Hi Delfin;

what I was saing is that I do not do airports scenery; somebody along the line one day will eventually do canary islands airports;

have a good day

not sure everybody agree with me - every sim have its strength and weakness; I always asked myself why Ipacs took the route the took; a sim based on photorealistic; and now I understand why; not sure any others of the great simulators out there have potential of terrain rendering such as Aerofly;

the way the sdk and the sim shape the terrains is just fantastic !! textures stretching on vertical terrains is also limited to just few spots;

just imagine a bush scenery in Alaska full of trees and rough grounds !!

Hi Ray,

Are you planning on adding airports to the package or offering them as an additional add on?

Hi Nick;

I have to be honest; I am terrible in making airports; all my life I done terrains and vectors scenery; and some 3d cities;

yea; will be nice to have details airports for Canary; I am sure somebody will take the initiative and bring them on

I would like to improve the base aerofly mesh; next I will attempt to compile whole Italy at 19 m and post a download link on this forum for those who want to download

Looks wonderful, Ray!. When do you think it'll be released?.

Thanks, Ed

in a couple of days - I would say Friday

I working flat out on this one - there is an issue on la gomera affecting the eastern side of the islands where the addon mesh do not show; I have to have a look to sort out this if possible; 5 m mesh really look fantastic on aerofly; the terrain engine is really top class ! well done Ipacs !

I combined Ray's elevation with my own ZL18/AFS Level 15 images for Lanzarote. Looks pretty good.

that is good Martin;

I'm sticking into this scenery now with 5 m terrain mesh aerofly love it ! Canary terrains will quadruplicate resolution in the next update.

well for those who like flatten I have bad news because on the next update the mesh resolution will double; this will add more bumps; but of course airports will sit on flatten

aerofly fs2 work well with high res mesh; now we are going to carve further into the Canary islands terrains; those crucial features characteristic of those islands; walking tracks; roads; and cultivated terraces; bring them out as much as possible

Good day all;

thank you for the encouragement offered for the Canary islands venture;

it is always exciting to work for a new simulator; it just make the day more interesting.

just to let you know; I am improving the canary island scene; the airports are now clear of cultivations; and I am asked to add flatten areas at the airports.

the flatten areas will be set to the existing fscloudport existing canary islands airport scenery; I can not set a different elevation as it will make them unusable

I will than spend some time to see if is possible to compile sloped runways; it might all end in failure but worth a go.

the updated canary island will go up in couple of days more or less as soon is completed.

have a good evening

ray
