Freeware scenery list links working again

  • Unfortunately, there was no way of an automatic repair of the broken links to https://flight-sim.org/ on my

    AeroflyFS2 Freeware Sceneries List

    These links were broken as a result of a recent software update, which as such is highly welcome as it allows upload of much larger files. Thus, I had to swallow the bitter pill of updating the > 300 links the hard way, i.e. by hand.

    All links should be working again, if not, drop me a note. I'll add recent Freeware additions including the famous Apollo-50 project over the next weekend.

    Kind regards, Michael

  • Thanks for the kind words, guys. I'll add all missing files during the next days. There have been several exciting new projects recently, including Apollo-50, Neuchatel, and others. Plus, I am sure we'll see another outburst after the new AeroScenery will become available. Like most of us, I'm also much looking forward to the Living World demo.

    The new flight-sim.org server software will certainly make the smaller number of larger files better managable for all involved - the developer, the end user and me.:)

  • Hello Michael:

    Some time ago I tried to download the island of Tenerife (which I know well from my vacation there), from your link, and I was surprised that it didn't work. I assumed it was not finished yet. But I see that the problem was another: the breaking of that link as a result of an update.

    I guess repairing it manually is a laborious job. Can it be repeated again as a result of another update? If the answer is affirmative, it is very laborious to keep all this compilation ready to download. In addition, that collection of freeware will continue to grow.

    I hope you don't need to repair that anomaly again. Thanks for that huge job.

    Kind regards: Delfin

  • Some time ago I tried to download the island of Tenerife (which I know well from my vacation there), from your link, and I was surprised that it didn't work.

    Should work again. Took me around 4 hrs. Supposedly a small amount of time compared to what each member of the Apollo-50 team invested or what Michael (IZ0JUB) spent for Finland alone.:)

    I hope this will not happen again, because the (fortunately) growing number of uploads exponentiates the effort indeed.

    Kind regards, Michael

  • As of today, the list is up to date again. I am really happy to see people obviously USING it.

    Initially, I intended to download, install and try all sceneries, but I soon detected, this would require months of work, so I had to restrict to the areas I am interested in. We users can be really happy to have such busy developers on board!

  • For both Michaels, (IZOJUB and pmb)

    I have downloaded "Tenerife cultivations" and "Tenerife island". The download works correctly. The sizes are, 40.9 MB. and the 328 MB. respectively, and I found something that seems very strange to me.

    After having incorporated these downloads according to this criterion:

    C \ .... aircrft \ scenery \ places \ Tenerife cutivation 2019

    I note that, after adding (linking), "Tenerife cultivation" to Places, very elementary buildings scattered on the surface of the Island appear on the ground, as well as some vegetation (very randomly distributed trees). This is the purpose of Tenerife cultivation.

    Below I have also linked to places \ TENERIFE BING 2389 2019. (in parallel with Tenerife cultivation) and has no effect.

    The mesh or resolution of the territory, remains exactly the same (very low resolution), as before the download of 328 MB.

    This question arises: What effects does "Tenerife island = TENERIFE BING 2389 2019" produce on the Island?. What am I doing wrong?

    To both, kind regards: Delfin

  • I am afraid I can't help you here, as I use the Tenerife made by Taburet (only). Probably Michael (I)/ IZOJUB can help here. However, I already noticed that

    https://flight-sim.org/filebase/index…fe-cultivation/

    seems to have been uploaded (or classified) to a wrong place, namely "Textures for Sceneries" while it is actually Cultivation.

  • Hi Michaels, ( IZOJUB and pmb )

    Finally everything works correctly; My question was in which of the folders I should copy the correct programs. Clarified this by IZOJUB, everything works fine, and frankly, with better resolution than I expected.

    I repeated the operation with the island Gran Canaria, and also everything correct.

    I added the 2 airports of Phil (Spit 40) "FSCloudPort" to Tenerife and two others to Gran Canaria, which makes it much more beautiful, traveling around the island and thus being able to land on anyone.

    It is possible that within a few days, make a request to fellow Forum experts in "scenario cultivation." There is a region where I live, which I would like to cultivate.

    Once again, thank you very much IZOJUB and pmb.

    Kind regards: Delfin

    You certainly can ask. I am not that fluent doing cultivation myself, but I can imagine someone to jump in. If memory serves me right, Michael I (IZOJUB) has already done a few areas requested.

  • Just found and used your excellent link page, pmb, much appreciated, thank you.

    Downloaded and copied/installed Zealand and Northen Germany, IZOJUB, really fantastic to be able to fly over such scenery and freeware. Even my own house I can ovefly with the Bing images.

    One problem though :) where do I find the airports for the area? Navaids are popping up in the navigation map, but no airports, I guess they must be installed seperately.

    I can land the c172 at EKAE, but that the image, not airport layout, the grass strip is easy to locate.

    That's an easy one, they are here

    as mentioned on top of my list, btw.:)

  • Good Morning Delfin,

    Yes I can make cultivation for you, I would be happy to do that, I assume its a small area?

    If you have already made the photo scenery tile for your area I only require the bottom left corner and top right corner co-ordinates so I can cultivate the exact area.

    Kindest regards, Michael.

    Hello Michael

    What follows, I planned to publish it in the Forum, hoping someone would offer to do for me, a crop in my area of residence and its surroundings including a couple of airports: Santiago de Compostela and La Coruña (LEST and LECO), distant from each other over 50 km.

    "I have seen in:" AeroflyFS2 Freeware Sceneries List "an extensive collection of crops from different areas in several continents and nations. I suppose that some of the users of this Forum make certain areas for reasons of proximity, or family region, or their nation But surely others randomly cultivated areas without taking into account any sentimental reason.


    Would anyone be willing to do the cultivation of my city, its surroundings including the airport of Santiago de Compostela (LEST and LECO distant from the first about 50 km.). ? "


    After reading the advice of "pmb", and subsequently your volunteer offer, you have left me deeply impressed with that quick response.

    I had been thinking about this for some time, but it seemed a bit daring to apply for this job, which I do not know at all, and that besides my limited time available, it does not allow me to start studying all this series of programs, to simply cultivate this area, since I'm not fond of cultivating other territories.

    You say assume it is a small area; well, what is the extent of the area that you assume reasonably small?

    I am really interested in a certain resolution in the cities and their surroundings, the rest matters less to me. I guess then those areas with different resolutions can be joined giving a sense of continuity.

    As I do not know the time it takes to make these cultivations depending on the area to be cultivated, I do not want (because of my ignorance), to send you something that is too much for you to work, so I strongly urge you to tell me with absolute sincerity, the area that you consider 'reasonably small', expressed in km ^ 2. View your answer, I will provide you with the coordinates.

    Thank you very much for your advice pmb, (Michael II) and greatly grateful for your offer Michael.

    Kind regards: Delfin

  • Only as a sidenote: I think Santiago de Compostela would be famous enough to be interesting to other users, too. I certainly would give it a spin. Unfortunately, I doubt the beautiful airport can be properly represented by means of FSClouport alone, but it should be sufficient to have at least a runway and terminal and such.

    Kind regards, Michael

    Hi Michael

    Thank you for your advice about this city. Indeed, FSCloudport has long since downloaded it there, but as you say, it is extraordinarily simple and very poor in all its buildings. Well, it really has no buildings.

    I find it surprising that the Tenerife South airport is much more elaborate than the Santiago airport. Even Tenerife north (Los Rodeos), where the biggest global aviation catastrophe has happened. In that I got a great disappointment when I downloaded Santiago (LEST); Nothing to do with reality. Of course, its author, (Spit40 = Phil) I understand that he cannot stop excessively in setting up a large infrastructure of buildings, given the large number of airports he has designed all over the world.

    In spite of everything, once downloaded, its environment earns a lot in colorful. This has happened to me in Tenerife and Gran Canaria, which once 2 airports are downloaded on each Island, offers another much more real and pleasant aspect.

    And with regard to the Canary Islands: I have observed that buildings and cities have a much more realistic aspect in Gran Canaria, than in Tenerife. I guess it is due to the mesh used in cultivation.

    Yes, as you say, I guess this city could be interesting for more users. It would be necessary and very convenient to use a high resolution mesh for the city; It would cost work, but it would be a work of art given its architecture.

    Well Michael, thank you very much for your interest and contribution of information.

    Kind regards: Delfin                                                                                                                                                                                  

  • Good afternoon, Michael

    You have given me a very pleasant surprise: I did not expect you to carry out such extensive cultivation. I was satisfied with half. Double thanks for choosing such a large area.

    The learning of Geography, in a way it was my fault, for not having described the situation of those cities, but that has happened, because I expected to send you the coordinates, before you started work, which you would try less.

    Having seen the map you send me, you will make these modifications:

    1). Move vertically and down, and to the left, until the city of Ferrol, is in the upper right corner, (but that city, is visible in cultivation).

    2) .- Made this displacement of the tiles, Cape Finisterre, (completely to the left of the map), will be inside another tile, and as we have one left over, you will place it below the other four, in such a way that in it, the cities of Pontevedra and Vigo will enter. In Vigo, we also have another airport. Do not worry about airports, I hope to install them myself.

    Not in the most favorable situation, did I expect such surface coverage.

    I'm sorry I don't have the tools to make you that graphic modification, but I hope you understood my explanation.

    Once that modification is made, send it to me through the Forum, but see if it suits me, and you can start the cultivation work.

    Thank you very much for all your effort

    Kind regards: Delfin

  • Good night, Michael

    I don't understand why you don't make the modifications I suggested; Didn't you save two tiles?

    I also don't understand very well the difference between: cultivation alone, and cultivation and photo scenery. What is the difference?.

    The Canary Islands, have the two processes mentioned here, or only cultivation ?.

    Well, I want what most closely resembles the photographic scenario. In other words, I would like to have a vision of the stage that I fly, like the one we have in Google earth., But according to what I know, that is impossible at the moment.

    Kind regards: Delfin
