Project Africa

Beitrag von MatthiasKNU »

Hello everyone!

I already started a big project 3 years ago, and created a large part of Africa as a photo scenery with a resolution of 4 m/px.

Meanwhile I have written scripts to create autogen based on landcover data.
I also created a new photo scenery that has almost no color transitions and a resolution of < 2 m/px. In some areas, the ground resolution is even higher, up to 50 cm/px.
This quite high resolution (please consider it is a whole continent, so a higher resolution would be very problematic) is mostly also sufficient for VFR-Flying.

And here is a comparison to openLC Africa:
Comparison to openLC Africa

All my sceneries are fully compatible to P3Dv5

General recommendation:
Open your prepar3d.cfg (%AppData%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4), search for the entry AUTOGEN_BATCH_LOD and set it to 1. This will show you significantly more autogen buildings!

To give you all an overview of the project, I have created a kmz file here, which can be opened with Google Earth.
In this kmz file you find six categories:
Bild
  • Under 'Airports - Freeware' you can find useful sceneries for freeware airports across Africa.
  • Under 'Airports - Payware' - who would have thought it - you can find the good payware airports for Africa.
  • In the category 'Airports with high resolution ground' you can see the airports which got high resolution ground textures from me, but for this one scenery exists (see the two categories above), so it was not necessary to do it by hand.
  • In the next category 'Enhanced Airports' you can find the airports, which have received a high-resolution ground and new AFCAD from me
  • Under 'Detailed Areas' you will find the areas that are not airports, but have nevertheless been given high-resolution textures - for example the Spitzkoppe in Namibia
  • And last but not least, in the category 'Regions' you will find an overview of the countries in Africa that I have created or am creating
OUTDATED! Download Overview .kmz (to open with Google Earth)

Here are some preview pictures:

Important: If you have any questions about getting the sceneries, please contact me here or at FSDevelopers via private message!

Please also read the manual on how to install my sceneries!
Please read the updated installation instructions!

The Patch is available from now on!

Walvis Bay does not require any Patch, as it is compatible as it is!
