Slovakia news - It's finished :)

Hi Marco,

Just so that no one here gets confused, it would be best to update part of your signature as it has become outdated. (Flight-sim.org)

Starting to explore the beautiful Slovakia, thank you Marco!

With a great scenery like this one, AFS4 can be an amazing flight simulator to explore landscapes and new regions, the Robin DR400 is great for doing this!

The scenery is 25Gb+ of pure high quality material.

The scenery is 25Gb+ of pure high quality material. I am ready to start my ridge soaring in Slovakia!

What in the AI is this 😂😂. I am from Slovakia and the locations of mountains and cities, or even airports is nowhere near the reality 😂😂

Oh! ChatGPT and it imagination, I will delete it. I was happy to fly there

Thanks for the correction, it seems that this information may be true, I hope so

Where people actually fly gliders in Slovakia (real clubs + airfields)

1) Nitra Airport (LZNI) — Aeroclub Nitra

• Active gliding and training (the aeroclub lists training on L-13 Blaník / L-23 Superblaník).
• Host of the Pribina Cup (international gliding competition in Nitra).

Why it’s useful for sim routing: Nitra is in the southwest lowlands; it’s a well-known base for XC competition tasks (good for “contest-style” routes).

2) Prievidza Airport (LZPE) — Aeroklub Prievidza (GlidingPARADISE)

• The club explicitly presents itself as a glider-flying organization and publishes the airfield details (ICAO LZPE) and even WGS84 coordinates.
• Their site lists/mentions competitions (including FCC gliding).
• Their homepage also references major events hosted there (example: Junior European Gliding Championships 2025 in Prievidza).

Why it’s useful for sim routing: Central Slovakia, closer to ridge-capable terrain than Nitra.

3) Slavnica / Dubnica Airport (LZDB) — Aeroklub Dubnica nad Váhom

• The aeroclub states they do powered flight, gliding (non-powered), and parachuting, and that they’re part of the Slovak national aero club structure.
• The airport is commonly referenced as LZDB.

4) Martin Airfield (LZMA) — Aeroklub Martin

• Public grass airfield operated/owned by Aeroklub Martin; ICAO LZMA.
• The club site explicitly offers a “glider pilot course” (Kurz pilota vetroňov).

5) Slovak National Aero-Club (umbrella org)

• Slovakia’s official tourism portal notes that fans of gliding are united in aero clubs that are part of the Slovak National Aero-Club, and that you can fly across the territory (general statement, not a list).

Competitions you can cite safely

• Pribina Cup — run in Nitra (Easter period is typical; see official site/tourism portal).
• FCC Gliding — referenced by Aeroklub Prievidza / GlidingPARADISE.
• Junior European Gliding Championships 2025 in Prievidza is referenced on Aeroklub Prievidza’s site.

How to contact you for the Vienna scenery files? You are doing some bravo work for the Aerofly community. Keep xchugging away.

Hiho Schnuffi,

Vielen Dank für Deine tolle Arbeit, freue mich sehr die Gebiete zu erkunden. Bin aber noch nicht dazu gekommen, leider..

Eine kleine Frage hinterher: ich habe einen Hauptordner unter ..."\images" gemacht mit dem Namen "HU_Schnuffel_Budapest_u_Slowakei" und alle Daten in diesen Ordner kopiert.

Ist das soweit i.o?

Merci

Mit "Hauptordner" meinst Du dennoch einen Ordner in Deinem Nutzerverzeichnis - oder? Generell empfiehlt IPACS, ausschließlich Kleibuchstaben zu verwenden.

Ansonsten müsste es passen.

----------

By "main folder" you still mean a folder in your user directory - right? In general, IPACS recommends no using of capital letters.

Otherwise it would have to fit.

Ja Michael. Ich habe einfach einen Ordner erstellt im image-Ordner. Dort eben diesen mit Hu_Schnuffel_Budapest_u_Slowakei erstellt und dann die ca. 25GB Daten reinkopiert.

Slovakia is my new Switzerland for gliding

Perfect sunday gliding flight in this great scenery:

Quote from Schnuffelduffel

For everyone who's been waiting for a week: I didn't want to release it yet because I had another update planned with Bratislava. That was finished last night. I think it was worth it. You'll be surprised. I'll also be contacting everyone who wanted the scenery.

Anyone who wants the Slovakian scenery with Vienna and Budapest can contact me. And as I mentioned, this is a major project, taking about five months to complete, so I'm always grateful for a small donation as a token of appreciation. My images have been painstakingly restored with sweat, tears, and a great deal of work, so you can enjoy a seamless and immersive flight experience.

Enjoy!

Here are some initial impressions:

Hope, you like it.

Will it be available for the mobile version?

Will it be available for the mobile version?

Unfortunately. Only scenery created by the iPACS team can be added to the mobile version. Actually, in Real Flight Simulator, airports and surrounding buildings are designed by the users. Our volunteer friends could have done the same in Aerofly mobile. @iPACS What are your thoughts on this matter?

Quote from Schnuffelduffel

Even if I could implement it for mobile, I don't think I would. Because: I don't have the mobile version myself and I'm not interested in it, since I only fly in VR/PC. So I wouldn't be able to test/check my own work. In addition, it would involve a completely different workload, which would certainly be considerable. Developing for the PC version is already a lot of work. I'm focusing on that.

No, you'll create it and send it to the IPACS team, and they'll add to it. It's the same way in Real Flight Simulator.
