What's the best SFO scenery, freeware or payware? I fly there a lot and would not mind a little more eyecandy. Keep in mind my most important criteria (besides being pretty) is no frame rate pain. Cheers!

I'm using the Flightbeam KSFO and seems good on fps, but I have a pretty powerful system. I added the Aerosoft San Franx and it brought my system to its knees so I disabled it--I'd rather have the airport than the city, which is ok default anyway. Not sure how sanfranx would be by itself as I didn't try that.

Flightbeam SFO is the best out there.

There is also FlyTampa's SFO. A little outdated.
