My biggest beef is (as noted by another poster) the poor modeling of
required pedal input, but in most other aspects it feels more or less
correct, at least given that I'm looking at a 17.5" monitor with no
peripheral cues.

Is this pedal issue a model problem, or a control sensitivity one?

I find if I use the virtual cockpit and expand the view to 0.5 zoom I get a
much wider view that increases the peripheral awareness.

2. I bought MegaScenery Northern California recently (at the Avsim
conference in Denver). It looks good "at altitude" (say, 5000 feet) but
it falls apart at helicopter altitudes. I am not aware of any add-on
that improves the visuals adequately for the helicopter pilot.

I bought FS Terrain by JustFlight. The terrain mesh is improved a great deal
over the standard stuff. It really brings it to life, and scenery I know
well suddenly looks like it should. It doesn't do anything for the
placement of landmarks or auto-gen buildings, but I think it's a vast
improvement. It covers virtually all of Europe and the USA.
