@IZ0JUB created them, but he's no longer here, sorry.

What do you mean that no longer here?

on this forum, like many others

Ohhhh ok.

@IZ0JUB has provided many additions to the former Flight-sim.org (closed at the end of 2026) for many years. When the ingratitude of some users in Flight-Sim.org and here in the forum became too much for him, he withdrew and deleted all his addons and banned their redistribution.

That's really sad to hear

Flew around Bahrain in VR, could see the beach and old Villa I grew up in.

Excellent work, thank you!

Can't get the scenery to work by me, have it under e:\aerofly_fs\scenery and have made use of the extra content folder in main.mcf, have tried with global streaming off and with global streaming on - Same result - No new scenery - All the downloaded scenery is here unpacked ?

What have i done wrong ?

Please take a screenshot of the contents of the AIRPORTS folder - and if possible, only of the contents and not of the entire screen.

Hi, although your installation doesn't meet the default, it should still work. The main point—and disadvantage—is that you have to splitt and install my scenery separately for each subdirectory, allways using the scenery name repetively in each folder:

E:\aerofly_fs\scenery\images\<scenery name>\images\map09...\*.ttx
E:\aerofly_fs\scenery\elevation\<scenery name>\elevation\cop30\...
E:\aerofly_fs\scenery\airports\<scenery name>\airports\...
E:\aerofly_fs\scenery\poi\<scenery name>\poi\...
etc.

My recommendation, therefore, is to leave the small scenery _fs4 file containing the data in the Addon-User directory as it is (just copy it) and to save only the large file containing the images on your separate drive E: (E:\aerofly_fs\scenery\images\<scenery name>\images\map09...\*.ttx)

By the way, this is the setup I use myself, cause I don't have enough storage space on my main drive. 😉

Global streaming has no impact. I recommend allways to use global data streaming on for all my sceneries! Else you would have missing airports, no cultivation etc.

Does it work now for you?
Otherwise, please post the full paths along with their contents.

Best regards,
Christophe

Hello, chrispirv

Thank you for creating such a high-quality plugin.

I would also like to ask: is this project still being actively developed?

Thank you.

Quote from chrispriv

The next extension is already underway and well advanced.

The area will go from the small mountain airfield VNST Simikot in the west extending to VNTJ Taplejung in the east and also covers IPAC's streamed airports and area in the south of Lukla.

10 small airfields, most of them in the mountains, will be added to the scenery.

There are plenty of mountain landing challenges ahead:

Hello Chrispriv, Beautiful work as usual... Since you are working on the hymalaya, I'd like to offer a suggestion for next projects: the northern part of Pakistan that includes Skardu, Gilgit and other airports.

Quote from chrispriv

Yes, it is. I still have to fix some ares but currently focusing on other projects.
Release is currently planned in September.

Alright, thanks for your answer

Thanks for your suggestion—it's a stunning mountain area! So I actually started working on it a while ago. The coverage will include the airports in Skardu, Gilgit, and Chilas, as well as the famous K2 mountain.

I did it allready in the past for the former Aerofly FS2, lost unfortunately the base images and have to redo it with enhanced image editing for some areas.

First impression of Skardu on FS4 using former texture:

So looking forward to se this! Actually I’m creating with the new startgerat and littlenavmap a sort of “Alps tour” with short flights an challenging landings that take advantage of Schuffelduffel “Bella Italia” addo-on from the good old times of Flight-sim… hope to do the same in Himalayas and share those flight plans with you all.
