Quote from P L A Y

Important: a full “mirror” of all files isn’t realistic because each upload is copyrighted by its creator. The only reliable way for content to survive is that authors re-upload their own work (or explicitly give permission).

Hi everyone.
I’m the creator of the Norway scenery packages for Aerofly FS 2/4.
Since the site is closing, I want to make it clear that:

Anyone is free to mirror, re-upload, and share my files as long as they stay 100% freeware.

I don’t claim copyright, and I don’t require credit.
The only thing I don’t allow is selling or using the files in any commercial way.

Thanks to anyone who wants to help keep the Norway scenery packages alive for the community.

Personally Michael, I go for 7, the most natural appearance and which looks like real grass.

Agree with that choice.

Quote from Zbidi

Straßen richtig zu erkennen sein

It will be the same as asking when the roads will be properly recognizable in Google Maps and Bing Maps, etc. In other words, the roads in AFS4 are completely realistic - in contrast to the "artificial lines" in MSFS2020.

Quote from douglas55

I like mountains, valleys, and gorges to fly in and around and through.

If that is the case - I would recommend that you test my Norway scenerys (orthophotos):

Thread

Project Lofoten_8, Norway

2m/pix resolution.

Includes airport from fscloudport.com.

You need scandinavia freeware mesh made by Taburet, or equivalent mesh.

I think I might be pregnant?

Will be taking some tests next week.

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

We are currently evaluating if perhaps we can create a generic seat and window model for all aircraft that is visible when you sit at the passenger seat.

Please, do not spend resources on the cabin interior at the expense of important functions. And don't waste fps for this kind of gimmick.

Edit: Existing view from the "cabin side" is already in place and works excellently.

Quote from Pe11e

BTW any good scenery for EU/part of EU, or I need to create the ortho myself?

Flight Sim . org - World Map

(AFS4 can use ortho from AFS2).

Quote from admin

Right now we can easily create a world wide coverage of cultivation data, it's a question on how we distribute this data to our customers.

From my point of view, an upload to flight-sim.org of the remaining cultivation of Norway would be an extremely good starting point.

Quote from IZ0JUB

if amateur volunteers make scenery for the areas you are interested in then maybe those at IPACS would consider building airfields and full cultivation, just my take on it, kindest regards.

Totally agree!!

That would be magnificent. A continuation of the great cultivation and airports in Norway is high on the wish list. It would also inspire to create more complementary scenery for Norway.

Quote from PilotHaus

Only part of EU and USA is not enough.

In any case, it is important to start with the hardware itself:

Quote from Mr_Smith

Time skipping screen

show waypoints, T/C and T/D

Let the user drag the plane on the time-line allowing to also move back in time.

Very good proposal that should be high on the priority list.

Quote from sbrunot

and more than often i also end up with a LVR ASYM notice on the PFD because the throttles are not perfectly aligned (we’re talking less than one millimeter here !).

This often happens on my PC as well ...

Quote from jayeye2011

You want to make it easier for others to make addons for your simulator (both free and commercial payware) if you hope to have a big user base for your game.

Yes, hasn't IPACS said they will give us the tools we need to make airports, etc.? Or is there something I may have misunderstood?

Yes - I have started with an update of my Norway project. So it's just a joy to be able to share.

Quote from IZ0JUB

I am still using fs2 and have no reason to change, it would be a very sad day to see all my work and team projects deleted from the server.

Sceneries for FS2 that still work for FS4 should obviously not be removed.

Quote from cristianodesa

I love to fly in Norway using that bugged simulator.

Same here.

Quote from cristianodesa

and I appreciate if someone could send a screenshot showing the Norway navigation map (flight planner map) and its airports (specially Tromso and Bodo).

IPACS has created a number of great new airports in this area. Unfortunately, Bodo is currently missing. Here are a couple of examples:

Tromso.

Hammerfest.

Quote from cristianodesa

Have this country high-resolution textures?

No. But a relatively large part of freeware textures of Norway can be downloaded from flight-sim.org. IPACS has filled Southern Norway with great cultivation areas. Buildings and trees that are spot on. Just hope that IPACS can continue the same great work up north as well.

Here are some screenshots from southern Norway:

Quote from DirkW

Really? OK, thanks, I will try it again.

If your Motion Platform V3 does not work in AFS4 - you can send an email and ask for the latest AFS4 beta version.

info@nextlevelracing.com

Quote from DirkW

Is it planned to implement motion simulator-capable telemetry at some point?

I'm not sure what you mean technically - but AFS4 works just fine with my Next Level Racing Motion Platform V3.

It is strongly desirable to get access to ArcGiS again.
