July 21, 201114 yr Can anyone point out where I can get the UK-SOUTH scenery please? Apparently Wikipedia reckons there's an 'amazing' scenery add-on for FU3 but I can't find it anywhere!Thanks in advance
July 22, 201114 yr Author Reading this gave me a little hope:Uk-south Can Be Done - The AVSIM Forums Then I realised I couldn't find londondevkit.zip in the AVSIM library. Gaargh.Can anyone help?
July 22, 201114 yr The UK Region project was started by the FU3 community in 2001 and terminated in 2006. The first 5 megatiles (from a total of about 600!) around London was uploaded into the library but they was removed after march 2010 from it. There are no more megatiles in the library for copyright reasons and anyway the full UK-region is a set of 16 Gigabyte so there is no way to upload this amount anywhere. There are still tools and build helper files in the library as:UK_South placeholder texture http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=lgfu3&DLID=148084or as sample how to build a region using map servicesChannel Islands (add on region) http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=lgfu3&DLID=122101Andre
July 22, 201114 yr Author the full UK-region is a set of 16 Gigabyte so there is no way to upload this amount anywhere. Erm, never heard of Bittorrent then?or as sample how to build a region using map servicesMaps2bglk no longer works (it just downloads blank tiles).Right, that's it, I give up. I don't understand why a lot of people would put so much work into something just to let it disappear.
July 29, 201114 yr Sonny_Jim, the evasiveness you experience regarding the UK region is basically due to the copyright issues. Actually, this situation is typical of any kind of flight simulator implementation of photo textures--the images are widely and freely available but nobody can or will grant anyone a license to use them.
