@everyone 
New version of We Love VFR - Region 2 is available! v. 0.5.1

Few data corrections and many bug fixes this time, so nothing major. Totally reworked exclusion system. Reworked airport detection and verified over 4000 objects near airports for better precision and to avoid sneaky antennas just before the threshold wink

Oh and for those few people with fps issues related to the smoke effects, there is a "no effects" version available.

PS: Region 1 should go to testing this week.

Sounds great. I don't fly in the US much, so mainly use Region 1.

Please can you recap on what to expect in Region 1 update.

Thanks

You can expect basically everything that is in Region 2. So smoke effects, all fixes and upgrades and many cooling towers. About 20 times more than in Region 2. All manually verified, and with the model auto generation system. There will be probably over 100 variants.

Oh, did I mentioned that Region 1 will include not only Europe but also all of Africa and part of the Middle East? Everything between -25 and +52 longitude. 

I've also added AIP data for some countries. For now mostly small countries neglected in OSM. Like Albania, Armenia, Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Slovenia and a dozen more. There will be more with every update.

I think I spoiled all surprises already 😃

Although many of us donate(d), I think Asobo should just hire YOU to release the official update when they add towers to the sim...I mean - you already have like half of the World covered already if not more! I can't believe they left this out of release (well kind of can understand it now) - it's like releasing a flight sim without Cirrus clouds! 😄Oh wait...

Great job, and THANK YOU!

Your additions are wonderful and much appreciated!

With the smoke and stacks it really looks like downtown Milwaukee, WI and the soon to be decommissioned power plant at Sheboygan, WI...aka my local area looks even more real!

I'd have nothing against it. It would be awesome even as part-time job. I hate my job more and more, but there is no way to live from donations. All donations from last year barely reach half of my month salary 😄 Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate every single donation and it's amazing that people decide to donate their hard earned money when they don't have to. I still want to move it forward, but to be honest, sometimes it gets overwhelming. I love to develop it, but it takes time, a lot of time. I've just found obstacle data for South Africa. 41k objects. All needs to be analysed, code needs to be written to parse it etc. And it's just one country. We still have 2 continents to do 😄

Appreciate the work that you do, great packages.

Awesome will download the update later, thanks Puffin 👍🏽
