I know central Africa isn't always the most interesting place to fly around in FS9 (or FSX), though I do have some good sceneries from sites such as www.fsnabisso.com (seems to have gone west now), but surely at least some of the missing major (capital cities) should be covered? Where, I wonder, does one post airport scenery requests? (I did make a couple of airports myself once upon a time, but am not really up to designing one from scratch).Nothing at all is available for Tanzania (one little local airport apart).... did anyone ever find an FS9 scenery for Dar Es Salaam? Payware? I think there is none. Maybe a project for someone more capable than I am?Martin

Africa is a great place to fly, many challenging approaches, interesting weather. I have flown countless night VOR raw data approaches into remote cargo hubs using the PMDG 744F and MD11F. Not sure I would want to do it for real!This is a good place to start looking for scenery, unfortunately a lot was lost in the Avsim hack.http://www.freewarescenery.com/fs2004.htmlAnother good place to check is the Vatsim Africa divisions.http://vatcaf.flyvatsimafrica.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=36&Itemid=40Regards

Thanks - I visit the freewarescenery.com site every few days, and have seen the VATSIM site too - I do have quite a few central African sceneries installed in fact, but still many 'important' ones are missing, and no Dar Es Salaam as yet.Martin

fsnabisso.com/ seems to be down for now. Does anybody know temporary location for their sceneries or is willing to send those to me privately?

hey i agree, i believe that there are no where near enough payware scenerys in Africa. hundreds of pointless ones in the UK and USA that aren't interesting or diverse, and no decent africa ones except the following:

 

OrientalSim Nairobi (HKJK)

Aersoft Sharm El Sheikh X

Aerosoft Djerba X

Aerosoft Monastir X

 

That's it......

I can't believe some of the most interesting airports in the world like Dar Es Salaams Julius Nyerere (HTDA), Zanzibar Kisauni (HTZA), Kilimanjaro, (HTKJ) and then some obvious and important airport hubs such as (HECA) Cairo's megahub airport which hubs Egypt Airs vast and growing network, Mombassa Moi (HKMO), Addis Ababa's hub for the Star Alliance ethiopian airlines with their 5 new dreamliners.

 

Included with this, just outside africa is the evergrowing desert metropolis Doha in Qatar, come on people!!! Where are all these scenerys!

 

Get your game on payware, you'll make a killing if say you just made Cairo, or Dar Es Salaam or anything in Sub-Sahara, the markets there and open to be taken! HURRY UP!

 

Everything revolves around money. Based on availability one would assume that there is more demand elsewhere. As much as I would love Africa, my priority is quality and that is why I stay with ORBX exclusively. Maybe they will do Africa someday but for now what they offer is outstanding.

I am simply dreaming of a good high-quality rendition of Ghana. If I could fly from Takoradi to Kumasi to Tamale and back to Accra in scenery like what Holger Sandmann used to produce, I would be in FS heaven...

I have installed some African scenery this week as it happens.

 

From the library here I found FZAA Kinshasa and HAAB Addis Abeba. Maybe not up to payware standards and the AFCADS need a bit of tweaking but a vast improvement on the stock airports.

 

I have also got FACT Cape town and FAJS Johannesburg from NMG....they are freeware downloads in the library here too (used to be payware).

 

HKJK Nairobi is a good payware scenery.

 

I also have DAAG Algiers;DGSI Kumasi -Ghana;HLLTTripoli-Libya; FYWH Windhoek;GOOY Dakar; HSSS khartoum.

 

I echo the sentiments that it would be nice to see some new top notch quality African scenery. I would like to see Luxor.

Lack of ground aids make flying there interesting and less predictable than in Europe or N.America. Often enjoy a flight to lesser known places in Africa.

 

I have recently bought the BBS A330 and have been flying some "Brussels Airlines" A330 flights from Brussels to West Africa.   Interesting, less well known destinations like Niamey, Lome, Cotonou, etc.  :smile:

Great Algiers City and airport sceneries here:

Hi,

 

these are very interesting destinations. But will they also be compatible with our FS2004 or only with FSX?

 

A rendition of HKMO for FS2004 in good quality would be nice...

Ah crap, I didn't notice the forum name.

 

Let me get it working for FSX and I'll see how to work it into FS2004 if there's enough interest. I'm only using stock objects, so maybe that'll make the transition easier.

 

My apologies for the oversight.

HKMO now available via Albysim...

Have a look at the Aeroworx freeware scenery & mesh for South Africa... Great stuff from a great bunch of guys.
