Another user raised a question about bridges on the far side (from JFK) of Manhattan. There are none there. This is great scenery but any chance of an upgrade coming please?
A user on the Avsim forum said that the George Washington bridge is visible in the DVD version but not the Steam. If so, is there any update or similar we can have put on Steam for us please?
We are getting some nice add on sceneries from users like iozojub for free nearly every day. That enhances the sim and gives us new places to see and fly to. Have you tried some of their files?
Thank you again for doing this for us. Great scenery!
Welcome Frank. May you always enjoy this great sim.
Thanks for your work so far and for sharing those pics. Sailed into Sydney Harbour last week at the end of a cruise. Beautiful place. Looking forward to the release.
I mostly play Aerofly on my Samsung phone so the new update will be most welcome.
If you go to github.com you can pick up one of these for free from Krzysztof Kaniewski. He has a great range of free planes there for us. Not implying that they are better than Justflight planes, think of them as sweeteners.
Thank you for part 4. Another beautiful addition to our favourite sim. 
Brilliant! It looks great thank you all. 
Great video. Is that real or a simulator?
Call me ignorant but I cannot see a link that will get me to files relating to the Missouri placed at Ford Island. I fired up my FSXSE to check it out in the Megascenery Hawaii and found this which is quite bizarre! I am thinking a missing ship in AFS2 is better than this result!!
This is what I see when I fly where I think the ship should be.
Hi All,
I was just wondering if there is a scenery object for this ship? I could not see it when using the Oahu scenery and cultivation.
I think we all did. I remember when PNW was said to be coming to AFS2 as well. Still, I guess Orbx must cater for their main customer base and not waste development money on an exotic VR oriented sim like ours.
I installed the 10m mesh first and found that I had graphic errors with towers appearing alongside the runway etc. Removed them and installed Taburet 19m Scandi-2 and it works perfectly and that scenery is beautiful thanks guys for all your work. :-0
Augustine Winther has made a 10m mesh for the whole of Norway.
Thanks for the great work!
I cannot find it either. I see on Simmarket that he has done one for XP11 but nothing there for AFS2.
Looking good. Did you fix Samos yet with the buildings in the water?
Display MoreAround one year ago, I entered into direct correspondence with the owner of PC Aviator (developer of Megascenery). He and I go back 25 years. He was my first publisher when I was a commercial addon pioneer for the MSFS franchise. I have great respect for this gentleman, and so I asked him to consider porting over Megascenery to AFS2. Sadly, it went nowhere.
Why? Same old reason, and one which makes commercial sense. The user base for AFS2 is tiny compared to other platforms. This means that any developer must balance the expected workload on a given project with the anticipated return on investment. When this balance was looked at, it apparently made no sense to develop Megascenery for AFS2 at that time.
What is the economic truth here? It is that the market has not yet adopted AFS2 in sufficient numbers for the majority of addon producers to justify developing for it. And whether we like it or not, the chances are slim that this trend is going to reverse. Not only does AFS2 continue to be devoid of features that most of the market considers essential, but we now face the re-entry into the market of Microsoft next year. With more choice being made available to an already niche marketplace, the already small market share that IPACS enjoys is going to be further threatened.
Folks, I am not saying this to be a prophet of doom and gloom, I am re-stating the market reality that AFS2 needs to get up to speed expeditiously, or face commercial extinction.
Sure, IPACS might consider that they can happily take their time to get it right, but that philosophy is not resonating with the only people that matter, the buyers in the marketplace, and those buyers are soon to get even more choice.
I do not blame PC Aviator for not coming to the AFS2 platform. And I do not blame ORBX for appearing gun-shy on their promises to deliver many many airports and sceneries in 2019 for AFS2. I also do not blame JustFlight for currently not having a new GA aircraft listed as "in development" for AFS2. The market is speaking, and their language is their spending patterns. The third party developers are the leading recipients of those spending patterns, and they are listening to the market.
And one last contextual point. I owned one of the first companies to create addons for ANY flight sim two and a half decades ago, and we had boxed products in stores around the world. However, I did not listen to the marketplace. After seven years of success, my company products fell behind the sophistication curve the market was craving for. In the end it cost me the business and we folded. IPACS, are you listening?

Thank you for your detailed answer to my uneducated statement about Megascenery Ken. much appreciated. I was thinking that as their scenery was so close to Ortho it would have been easy to port over but I am not technically minded so probably I am wrong on that point as well. I got frustrated with Orbx and the now defunct Flight Sim World as well. Orbx products were soooo close to working in FSW, the walls of buildings did not show up and couple of other minor glitches but the scenery loaded okay. It always seemed to me that just a little bit of effort and the whole Orbx world might have been available to that sim.
Hmmm ...... Having bought Orbx Australia Red, Green, Blue and Gold and the update to Australia V1.0 and lately the updated Australia V2.0 for FSX I can tell you that a "professional" product is not always worth the money either! The latest offering seems to focus on mining operations in the more inaccessible areas of the continent and has one yes that is one decently modeled city. That is Melbourne and undoubtedly the home town of the author. When I queried where is Adelaide Oval (almost a religious shrine for cricket fans) and my city, I got told "what do you expect for the price!". After having bought that and all the aforementioned earlier versions I was not real pleased with him or Orbx.
The company that should have come on board our sim is Megascenery Earth not Orbx in my opinion.
