You can get the 4th one for £8 from Justflight by registering for their reward scheme which gives you £5 off your first purchase.

Ok, VFR terrain is a mesh. It is the best possible mesh you can get for England and Wales. Mesh defines the actual hills and valleys, nothing else. MSFS does not support higher detail than it VFR terrain provides. You can also buy it in four parts. VFR Terrain on it's own is all four parts together.

The VFTR photo scenery is only available in parts 1-4. You have to buy them separately. It overlays photo-realistic pictures taken at 5000 feet onto the mesh surface of the terrain.

Yes, they do work together. In fact they are designed to work together and look fabulous to boot.

The Euro one you've got does a much better job of Europe's mesh than the MS default but not as good as VFR Terrain does for the UK.

I have FS Global SE which does the whole world mesh at much better detail than MS default but not as good as VFR Terrain.

Once again, if you fly England and Wales you simply must get VFR Terrain and the photo sceneries. There is nothing worse than flying a route that reverts back to MS default.

I flew Concorde from Paris to JFJK last night after forgetting to activate FS Global again after an MSFS reinstall.

It was truly awful and you'd think there were no mountains anywhere.
Thanks for that

Where can I get VFR Terrain from and the 4 photo packs? Everywhere seems sold out Tried game.uk.com, play.com, gameplay.com, amazon.co.uk. Where else? direct links?
