That area looks much better using the New World Landclass package referenced here: http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...d=399020&page=6Here's a screengrab showing how the package improves the look of the area around Bergen.http://i8.tinypic.com/6at5zbo.jpg

Check your PM please Steve

Hi guys,maybe the FSX version of Norway Scenic takes care of the desert?http://www.flightsim.no/file/FSX/Scenery/Europa/Norge/I'm downloading right now to check it out.Cheers, Holger

Hi guys,now we're talking ;-)Nice job with the Norway Scenic project! I'd prefer having flattened lakes but at least the deserts are gone and we have many more lakes and rivers.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/172143.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/172144.jpgThe difference in fps between the two images is due to water effects setting (Low 1.x vs. Mid 2.x). I actually prefer Low 1.x for most situations because it doesn't give the water that tropical blue tinge. Also, I usually keep my fps locked at 20 given my elderly system. I was just curious about performance in this region.Cheers, HolgerAMD 64 3500+ (~2.2GHz), 2048MB RAM, ATI RADEON X800 PRO, XPSP2

Thanks for that link, Holger. Norway Scenic is a big improvement over the New World package I mentioned above. Here's a screengrab from the same general area using the Norway Scenic package.http://i2.tinypic.com/675l99s.jpgThis one's a keeper.

FS-X Global Warming edition :(

I have the same symptoms and believe that there is also a regression bug with the textures causing blurries. The 2nd core on my system goes up to 100% utilization and then just says there. From that moment onwards I get blurries.ACES haven't commented yet but would be nice to hear what they have to say.JCMK

Wow, that looks a lot better indeed. Thx for the tip, Holger! I will install them this evening: I am VERY curious what will happen with my fps though...

Thanks Holger for the link! Much better!RegardsBertwww.worldoffs.com

Could someone explain to me how to install this scenery files? I cannot open de doc that comes with it. I could at work but here I can't somehow. Jeg ikke snakker norsk bra, but that's not the problem. ;)

Hi there,very simple: * place the Norway_Scenic_X folder in Addon Scenery or wherever you keep your scenery/landscape add-ons* start FSX and add the two folders that are inside of Norway_Scenic_X -- Norway_Scenic_X and Norway_Scenic_X_Exclude -- to your FSX scenery library menu* make sure that the _Exclude entry is at lower display priority, i.e., below the Norway_Scenic_X entry* if you also have the FS9 Norway Elements mesh package from the same site then you can add that to the scenery library as well (if you have FSGlobal or FSGenesis files for that area you don't need the mesh)* have fun!Cheers, HolgerP.S.: given that the lakes aren't flatten you'll notice a lot of rocky areas around the shorelines. That's the FSX approach to prevent water bodies on slopes showing as water. If you prefer the FS9 method (i.e., water stays water) then you should install the modified terrain.cfg file: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID...scen&DLID=93289P.P.S.: keep an eye our for Lennart Arvidsson's Scandinavian ground textures and small airports to be released soon: http://www.flightsim.no/home/textureart/

But Ryan, I've been doing this long enough to realize that 22 FPS in THE SPOT VIEW in a Cessna translates to probably less than 20 in the VC, in a nothing aircraft in the middle of nowhere. Good grief, how and why does this excite you?........Like Holger says, it's sad really.http://www.my-buddy-icon.com/Icons/objects/red_3d_plane.gifAlex ChristoffN562ZBaltimore, MD
