GSL Mediterranean Ports - Part I released!

Good morning,
This was another one that I want to give credit to Dombal for starting. There are some limitations here, because CFS2's landclass doesn't represent the harbor entrances to the lakes correctly, so I had to improvise. You wouldn't really catch it unless you looked at Google Earth like I did.
This is the Port for Tunis, known as the town of La Goulette, and a cityscape for the city of Tunis itself.

Before too long CFS2 is going to look better on the ground than FS2004 or FSX with all the great work you scenery guys are doing!
Good morning,
Here are the promised pics of Bejaia. Please note that Shadow Wolf 07 pointed out that my trees were too neat and orderly around the pier. I guess that was expected when you hire Jewish architects from Del Boca Vista.

Good morning,
Palermo is getting close...my biggest dilemma is deciding what to do regarding the "upper" harbor and breakwater. The land class and shorelines simply don't match. I was able to represent the "lower" harbor pretty accurately, though it's not finished yet.
If you look at Palermo in Google Earth you'll see why I'm a little stuck.
Hope this is some help.
Devildog73,
I hope you don't mind, but the last whistle stop on my MTO scenery revamp tour before I continue building some new ports is Trieste, Italy. You used this in the "Destroyer Attack" mission of the Tuskegee campaign. (It's in Part IV) Using Google Earth's "time machine," I have satellite photographs of the harbor at that time. I kept your fortress and redid the oil refinery, but the biggest change so far is that I revamped the "upper" harbor to reflect the 1943 era, including the rail yard.
I'll continue around the "horn" of Trieste and do the lower harbor as well...and then create a cityscape before I turn it into GSL. There's still a little work to do on the French Riviera, but after that it should all be finished, as far as Tuskegee is concerned.
Here are some screenshots thus far...
looking really REALLY great.
can't wait to get back in the MTO!
