Volos and District of Magnesia, Greece

File Description:
This package DOES NOT contain finished FS scenery products! Instead, the three bitmaps (N38.6-39.9 E22.4-23.3) are meant to be used for FS landscape scenery design with Ground2K4 (by Christian Fumey) or similar utilities. Source data are public domain Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite images, at 15-m and 30-m ground resolution. I used professional GIS software for the geographic transformation to lat/long-WGS84 projection, and photo processing software for channel merging and image enhancements. Each image has been tested in Ground2K4 for accurate placement. Note: These images have been ECW-compressed and need special (free) software for decompressing (instructions included).

Columbia River AI Floatplanes and Vessels

File Description:
An optional add-on for my cr_gorge.zip, these files add custom AI floatplane and ship traffic on the Columbia River between Washougal and The Dalles, as well as GA flightplans for some of the smaller airfields in the coverage area. Included are the HU-16 Albatross (Greg Pepper/Warren Landis), two variants of the Monocoupe 135 (Tom Miller), a S300C helicopter on floats (Jordan Moore), as well as Hovercraft and Jetfoil vessels by Mitsuya "Hama" Hamaguchi using repaints by M. Allen Richards and Dobro. All models have custom flight models and dynamic water effects. The included AI models can be utilized in other locations for which custom AFCAD files are available. For more details on AI floatplanes and ships see my ai_ships, ai_shipx, and ai_floats.zip packages.

Floatplanes Starter Kit

File Description:
This Starter Kit provides AI traffic of three floatplanes in the San Francisco Bay (Pier 39) and instructions for setting up other floatplanes and additional AFCAD2 water strips anywhere in the FS world. Simple installation! The AI floatplanes - Piper J-3C-65 Cub, Waco Classic Biplane, and Aviat A-1B Husky - have their contact points adjusted so that their floats are actually in the water. Realistic wake and spray effects. Also includes three additional floatplane templates for the default C208 Amphibian and a DHC-2 Beaver and Noorduyn Norseman (separate downloads).

Austria & Germany - Innsbruck to Bad Toelz, Background Bitmaps

File Description:
This package DOES NOT contain finished FS scenery products! Instead, the three bitmaps (N46.7-47.8 E10.7-12.0) are meant to be used for FS landscape scenery design with Ground2K4 (by Christian Fumey) or similar utilities (see my Innsbruck_G2K4.zip). Source data are public domain Landsat 5 TM satellite images, at 30-m ground resolution and a NIMA SPOT satellite mosaic, at 10-m ground resolution (Innsbruck area only). I used professional GIS software for the geographic transformation to lat/long-WGS84 projection, and photo processing software for channel merging and image enhancements. Each image has been tested in Ground2K4 for accurate placement. Note: these images have been ECW-compressed and need special (free) software for decompressing (instructions included).
