Thanks for viewing!

Do you have the Horizon Ireland sceneries. They are made from aerial photos rather than satellite images and so are much better looking than the English ones. I recently found a program called ScenProc on fsdeveloper.com and was able, after some experimentation, to add autogen trees and houses to it from OSM data. The data is not complete so not everything is included but the overall effect is excellent for vfr work. I also pulled the road traffic, custom buildings, wind turbines and other goodies from the Orbx Ireland scenery into the photo stuff which really brings it alive. I use George Keoghs vfr Ireland airfields which are available in the library and are really excellent. The overall effect is a stunning VFR Ireland.

Horizon sceneries for Ireland are the best and have unmatched quality....their waterwork is special!

Here are the autogen files if you find them useful. The only thing is that you'll need to combine the East and West packages into one folder and then drop these files into the resulting single Texture folder to use them. I don't know if they would work if just dropped into both texture folders with the packages seperate, you could always try that first. I use that scenery primarily in P3d2 where it just looks much better imo. I highly recommend using the Orbx Ireland objects too if you happen to have them.

I'd love to see some VFR pics of that.  I tried using ScenProc here in the US but the data is really not very available yet.  Europe seems well ahead on that count.

I'll do a flight later once the kids are in bed and post some up then. In fairness the OSM data is patchy everywhere, there are only 96000 houses for the whole island but there are plenty of trees so it works well.

 

You got me thinking about datasets Gregg so I went looking for Corine Land Cover data. I'll experiment with it over thenext few days and see what comes of it.

Scenery looks great!

So with the help of Arno from fsdeveloper.com, I'm making progress on getting the forests from the Corine data into the sim which is why I've not posted screenies yet but I've not forgotten.

I don't have any US photo scenery but surely there must be Land Use data state by state, the US seems to release their datasets freely. If it comes with a .shp shapefile it should work, at least for forested areas.

Great pics HL... But, I would respectfully disagree about Ireland, which is still photo (no Horizon products are satellite) but used a different (motion filmed) capture technique. As a result Ire has terrible inconsistency and banding from higher altitudes and also suffers a nasty green cast - yes, Ire is green, but.... the water masking is very good though.

 

Its my least favourite Horizon package, although their washed-out Scotland is also rather lacking... I'm hoping Darren and Vicky at Earth Simulations will do Scotland proper justice... his Western Isles water masks really are the best.
