Great captures, Daube! Is that Corsica, by any chance? I think I recognized the east coast with the Solenzara air base. What scenery is this? The houses look pretty, just as I remember them!


Cheers,

Thanks for the nice comment, Mark

And good catch for the location, some of these shots are indeed in Corsica (the rest are in the French Alps).
You recognized the Solenzara airbase. The village with the fireworks is Corte, in the center of the island.

In these shots, I'm using the following sceneries / addons:
- FranceVFR PhotoHD (photorealistic scenery with no autogen) Corsica - payware
- VogelFactory autogen for Corsica - Freeware (brings in a beautiful autogen for houses and trees)
- Pack VFR Global Corse - Freeware (brings the main airports on the island and several famous landmarks)
- ZARA X - Freeware (the Solenzara airbase scenery)
- TomatoShade - Freeware (for the colors of the simulator)
- The semi-transparent trees for photorealistic sceneries by Aimé Leclerc - Freeware (brings in new autogen tree textures that are a bit transparent, so they blend more with the forest textures underneath)
 
Thanks for taking your time to answer in such detail, Daube! I've been to Corsica (love it) and think that the scenery looks just how I remember it in real life. I'll take the advice and modify my Corsica scenery to your specs.



Cheers,
Mark
 
I recommend you this website, where I downloaded most of the freeware part:
http://www.f-bmpl.com/index.php/corse
The autogen is the second to last line, by Vogel69 and JPP.
Autogen is basically a big set of "*.AGN" files to be placed into a "texture" folder inside your photoscenery main folder (it will then contain a "scenery" and a "texture" folders).
But in order to work/appear properly, it will probably need the "Autogen Global X" from FranceVFR, a freeware utility that modifies the autogen definitions: https://www.francevfr.com/agx.htm
This WILL interfere with OrbX, unless you perform the "migration" tool in the FTX Central v3.
 
An evening with an old friend and Orcas... thanks Andy, I'm really looking forward to the upcoming tap dance on the rudder bar...

If you could see her slide sideways in front of the trees, on short final, with the grass slipping by in a slight blur below, your heart would stop- mine did, for a moment, and I was back with the smell of dope and silk all around. Some golden light for the GAS Stearman... 3 circuits and bumps around the patch and already I'm liking the way she slips to lose altitude. There was another version a decade or so ago (Dave Eckert's) that flew this way... just like a Bozendorfer- Mr. Otis would approve!

...and here we are offloading, and re-loading in preparation for a flight down to Cali-forn-aye-a... I figured I might as well actually SEE some of the remainder of my Orbx world...
