I have discovered an error in the folder: "norway_062_hokksund".
Please remove the old "norway_062_hokksund" folder - and replace it with this new updated (version 2) folder "norway_062v2_hokksund".

South Norway_20 Gardermoen is ready for download.
Note: 8 airports in this area.

The cloud battle over Norway continues ...
Example of tile before and after processing = time consuming.
But - our Norwegian friend in Australia who feels homesick - can soon prepare for a new download.

Thanks Hartman 😃.
I hope your next one is going south(east of ENGM) 😃

No - the next is further north.
Then maybe a little south again ......

For those who are somewhat technically interested.
The picture shows some of the process north of Hamar - where the clouds leave the ortho - and rise. As soon as the fog has lifted I will upload a new area (3 airports).

The fog has lifted - and South Norway_22 Rena is now ready for download.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Hartman for all the work you are putting into making my country of birth, such an enjoyable place to fly in using AFS2! I have now downloaded and installed all the Norwegian content - Lofoten, Bardufoss, Bodo and Southern Norway, and it is just incredible to experience it, in all it's glory in wide field-of-view VR at 90 FPS! So, first of all - let me know where and how I can show my appreciation with a PayPal donation or otherwise. And a couple of questions, if I may. Can you make a chart for Southern Norway where you show the numbering "tiles" of ALLthe scenery produced, so that one can get a grasp of what is available and what is yet to come? Also wondering - flying with the cultivation in the Northern Parts is even much more enjoyable so, is there a plan to build cultivation for Southern Norway at some point? I had great fun finding the house where I grew up, just a few hundred meters south of the threshold of ENHA and it was huge fun to circle there, but from up close it was of course very obvious that you were flying on top of a "photograph" of the real world, and the presence of some buildings and structures would have made it even better!
Anyways - thanks again - truly appreciate your work!!!

Thank you Ozav8r, for your inspiring and kind words.

I'm not sure what you mean. It is not easy to make a static overview as the number of remaining tiles is decreasing. At each area (for example South Norway_21 Hamar) I enclose a map showing the relevant area (with number). The remaining tiles are marked with red squares on the map. Or are you thinking of something else?
Also wondering - flying with the cultivation in the Northern Parts is even much more enjoyable so, is there a plan to build cultivation for Southern Norway at some point?
It will depend on my motivation. And not least on good tools. I am no expert on making cultivation. In any case, I will first prioritize getting South Norway covered with ortho ....
but from up close it was of course very obvious that you were flying on top of a "photograph" of the real world
Yes, especially over flat areas such as eastern Norway. It is in flat areas that cultivation is most important. With mountains and fjords, some of that impression disappears. I believe that trees and forests should be the first priority (Especially near airports where we fly low). It has the greatest effect in reducing the feeling of flying over a photo. Then buildings (which are smaller objects than trees). Imagine if we could pick a forest map of Norway. Feed it into a software - which then created the forests for Aerofly FS2. Dreams .....
So, first of all - let me know where and how I can show my appreciation with a PayPal donation or otherwise.
Thank you for your generosity - but I do it for free. But if you want - you can donate to flight-sim.org (https://flight-sim.org/index.php?donation/) - which allows us to download a lot of freeware.

Doohh!, red squares on the map, means they are not yet covered. That makes sense, and I feel really dumb I didn’t realise it in the first place. Ahh well, wouldn’t be the first time.....
Your generous contribution is very much appreciated - I did make a donation to flight-sim.org after the firs Lofoten release, but time to chip in a few more bucks then!
Thanks a lot!

Also - any idea which direction you are planning to continue covering the Orthos? Bergen and Voss areas including Sognefjorden are incredibly scenic, and perhaps Jotunheimen and Dovrefjell?
Whichever way you go - we all appreciate it very much!
-
Also - any idea which direction you are planning to continue covering the Orthos?
No, do you?
Seriously. It depends on several things. If I have a lot of energy, free time and are extra motivated - I attack the worst "ortho-areas" (some of the areas you mention are really bad). I plan to continue with a "flight corridor" from Hamar and up to the starting point (Aalesund). Time will show.
But first, a short trip south ........ to make Deltawing happy.
