March 6, 20233 yr A very well deserved Congratulations to PuffinFlight! We Love VFR just went GLOBAL! Quote Posted by PuffinFlight, Hey @everyone! I said it will be available on weekend... barely. Region 3 Beta is here » https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dqZTIbWVqyMgV8SbHPo1Rm1zAyZoopUl/view?usp=sharing Please leave any feedback in 🚀-region-3-beta-feedback and data corrections in 🌏-region-3 Please do share your screenshots and link to the add-on wherever you want to, but don't reupload the add-on anywhere. I will upload it on popular add-on websites after open beta period is over. It will help to gather feedback just in one place. Hope you'll like it. And I know the data for Region 3 is far from perfect, but I did everything I could to make it as good as possible. I hope to release some tutorials on how to edit OpenStreetMap data to help with objects in MSFS soon. Have fun! We've just went GLOBAL. Yay!
March 6, 20233 yr Is it actually available for download? If so, can you supply a link for download? Thanks

March 6, 20233 yr Yup, it's here » https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dqZTIbWVqyMgV8SbHPo1Rm1zAyZoopUl/view?usp=sharing I didn't upload it to any add-on site as it is an open beta and I had no time to properly test it. I think in a week or two there will be a normal release. If you have any issues or suggestions just drop a feedback at my discord » https://discord.gg/mVqJ6qXac9
March 6, 20233 yr Thanks Puffin (and Waldo for posting). Really looking forward to downloading this one later as I've been flying in Australia and New Zealand lately. The NZ update is excellent and welovevfr 3 is sure to add that bit extra. Can you suggest any highlights your mod will add to AU and NZ to keep an eye out for?

While testing I usually visit very random places so can't pinpoint any specifics. Perth refinery might be quite cool, but after next update as I will tweak data for it. There is also a refinery at -38.2272, 147.1697 which I have to check out as it may have nice flaming stacks. Oh I know. Latrobe Valley Airport YLTV might be interesting as it has 2 big power plants on either side. And Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt -21.8213, 114.1663 have some tall transmitters. This region also includes the tallest smokestack in the World. Gres-2 located in Kazakhstan 52.0221, 75.4759 17 minutes ago, Paul K said: What does Puffin actually do ? Currently unemployed, working on MSFS add-ons instead of something reasonable... oh, you meant what my add-ons do. Right. They add hundred thousands of mobile, tv, and radio towers and masts, smoke stacks, sat dishes and radio telescopes, radar domes, cooling towers, mountain peak and other large crosses and construction cranes. It's basically extended autogen without using autogen SDK as it is not available. Data for these objects is mainly taken from OpenStreetMaps, but also various other sources like AIPs, wiki, and other national sources. Adding to that thousands of tall objects, dishes, radar domes and cooling towers are manually verified.
March 6, 20233 yr I've said this before and I'll say it again, if ever there was a mod that should be made default in the Sim then it's this one, as long as Puffin gets compensated with credits for all his hard work of course!

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

I tried, but it went nowhere. Even before talks about any compensation. Maybe I should try again having global coverage now. 9 minutes ago, bobcat999 said: I have a region 2 DVD player - can I still use this? You can. Unless, you're from New Zealand, then no. It's not a real country anyway 😛
