Norway Pro (Work in Progress)

[tonywob]

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:

The houses look neat, looking forward to this one.

Fantastic! I've been hoping for something like this since 95% of my simming is done in Norway:-)

Very good Tony, fantastic work.  Good luck with it  

[Morrigan]

Looking foward to see it released! ) Thankyou!

Which photoscenery are you referring to here Tony?

[tonywob]

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

Is it compatible with Orbx Norway?

[Poppet]

Steve Orbtx is only Genuinely compatible with FSX or P3D  

[tonywob]

Is it compatible with Orbx Norway?

 

This is for X-Plane only.

[Guest JustanotherPilot]

Sorry guys, wrong forum for Orbx. I also use X-plane

[alpilotx]

Looks like - again - some very good work Tony!

[Longranger]

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.

Excellent! I love to fly there. How long will it take until we can try?
