After a few weeks of asking and no replies John Venema posted this on the Orbx forum:
"Netherlands TrueEarth for AFS2 is already in beta testing and we are just dealing with some issues with some of the airports ported from P3D and also some animations and then we should be releasing."
That is GREAT NEWS! So it's really coming! And probably pretty soon too! This really made my day! And saved me a lot of time reinstalling P3D which I will forget about now for a while. Can't wait to fly above the best scenery yet for AFS2!
EDIT
Add to that the upcoming free Switzerland cultivation buildings for Aerofly FS2 and I won't need new scenery for quite a while...!
