Blue Sky Scenery is (was) my preferred type of photoreal scenery for many reasons:
Some places are much more beautiful when viewed from above, like desert states like NM, Nevada, Utah, since at ground level you miss the weird colors, the hidden valleys and salt lakes, various native or private reserves, not to mention missile ranges and airbases, places you can't go in real life anyway.
And visiting the US from Canada these days is, well, a disturbing option, so I use FSX and Blue Sky Scenery to get there anyway, because it's such a diverse and fabulous country.
But now Blue Sky Scenery is offline for real. Gottfried Razek officially closed its website a few years ago, but most of his MediaFire download links were still working last time I checked back in October 2025, and download was real fast. Today sadly his links are all dead. Some website like Rikooo and maybe Avsim have copies of some of his sceneries, but not all (way too big). My Blue Sky folder is 133GB! And I only had some Western states.
You could try Las Vegas and parts of Nevada at Rikooo (5GB might be a sloooow download without a registration):
