I usually just lurk here, so please forgive me for posting about my WE HAVE HIPPOS project, which was just released in version 2. (Freeware) I looked if there is a rule against posting one's own freeware content, but I did not find it (or overlooked it). DOWNLOAD FOR FREE on flightsim.to It could be interesting for Bushpilots, animal spotters, Seaplane Users, Africa fans....and similar) It's just one folder for installation in the community folder, so easy to use. The features : - 41 airstrips in an around Malawi, all with drk & cold starting spots. - 40 static Animal POI - wandering elephants in four National Parks - 16 seaplane starting spots (Dock Paring for starting dark & cold) - boats on Lake Malawi More details ato be found on the download page on flightsim.to Documentation included in the download. The idea behind this is immersion, not so much 100% true to life buildings or such things. Malawi was so empty, I decided to fill it with more life for the bushflying afficionados. So if you enjoy bushflying in Africa, watching animals, want to take your seaplane dark & cold for a ride...maybe give this a try..it's free.

Hey guys, uploaded 30+ Challenging Airstrips for Lesotho Africa. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/36088-lesotho-airstrips/ Have fun and happy landings Alex

Hello everyone! I am working on a photo scenery for Africa for 2.5 years now. Sounds megalomaniac? It is. In the meantime, the project is already well progressed, and many people told me to do some advertising for it. First of all the little story behind the project: After I bought the FSL bus, I noticed how bad the performance of the FSL bus was together with ORBX Germany. So I was searching for a solution, and I found it in Photosceneries. Since I didn't want to fly without autogen, I used my experience from my geography studies and programmed Python scripts based on arcpy. These are able to generate high-precision autogen for the sim based on OSM and Corine data sets, as well as water data, elevation data, population data, etc. and with the help of ScenProc. After Germany was finished, I created Belgium. Although the data for these countries was very good, I started writing Python scripts in parallel, which can also create autogen based on Landsat and Sentinel data, in regions where OSM data is hardly available - like Africa. And so, since Africa is a dark spot in the sim, I started to create african countries about 1 year ago. It took again more than 6 months, until my scripts - and the results - were good enough to post the first pictures. And yes, what can I say, the feedback was excellent! And while I'm still improving my scripts piece by piece, I've been releasing a country every now and then since half a year. At the moment approx. 30 % Africas are covered. Here's a small list of the features I've put a lot of effort on: - Good photo scenery with 2 m/px without strong visible color transitions and without many clouds - Accurate Water- (based on OSM) and Blendmasks - Color adjustments so that desert areas are not overexposed - Accurate autogen vegetation (based on vegetation classifications and land cover data), spatial resolution less than 10 m - Accurate autogen buildings (method introduced with Senegal), placement based on OSM and high resolution land cover data - Small file size (I expect to get whole Africa in less than 700 GB) - No performance impacts But I think I've written enough for now, so some pictures: More Information about my project you can find here: Project Africa - FSDeveloper.com and here: Project Africa - FSXforum.de Have a nice wekend everybody and kind regards!
