Canary Islands Photo Scenery released at SimMarket

Quote

Hi Delfin;

what I was saing is that I do not do airports scenery; somebody along the line one day will eventually do canary islands airports;

have a good day

ray

Airfields are no problem, because some of us (like me) have "specialized" on airfields via fscloudport.com or/and flight-sim.org. It would only be good to coordinate.

Edit: there are 9 airports on http://www.fscloudport.com/fsc?openview&c…y=es&country=es

I'm sticking into this scenery now with 5 m terrain mesh aerofly love it ! Canary terrains will quadruplicate resolution in the next update.

I'm looking forward to flying along Playa de Papagayo. With 5 m mesh it will look fantastic.

I would like to improve the base aerofly mesh; next I will attempt to compile whole Italy at 19 m and post a download link on this forum for those who want to download

Ray, you're my hero. Since I love flying in Italy, it will look much more real in future when I glide over the Apennines. Thank you very much!

Hi Ray:

Thanks for the recent pics. They look gorgeous!. Eagerly waiting for your update.

Your appreciations are correct. Aerofly has big strong points or advantages, like graphics engine, terrain engine (as you said), very fluid with normal FPS well above 100 and most importantly, being those FPS constant (so, no stuttering). Also, it's very simple to setup, use and maintain, and very reliable. It's also important to mention that its VR capabilities are top notch in the business.

The main issue with Aerofly has been in my opinion, the lack of complimentary features like real weather including winds and rain effects, more complex aircraft systems, ATC communications, AI traffic, flight planning, to really be a true and complete flight simulator. So far, if you look at these forums, almost everybody is just talking about the trilogy photo-scenery, geo-conversion & cultivation, so mainly talking about scenery making and viewing, and that's simply not enough (to me!). Even at this point we don't really know if some or just part of the above mentioned features will ever be implemented, since so far IPACS has been reluctant to release a roadmap for AFS2, and all progress, measured by the addition of those features has been extremely slow.

We also need that more developers jump into the game to produce add-on scenery, aircraft, etc., to complement the sim, as has always been the case with FSX and now P3D and X-Plane. So, I'm really excited by the fact that you like AFS2 and expect you'll be able to stay in and produce more detailed scenery in the future.

Of course, I can be wrong, but this is my true feeling!.

Cheers, Ed

Maybe with time more features will be implemented into the sim; by ipacs or third party developers

aerofly base is excellent; and if keep going this path the simulator is going to be a winner.

It seems that one of the main airports on the islands, Lanzarote, does not have any buildings on FSCloudPort.

I added some buildings to FsCP Lanzerote Airport

This community is great. I just need to learn how to do this so that I can contribute as well.

Lanzerote is indeed a great island to make a scenery for!

all done and packing- need to take some new images as the terrain is changed

and for those who love this particular airport it has been given lots of love and It is open for business

I'm looking forward to the update with a straight runway.

Could it be that my terrain is more blurred?

Ray Taburet has released his v2 of the Canary Islands at SimMarket!

Cheers, Ed

Thanks for letting us know! I will buy now.

Thanks for the patch, it is great

now someone has to fix the GCLP airport altitude as it is a bit low and blinking

Time to pull out the credit card.

Thanks for your work Ray!

Good luck

Werner

Ps: a nice thank you to the freeware manufacturers!

Just a minor detail. The manual suggests the following install path for the Steam version:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator\addons\scenery"

I own the Steam version but don't have that directory. Instead I have (neglect the inessential fact I have AeroflyFS2 installed on the K drive)

K:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator AddOns\scenery

Kind regards, Michael

Hello, if you dont want to polute the stream folder, the C:\Users\ user Name \Documents\Aerofly FS 2\AddOns\scenery works as well for me

Yes,

the user's documents location will be the best place.

It doesn't matter whether this folder is at C: or any other drive. Windows allows to change the drive for this folder.

And as Etien stated, this is the appropriate subfolder:

....\Documents\Aerofly FS 2\AddOns\scenery

I don't have an issue with installation myself, it just might be confusing for others who don't find the path...

Kind regards, Michael

Will the scenery be available on Steam?

Will the scenery be available on Steam?

The scenery is for Steam and boxed version users. Instructions are included that enable you to install it for either. Downloading the 9 airports for the scenery from FSCloudPort is easy too, but keep asking questions if it is not clear to you. Most folk here love to help.

Thank you AOB.
