| Himalayas LOD9 Base Mesh, Volume 3 - Southwestern Ranges |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Detailed terrain mesh of the Southwestern Himalayan Ranges, N28-37 E78-82. The files in this package are based on Shuttle Radar (SRTM) Version 2 data but with many of the void areas, especially the most significant sections, filled with elevation data generated from topographic maps by Jonathan de Ferranti. While Jonathan's work is unrelated to flight simulation he kindly gave me permission to compile his data for use in FS. The result is a wonderful improvement in detail and accuracy over any existing mesh file, freeware or commercial, based on SRTM or DTED data alone.
Due to the large area of the Himalayas I've compiled the source data as two separate series: the "Himalayan Peaks" series covers prominent mountains and ranges in higher detail and locally overrides any existing LOD9 terrain mesh. In addition, the LOD9 "base mesh" series, with LOD8 and LOD7 "buffer" mesh files, covering the entire Himalayas, is meant for those who do not yet have an add-on terrain mesh of these beautiful mountains.

| LGAT Athens Hellinikon - Disused v3 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Version 3 of the scenery with refinements. This scenery includes the disused Athens, Greece, capital airport in its current status. Default FSX & P3D scenery do not include old LGAT airport at all and this why this scenery was created since the landsite still looks like this in that location. The airport closed in year 2002 after being replaced from Athens International Airport - Eleftherios Venizelos LGAV in March 2001. The northwest side of the airport was then used for Athens 2004 Olympics athletic installations and the southeast side remains disused. The scenery is a modification of Angelo Tassoglou (LGAT2B.ZIP) by permission of the author. It contains only basic stock MS objects without any custom items and therefore is very light in performance load. Angelo has moved the airport in the correct location where it should be (due to obsolete coordinates reference system used by MS). This, nowadays disused, airport is not meant to be used for flying in FS but only to have it visually correct when flying above. Version 3 removes some remaining ground taxiway lighting that was left in version 2.

| Microlights- Vol.2 |
|
File Description:
Three more low-polygon count models for AI use in F2004, all tail-draggers, one based on the AirBike, with two seats, the second based on the Weedhopper, the third based on the Affordaplane. I've only included one or two texture sets for each aircraft, but I have included basic repaint templates for the Airbike and the Weedhopper, so you can generate a multitude of brightly-coloured aircraft to your own taste in a few minutes.
Each model includes three LOD models and a reduced-detail shadow model, for improved visual performance, and to this end I have also included updated models for my previous "Microlights for AI" upload (required for the textures if you want these aircraft). Although the model file size will be bigger, because FS only loads the LOD model it requires for the given range of the aircraft, once the aircraft is more than a few hundred feet away from the viewpoint, it will affect the frame-rate less than the originals.
Please see the enclosed text file for further details.

| Essweiler Gliderfield, Germany Ver. 1.0 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Essweiler is actually a classic glider field, but also engine aircrafts up to 2t are approved.
The field is situated in the region Rheinland-Pfalz/Germany at a hillside eastly of the village Essweiler, approximately 7,5 nautical miles north of the well known US-Airbase Ramstein.
The environment of the airfield is adapted by land classes. Surrounding villages and major roads are initially implemented.
As well the field is covered by a photo background, which includes four different images , each for one of the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The buildings in this scenery should match quite good the originals. But also a lot of objects from three very popular freeware libraries are used.
If these libraries are not installed, many objects are not visible!
The following libraries are used:
1. FS-Piloten_Objektlibrary:
http://www.fs-piloten.de/thread.php?threadid=1063
2. FSX_FlightPortLib
http://www.flightport.de/libraries/flightport-library/

| Simple Instructions for Modifying Land Class |
|
File Description:
Simple Instructions for Modifying Land Class
Land classification, or land class (NOT "landclass"), is how Flight Simulator depicts the ground textures. For much of the FS world, the ground is not representative of the real thing, however. There have been complaints because of this from those who do not understand the cause of the problem.
This document explains the basic concepts behind the land class system, why it is inevitably inaccurate for most of the world, and the very easy-to-use tools with which to fix this.
Also includes instructions for modifying water class.
This is an html document for universal compatibility.
You do not have to be a computer programmer in order to change the land class. Anyone can do it quickly and easily.
So, why complain about it? Do something!
Very sorry - no support of any kind is offered for this document. Please consult the AvSim Scenery Design forum for any questions.

File Description:
Dear Friends simmer, using the great objects bgl by mr Gianluca Giovannini, I tried to fill with autogen trees / buildings , the urban area near the international airport of Palermo "Falcone Borsellino". With the current integration of scenery i have created the town of Cinisi, Villagrazia di Carini, Torre Muzza and part of the smalls village near Airport.
Warning Very Important: the scenery "is not complete" and to get the best result YOU MUST INSTALL the following files:
-mesh by Pietro mauri (or SIMILAR mesh OF Sicily) (available HERE);
-install the wonderfull scenery LICJ by Francesco Salsano (available HERE);
-the "Palermo Vfr" by Fulvio Mazzokan (available HERE).
Most information inside the read me file. I hope you like this for your eternal fs 2004 and for your flights in Sicily. Best regards from Italy, Fabio Ferrari Castione della Presolana (bg).
