While the Aerosoft/FSDG scenery is comprehensive, the community has added some excellent optional extras.
This paper compares legacy and modern flight-simulation platforms—Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D (P3D)—and evaluates the Aerosoft/FlightSim Development Group (FSDG) scenery add-on "Réunion Island (FMEE)". It examines platform capabilities, compatibility, performance, graphical fidelity, simulation accuracy, and user experience, and provides recommendations for users and developers.

Reunion Island features some of the most dramatic topography on Earth. It combines active volcanoes, dense tropical rainforests, and sharp coastal cliffs. The complex terrain makes for excellent VFR navigation
Some versions ask for a serial key during install. Enter it exactly as shown.
This is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth. Using the Aerosoft product, you can fly directly into the crater. Using FSDG , the textures are good enough to support a helicopter tour.
The scenery utilizes P3D’s advanced features, including native ground polygons, dynamic lighting options, and enhanced shadow maps for modern versions.
