Quote from Hartman

When it comes to the great Italy scenery - using Google maps and ask for money - seems somewhat problematic??

That is exactly the reason, why it is absolutely voluntary. I don't think that Schnuffelduffel expects from each downloader a donation, but only 4 or 5 out of much more than 100 downloads?

I would like to stop the discussion at this point. It is obvious that we have different points of view to this topic and that is what it is. I gave a small donation, others don't want to. That's life.

Let's enjoy our simulator with its wonderful addons, payware, donation ware or freeware.

Good flights and happy landings!

Cheers

Luca

Quote from ApfelFlieger

I think it's very nice that we experience so much volunteer work here in the forum, no matter what someone is doing (planes, scenes, photos, providing servers, etc.).

With "payment" it is very easy for me to donate money for charitable projects and to contribute to hardware costs. With direct money transfers I simply have difficulties.

Tschüss, Michael (III)

I understand your point of view, but I don't see much difference between buying e.g. the Boston Scenery, soon Paris or even the Canary Islands, or making a voluntary donation to the creator in recognition of his work.

Perhaps there will be no border with Switzerland at all. As I heard from Schnuffelduffel on my request, 4 people have donated something for his Italy scenery so far.

This is a huge disappointment, because he asked that if we like the scenery, we should donate something. He is not concerned about the amount of the donation, but only about the fact that he can't see that his work is appreciated.

We must not forget that he wrote that he is self-employed. So the whole work for all of us (and of course for himself) has really cost him money, because without the project he would have accepted one or the other additional order.

We appreciate that some of us offer high quality freeware, but we also accept a reasonable purchase price for other sceneries, and we also donate to non-profit organizations to get sceneries. It would be very nice, if we would also be able to give the creator of such a great scenery, on which he has worked for almost a year, on a completely voluntary basis a contribution in case we like it.

These are just my 5 cents on this topic, Schnuffelduffel has nothing to do with this statement. I will also put this text in the other forum.

Riccardo, donate something to Italy and you'll also get your Lake Como. Riccardo, dona qualcosa per l'Italia e riceverai anche il tuo Lago di Como.

Bei meiner DVD-Version hat es geklappt.

War bei mir auch völlig problemlos. Ich hatte sämtliche addons im addon-Ordner, den ich einfach bei der Neuinstallation übernommen hatte.

They downloaded the earlier version from IZ0JUB, which is no longer present, because of the soon coming new version.

Quote from Tomfa

Once again, a big THANK YOU for all the work you have done and which you share generously and graciously with the whole community!

GREAT RESPECT

Also from me again a big thank you for this wonderful project and also the incredible time you have invested. I hope that everyone who downloads your scenery will read the read me file completely and will reward your work appropriately.

It is time for a countdown

It won't be long

I guess more or less about 100 GB.

I did some border tiles like this:

and

Sorry, that it is in German.

Quote from Schnuffelduffel

Soll ich mal langsam "Early Acsess" hochladen?

Ja klar, dauert ja sowieso ne Zeit, bis Du alles hochgeladen hast.

Quote from Flamingpie

Can't really see if there is cultivation everywhere...?

Really? IZ0JUB made cultivation for whole Italy. Please check it on flight-sim.org.

Just be patient a little longer. Schnuffelduffel works hard on the scenery. One problem was that there are probably newer orthos by now, which don't fit to the old versions anymore and these areas have to be redone to make it fit.

Quote from Flamingpie

I think Schnuffelduffel is mimicking IPACS's way of doing things.

Oh, oh, that's a courageous statement. You know that Santa Claus only gives gifts to the good children.

I met Santa Claus and I have great news. As you know, Santa Claus is a master of photo-scenery creation and his "Bella Italia" was really good. But since he is never satisfied, he is currently in the process of making some parts of Italy even more realistic. I saw a few sample pictures and they look really fantastic.

So, be patient a little longer and you will be rewarded with a beautiful Italy scenery. In terms of time to completion, there is already light at the end of the tunnel and no, it's not an oncoming train, it's Italy.

When you create a Photoscenery, you create squares (usually size 9). These squares, called grids, look different from the neighboring landscape, usually standard scenery with very low resolution. You will always see the transition, unless the self-created scenery covers very wide areas, such as whole countries or landscapes like Great Britain, Lofotes, Switzerland, Netherlands or very soon Italy.

Bravo Schnuffelduffel, ich bin schon ganz uffgerescht, wie der Hesse sagt.

Frohe Weihnachten und herzlichen Dank für Deinen Dienst für die FS 2 Community.

Quote from riccardo19

Hello, where I have to install precisely the photorealistic scenario of Italy.

I haven't seen any Italy photoscenery yet for download. Did you produce your own one?

For this reason, I didn't use the cultivation. BUT: the mesh is fantastic.

I'm really impressed when I fly on these Islands (partially with my own orthos with higher resolution )
