The Victoria Falls of the Zambezi River, Zambia/Zimbabwe

File Description:
One of the main landmarks of Africa, the spectacular Victoria Falls of the Zambezi River are missing in out-of-the-box FS. With a local SRTM LOD9 mesh as a base (included) and the help of satellite imagery, maps, Ground2K4, and GMax, we did our best to model a realistic representation of the falls, the river, and the gorge, complete with custom waterfall and spray effects. The portion of the Zambezi covered in this project extends from E25 to E26.5 (more than 100km), with the falls at its center. Also included is a replacement landclass file for an area of about 20km on either side of the Zambezi River and an optional AI boat (by Lynn and Bill Lyons) cruising on the Zambezi above the falls. Tested with FS2004 only but most scenery enhancements (not the AI boat) should work just as well in FS2002.

BOAC - Southampton to Johannesburg by Short Solent - 1949

File Description:
On the 4th. May 1949 BOAC introduced Short Solent flying boats to Southampton-Johannesburg service. These new 'boats replaced the Hythe-class aircraft used since the War but they were destined to only serve for about a year before flying boats were withdrawn from the South African service completely. The route, which took four-and-a-half days to complete, was Southampton - Augusta (Sicily) - Cairo - Luxor - Khartoum - Port Bell (on the northern extremity of Lake Victoria, in Uganda) - Victoria Falls and then Vaaldam (or "Vaal Dam"), a large lake approx. 40 miles south of Johannesburg. Readme included. (One additional file is required - vicfalls.zip, by Holger Sandmann - available right here on Avsim.com.)
