2m/pix resolution.

Includes airport from fscloudport.com.

You need scandinavia freeware mesh made by Taburet, or equivalent mesh.

Thanks for the great work! How would one acquire "Scandinavia freeware mesh made by Taburet" ? Link? Or expired download?

I cannot find it either. I see on Simmarket that he has done one for XP11 but nothing there for AFS2.

Augustine Winther has made a 10m mesh for the whole of Norway.

I've always had problems with his 10m mesh. So hopefully we can get Taburet's mesh back in action to share.

Example of 10m mesh from that link:

I had that in the beginning too. I had to remove a few duplicate, empty mesh tiles. Then it worked

Flamingpie · September 11, 2019 at 9:15 AM

Norway! Say 'Norway' and you've got my attention! I may check this one out if we can get a hold on that mesh.

I echo that! Lofoten (plus Trondheim) are my two favorite Norway areas.

Kindly provide a link Mr Hartman, thank you.

Downloaded Winthers mesh Central Norway. It functions without issues.

Great.

Quote abbiati50 :

"..... the mesh is now called Scandi_1 and Scandi_2 - Scandi_2 is the new block added to complete the whole region

feel free to put it online if you like; that will be great if possible."

19 M Mesh - Italy

Perhaps someone with a powerful broadband line can upload Taburet (abbiati50) "Scandinavia" mesh?

Alternatively, I can try to upload the Norwegian section. But it may not be necessary now when Winter's "Central Norway" works in this area?

A quick testflight around in the Leknes area. Superb images and a very detailed Winters mesh.

Thanks for your feedback. Then I will try to upload the next part (and the next airport) soon.

Jetjockey10 · September 11, 2019 at 5:20 PM

OK. So where do we find these files?

I was informed that the Scandinavia freeware mesh (19m) made by Taburet (abbiati50) is no longer available. I will try to upload the Norwegian section (Scandi_2).

But above pgf confirms that Augustin Winters 10m mesh is ok.

Okay, gave your project a try and... WOW! I'm impressed! The quality of the textures reminds me a lot of the IPACS Florida DLC and Switzerland. And that's a compliment. Love the looks of the water (just as good as Florida)! The ground colors also look great (though maybe a bit pale (lacking contrast?) in some parts?). I'd love to see some more cultivation. But apart from that I think it looks pretty awesome! Great work and thanks for sharing! I am very happy you are planning to upload more parts (06 and 07? 11 and 12? All 18...?! Please!)! With more airports! Can't wait! This region certainly will prolong the life of AFS2 on my PC. I just LOVE Norway and I'm very happy to see it in AFS2 now!

EDIT
I'm using Winther's mesh without problems btw.

EDIT 2

For the first time in years I enabled the clouds again in AFS2 (density at max), at a rather low altitude: high enough so that I am flying underneath them (so they don't block my view while flying at 2500 ft) but low enough so I can't really see the limit of the small circle, and combined with the Lofoten mountains things look pretty darn cool now...! Almost a bit as if AFS2 has weather! Nice!

Fizzelle · September 11, 2019 at 9:43 PM

Thank you one and all for this hard work.

I have just come back from a visit to Lofoten (Torrfisk anyone?) and it is a beautiful and amazing place.

Hartman · September 12, 2019 at 2:16 AM

I have now uploaded Scandinavia West freeware mesh (19m) made by Taburet (Scandi_2):

OK, fantastic. Now we need someone to make an A - B comparison of the 10m vs 19m mesh. Obviously, the 10m should be noticeable sharper with better resolution of the elevation changes. Maybe Norway will finally be opened for AFS2 development. Thanks everyone, especially Hartman, for this super effort.

Jetjockey10 · September 12, 2019 at 3:36 AM

I just added Hartman to the authors of Leknes airport in fsCP so it can be properly developed. Make any changes you wish and if anyone else would like to be added just let me know.
