX Textures reworked by Aimé Leclercq
Excellent freeware textures from Aimé Leclercq for FSX. Seasonal ground textures and road, rail and river textures. Textures cover the entire world and are more dark with a little more sharpness.

brilliant new FSX tweaks to improove frame performance
(also relevant to get better result for the openVFR POI Addons) - Mogwaisoft - Shade for FSX
http://www.flightsimstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=1894
Shade is a small program that allows you to setup custom colours/tones schemes for FSX's 3d/Terrain lighting/shadow & Fog values this allows you to alter the contrast between light and shadow tones within FSX allowing for creation of more realistic lighting conditions with much better definition/contrast.
These projects are also using Openstreetmap data in their sceneries:
- Xplane – OSM scenery (X-VFR)
