Must say that I'm very happy with the current freeware. I don't know if a payware region would enhance the sim that much. Maybe the business plan from Orbx sort of reflects that? Our reluctance. ^_^

 

Still, nice thing to be able to explore Norway for that little money. Big thumbs up. This actually made me jump to a lot of northern regions offering some freeware. Faroe Islands and Greenland come to my mind. Pretty interesting stuff for all kind of planes and flying styles. :smile:

 

You don't know Norwegian geography then I guess . There is still a huge job to be done to complete the freeware scenery. We have:

• Good mesh (that is getting even better);
• Quite a few good airports (although not payware quality, but certainly most rival FTX Region airports);
• Some very good vectors for parts of the country (coastlines, lakes and skerries).

 

But we are missing:

• Roads;
• Custom autogen (Just a few bridges and landmarks around airports currently);
• Custom landclass and landclass textures;
• Realistic AI;
• Several airports and airstrips.

It's not bad, but still far from a full ORBX region in terms of accuracy and detail. But using FTX Global and Vectors as base, I think the freeware scene will get it there given time.

Ha, good point. Forgot to add that UTX Europe forms the basis of the installation while FS Global should deliver some mesh. Payware modules. Then the freeware sets in. :blush:

 

When the Orbx region is ready, it might indeed be a sure shot but won't be able to enhance the picture as much as e.g. their Australian regions over existing stuff did. So that's where I could envision a loss of 'I have to get this' drive.

UTX vectores aren't that bad, but UTX landclass is way off! It will be interesting to see how it compares to FTX Global Vector.

 

I don't use payware mesh for Norway since the freeware version is very good.

I also like the UTX version of that area. I goggled and it's very close. I use the cloud 9 LC  for that area sandwiched between UTX LC entries.

Where does "enbo_ensh_161013" go on the scenery library?

Same level as Airports and/or Airstrips of Norway - on top of Mesh and NSXII

BTW, several airports and Norwegian aircraft repaints found here: http://www.polystack.com/Sceneries.html

Amazing Scenery! I can't believe it's free.

 

Is anyone using Aerosoft's ENVA?

 

I was wondering if I had to remove any ENVA files from the Norway Airports or any other area.

 

I see some areas around the airport that are not properly elevated.

 

Thanks.

Hey thanks for this headsup....d/ling now and will check these out in conjunction with the AoN packages.

I'm really enjoying Norway. The airports just work so well and have the right amount of detail, and don't cause performance issues. In fact the whole of Norway flies like a dream.

Yes.  You will have to remove the ENVA stuff in the AoN scenery.

What stuff? I see only enva_ground in the AoN Scenery. Thanks.

I also have an issue with FSDT Bergen. There's another airport underneath. If anyone can help with this airport, I thank you in ADVANCE.

 

Those are the only two payware airports that I have.

Sorry, I'm in the middle of a flight right now so I can't check exactly which files.  If you go to your FSX directory in Windows Explorer and then just search for enva, it will give you all the hits that have enva.  I believe there are only 1 or 2 files total that you need to remove.  Once I finish my current flight, I'll try to tell you exactly.

 

And, I don't have FSDT Bergen so I can't comment on that one really.  But, I'd imagine you can do the same thing for it.

That was the first thing I did before I asked for help.

 

Thanks. I'll keep trying.

Do you use UTX?  I get some weird elevation stuff there too that I think may be related to the use of UTX and/or the Norway mesh.  There supposedly was a fix from Aerosoft for what I'm seeing.  However, after installing that fix, it still isn't fixed for me.  Or, maybe I have done something wrong myself.  I actually get a small "hill" running through the taxiway and runway.  So, maybe that's what you're seeing too?

 

If anyone knows a fix for this, I'd be interested too.

 

As far as I know though, we have removed all we need to remove for ENVA as far as AoN files are concerned.  But, maybe I'm in fact missing something else I need to remove too.
