July 18, 200520 yr I have been an FS nut since it became available on a 5.25" diskette, way back when.Being Maltese, I have always set up the simulator to default at Luqa airport (LMML) and I have Daniel Chircop's airport scenery for FS2004.I check out the main sites on a daily basis, hoping to find some decent scenery for the Maltese islands (MS default is truly awful) but although there seems to be scenery for every country under the sun (including some I have never hear of), Malta has been missed on all versions of FS to date.I have some mesh and landclass installed, and I suppose they do improve matters somewhat, but the general shape of the islands and the textures used are in desperate need of an expert's touch.This site gives a good indication of the textures involved.http://www.mepa.org.mt/Census/Photos/photoslink.htmAny takers out there?

July 18, 200520 yr John,The ISD group (Italian Scenery Design) are currently working on a freeware version of the Maltese Islands: http://www.isdproject.com/Forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1207Judging by their previous work I'm sure their version of LMML will be good.
July 18, 200520 yr Many thanks Jonathan.Looks like Malta will be getting the scenery it deserves.Beautiful work judging from the screenshots.Thanks again for the heads up.Regards, John
July 18, 200520 yr Yes Peter. ThanksI have Daniel Chircop's airport installed.I was really referring to the islands themselves.Cheers, John
July 19, 200520 yr Hi!I have made a Malta scenery which I think really gives the figolla default some shape.It's a Landclass/Terrain scenery.Go to http://www.geocities.com/carmelgrech/fs2k4.htmland have a lookhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/122661.jpg
July 20, 200520 yr Thank you Charles. Excellent work and a great improvement on the default. Just what I was looking for!Now I can get really homesick. I'm off to Malta in September, looking for a house. I will be retiring there in April of next year after 20 years in Switzerland.Are you based in Malta? Maybe we can meet up at some stage.Anyway, thanks again for your reply and for the files.All the best. John
