Idaho Scenery (Region 3) v0.9 BETA
-
I also downloaded the level 15 tiles now.
Spectacular detail and a joy to go with the EC135 and a widefield monitor.
A true eye catcher that shows that the one year of work pays out!

This is a comparison image of a real-world flight over the Cascade, ID airport, and that of the same flight recreated in AFS2. I'm really pleased with how the scenery has turned out so far.

AF2 looks better

The visibility is certainly better! No smoke.

I’m getting to the party quite late (long story) but am interested in flying in this area. Is there a graphic someplace that shows the completed scenery areas - I’m not familiar with SW Idaho. I will probably stop at Lvl 15 due to my slow download speed.
Fortunately You have attracted several quality heavyweights to assist you in this endeavor. I have worked with most of them on other scenery projects and familiar with their capabilities. (Apollo/Hawaii)

Yeah, I feel fortunate to have their help. The project would not be what it is without their help. In fact, it may have never seen the light of day without them.

I appreciate how much time and effort is required to make this high quality scenery. Although it is rewarding to the developers, few users take the time to provide constructive feedback and comments. Keep up the good work and watch the completed areas grow.

In another thread you write about a huge .toc file. It is better to have the toc files in smaller pieces according the grid and display distance. Large .toc files can also lead to height problems with flying scenery.

Exactly. I prefer osm tile sizes of level 10.
You can find the correct osm boarders with Vogel69's Grid Genrator:
AFS2 Grid Generator - Flight-Sim.orgUtility that should help you to generate AFS2 Grid easily viewable in google earth 1/ generate an Aerofly FS 2 grid in .kml format How to: Go into "Custom…flight-sim.orgThey also coincidence then with the AeroScenery boarders.
If all is ready, you should use IPACS preprocessor to split it into well sized chunks and eliminate doubled buildings in the overlapping zones and compress the scenery for better fluidness.

The huge .toc file is the master that I work from. I send that through the Aerofly Scenery Place Preprocessor to break it down into many smaller files that align with Aerofly's guidelines for scenery packages. Those smaller files are what is distributed with the scenery package.
