Post-Apocalypse Scenery

I found an 'interesting' add-on from www,avsimsu.com, that is supposed to show post-apocolypse scenery.
This mod immerses you in the atmosphere of the post-apocalypse, you need to install it on a naked sim without third-party mods, but you can also use them, only the left scenes will look like oases. All phototerrains are based on real ruins, most of the buildings are bombed.

I thought that I'd give it a try. It does say that it has to be installed in FS2004 that has no mods (additional added scenery), & I did a 'clean' FS2004 install.
It did not change the scenery at all.

Maybe someone out there is willing to give it a try?
Note that the included 'OceanHeightField.bmp did cause the sim to freeze, so I replaced it with one from a working sim.

, thanks for your tip. Will give a try asap. Let's see how the world would or could look s like. Once a project for which no one probably has an experience and is open for any imagination...

Sure, could be interesting, tho'.
Would need a suitable aircraft/vehicle.
We already have 'Space' scenery, so why not a 'Mad Max' scenery to compliment the theme?

Could be fun, Bernard. Thanks for giving it a try. After installing it, no scenery change, apart from the colors a bit brown.
If you do try, remember to replace that OceanHeightField.bmp which caused the sim to hang,
 
Well, my world is still the same. No difference, not better and not really worse, but as we know it!

That's what I found as well.
Such a pity.. it could have been interesting.
It does give a slightly different tint to the scenery, but nothing else.
:banghead:
 
Just an excerpt from the accompanying text of the download.
"All photo terrains are based on real ruins; most buildings have been bombed."
To find something like that appealing, I think you have to be pretty callous, especially in these times.
That's my personal opinion.
 
No, not really!
Firstly, it is just a game. -nothing gets blown up like in Combat sims.
Secondly, it's just scenery (if it works) that could be interesting to devise a 'story' about it.
 
Once the scenery in "installed", look for a bat file or some such buried in t he folder which actually swaps out the files. Just a guess.
 
Nope, nothing there.
Just Scenery\World\Texture files & a Texture folder.
Also stars.dat & suneffect.cfg & an Effects folder.
As I said earlier, the included 'OceanHeightField.bmp did cause the sim to freeze, so I replaced it with one from a working sim.

Just BTW, re the bat files to change things..
The best way that I've seen is with "TerraBuilder Moon" that has a Config panel to choose between the Moon scenery & FS2004 scenery.
It installs AircraftTB, AutogenTB, SceneryTB, TextureTB, UiresTB & WeatherTB
The TerraBuilder Moon config panel switches between S2004 folders to the above ****TB folders seamlessly, almost like having a sim within a sim.
