C80 airport: Northern or Southern CA?

[toadlife]

Hello all,

 

I'm thinking about buying the California sceneries and would like to start out with the one that has my town's airport (C80) in it. Coalinga is right in the middle and I'm not sure if it's in the Northern or Southern CA scenery.

assuming you're asking about True Earth for P3D or XP?

 

I think it's in NorCal - they used to have kmz files for Google Earth so you could see the exact region, but I just have them for the old FSX version ( it's in SoCal for the NA Gold scenery

 

You'd probably want to get both, regardless, since it's so close to the border of the sceneries - it'd be really noticeable that the coverage stops.

Yes, it's True earth for XP11. I'll probably getting both, but I'd rather buy one first and make sure my system can handle it and, I'd rather get the one with my airport first. The coverage border is right where Coalinga is.

 

Comparing the coverage map with Google maps, it looks like the border is right at Avenal/Kettleman City, which is just South of Coalinga.

 

Thanks.

Here's a screen of GE with the N Calif ands S Calif areas highlighted.  Coalinga is just north of the southern border of N Calif so I'd get both for the best experience.

Thank you both for the replies. I ended up buying the HD version of both Northern and Southern CA. I was concerned about performance as I use a gaming laptop (Dell G15 Ryzen Edition) and fly in VR, but the performance has been fine and the scenery is a fantastic upgrade to the default autogen.
