October 18, 201510 yr Moderator Norway is a fantastic country for scenery and aviation, but unfortunately the default scenery is somewhat lacking in detail. The data inside OpenStreetMap is minimal and there is quite a lot missing. Therefore, I've started worked on a scenery for Norway which makes use of the following: Country-wide data generated from kartverket vector data. This data includes the following: Full coverage for forest and woodland Full Road and Rail network Most major buildings, e.g. Hospitals, schools, factories Location of industrial, agricultural and residential zones, cities, towns, etc. Treelines in agricultural areas Accurate VFR landmarks such as masts, communication towers, light-houses, windfarms No trees and shrubs all over the airports, yay!!! Autogen-based residential zones using custom Scandinavian-style buildings generated with W2XP European city centres similar in style to Czech/Slovak scenery I did. Other data taken from OpenStreetMap where available (e.g. Tall buildings, obstacles, piers) Here are a couple of early preview shots of the scenery, these are taken around Trøndheim and Bergen: Combined with photoscenery, although it's autogen-based, the outlines of towns/villages and woodland are fairly accurate: The scenery works well without photoscenery, as shown in these shots below:

October 18, 201510 yr Author Moderator There is no decent photoscenery for Norway as far as I know. I generated a few tiles myself, but the default textures actually look better in some areas because of severe discolouration
October 19, 201510 yr Looks like - again - some very good work Tony! Andras Fabian / Alpilotx Visit www.alpilotx.net, a site about X-plane scenery You can see some landscape and other photographs from me here: http://www.flickr.co...s/weathermaker/
October 19, 201510 yr Well, all I can say: Orbx Norway was in trouble against the UHD Mesh, with the addition of Norway Pro, they simply are out of the competition. Well they have bridges and a lot of flying buildings. Karsten Schubert
