Nils relased Kasane airport scenery!

Hi,

Our SOH friend, Nils, has just relased reworked scenery of the Kasane aerodrome in Botswana, Africa.
I think that this is some fantastic freeware scenery. First of all, because of the location. Secound, because it is FSX native. Third, because we should support our colleague.
Nils did fantastic job. I must tell you that he learnt by himself how to model in the freeware Wings3D. Then he learnt how to uv map and export to the Gmax. This is the best part: he figured out the FSX materials and created bump and specular maps for the objects. It does not happen so often when the person puts all those goodies in his first "true" scenery, does it ?
So, Nils, my hats off to you and keep up the great work. I hope to see some more of your projects in the future:applause::applause::applause:

[FONT=verdana, sans-serif] [/FONT] [FONT=verdana, sans-serif] File Description:
Elevation fix, corrected airport layout, scenery enhancements and GA AI traffic. New in Version 2: I try to learn modeling and FSX Materials to build my own airport buildings. I hope it's acceptable for the first try. Furthermore, heading of the windsocks has been corrected, tower view has been corrected, minor improvements to the scenery and i made a freeway traffic exclude for the airport area. [/FONT]

Lucas :redface: ..i still have a lot to learn but thanks for your kind words and especially for your help!

Thanks for the kind words guys! I hope everything is working properly.
And i hope that there will be someday a photo scenery for this area...
 
Very nice Nils! :applause: It's a great place to start a flight up the Zambezi River to Victoria Falls! Good work! :ernae:
 
Just installed it. Got real weather and went there.
Great Job Nils. The ambient sounds are great too.
 
The scenery looks awesome with additional road/river pack from Aeroworx (availble on Avsim, search for Aeroworx under FSX scenery). There are three packs which will upgrade your South Africa with more accurate roads, rivers and landcass. There is also 76 meter mesh for that part of the continent.
 
Thanks guys! Hannes (Aeroworx) is so kind to update his roads so that everything will work together and i will make an update which removes the road traffic exclusion and which will add road traffic to the airport.

For those who have the CS C-130:
