Caribbean Island of Dominica

File Description:
This package DOES NOT contain finished FS scenery products! Instead, the two bitmaps (N15.1-15.7 W61.2-61.6) 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).

Namibia, Southwestern Africa Mesh Part 2 Of 5

File Description:
Add-on mesh for the entire country of Namibia (S17-29 E11-21), including the Caprivi Strip east to the Victoria Falls (Zambia/Zimbabwe). The source data are 3-arcsec (~90-m) Shuttle Radar (SRTM) files, compiled at LOD9 (76-m) resolution. Processing with John Childs' Blackart (v3.74) and Peter Guth's MicroDEM (v7.02). Includes a LOD7 buffer mesh to prevent blue slivers in the mid to far distance. Part 2 of 5.

Water Effects for AI Ships

File Description:
These are updated water effects for my AI_ships.zip file package. They remove the issue of wind influence on the wake and spray effect. Simply overwrite the previous set of effects in your FS9 Effects folder.

Bella Coola Valley Terrain Mesh and Scenery Enhancements

File Description:
One of the most spectacular watersheds of British Columbia's Midcoast, the Bella Coola Valley looks pretty boring in its default FS rendition. These files provide a LOD10 (38-m) mesh made from CDED1 0.75-arcsec data, a new landclass file, and accurate placements of lakes, rivers, streams, and roads. Also includes the glaciers of the Monarch Mt. Icefield and several forestry roads and clearcuts along the side valleys. Made with Ground2K4 based on Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery.

Namibia, Southwestern Africa

File Description:
Replacement landclass file for all of Namibia and parts of western Botswana (S15-30 E11-25). Based on the new Global Land Cover 2000 Project data, this landclass file is still quite basic but better (I believe) than the FS original. In addition, I used Ground2K4 to more accurately represent natural and man-made features in five areas throughout the country, including Windhoek, Swakopmund/Walvis Bay, and the Fish River Canyon. Meant to be used with my Namibia LOD9 add-on mesh series. Landclass source files are included.

High-resolution 76-m (LOD9) Terrain Mesh and Scenery Enhancements for the Southern Canadian Rockies

File Description:
Not simply an add-on mesh, these files include many scenery enhancements for the southern Rockies of British Columbia and Alberta. Coverage extends from Cranbrook to Calgary, and Hinton to Edmonton (N48.9-53.4 W112.3-116.3). The mesh source data are 3-arcsec (~90-m) Shuttle Radar (SRTM) files, compiled at LOD9 (76-m) resolution. All lake elevations (!) have been adjusted to eliminate the problems with the default lake data and to better fit the new terrain mesh. In addition, the Transcanada Highway/Icefields Parkway corridor in Banff National Park, from Canmore to the Hwy 11 junction, has been completely re-made, with dozens of alpine lakes (including Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Lake O'Hara), accurate transportation network, and landclass/waterclass updates based on satellite imagery. Due to significant changes in FS2004 to vector layering and autogen features, the special scenery enhancements cannot be used with FS2002. However, terrain mesh, lake corrections and landclass replacements will work well in FS2002.
