Mountains And Tropical Land Class

While snooping around at Flightsim.com I came across Aimé Leclercq's mountain and tropical land class textures for FSX. These look very impressive in the civil sim so I took a few sets and formatted the .bmps to ones CFS2 can render. Did the Rocks so far, plus the 1st set of the Tropical Pak. These look pretty good in the Grandpa sim IMHO. The lighter green in the background is Pactex.
Going to do the complete set later..post some more screenies. Could be a new set in textures to confuse us even further. :icon_lol:

Wow

This fellow's reworking is AMAZING !

DV, have you considered asking if he'd tweak up a set for the CFS2 crowd ?

Might save you a ton of labor if he already has it "in the can".....

Too late, they're already formatted. :icon_lol: Just have to rename the textures. Seriously though, since these are only trees and mountainous terrain I might have to do some custom ones to fill in the rest, or maybe add ones from packages already done SC.

I have to agree with you CrisGer. These are some of the best freeware textures I've seen in a while.

Well miamieagle, I have sent off an e-mail to Aimé Leclercq to see if this conversion is ok by him. Time will tell.

dvslats,
I assume that you will only be reworking the Summer textures as they are all that Aimé has published so far. Or could we possibly hope that you (and / or Aimé) might do the other seasons for those of us who prefer the ETO (or even Russia) ?
regards,
Ro
 
Hi rohan, I did see some fall textures by Aimé at flightsim. I have not downloaded those yet. I am assuming that it is possible he will cover all of the seasons. But that's just a guess.

WOWSERS!!!!!!

I am working that area right now on my 39th FS missions. Pactex with rhumba's scenery is outstanding, but that looks almost real. :jump:

When I was flying though those valleys below losing that Oscar on my six a couple of days ago, I did not really watch the scenery, but went back in FF and just took it all in. I am excitedly awaiting your upload of those textures!

Update

Greetings All, Guess what...Aimé Leclercq (Oscar) has given me the Ok to convert his freeware textures to CFS2 format. :applause:
Now I can proceed on this in earnest. His remake on the intermediate areas are still a work in progress, so the gaps are being filled in right now with some stock FSX textures.
I know it is a real departure from what we are use to seeing in this ol' sim, but they have a way of growing on you. A deeper tone jungle feel if you know what I mean.
Still have to clear up the naming/numbering of the landclass, but fortunately there is Pen's texture guide for a good reference.
A pic to give you an idea what the lower elevations look like. My end is still a WIP also, so it may still change some. :icon_lol:
The PNG Dobo complex.
 
Wow, that shot of the Dobo complex and surrounds looks like a great improvement. Keep up the good work dvslats!
:applause::applause::applause:
 
WooHoo Dave!

Man, if you drink real beer, I am gonna have to send you some home brew to keep you focused!

:ernae::ernae::ernae:

I get home to IL every now and again.
 
Wow!!!!!

Amazing stuff Dvslats!​

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:​

I can't wait to see the final product!

Cheers!
:snowman: KH :ernae:

P.S.: Today first snowfall at low altitudes in the Po Valley. Air Ops. momentarily on hold. We need some tropical stuff to warm up here!....:d
 
Lovely textures. Thank you very much for going ahead with this project, dvslats!
