Hi all,

The EF-2000 (from DiD, in 1995) nostalgia hit me again, so I started FSX and went for a Norway exploration flight... and immediately recognized the area was in desperate need of a mesh and possibly something else.

I searched on the Internet and found a topic explaining the "freeware essentials" for this region of the globe:
http://translate.google.fr/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fforums1.avsim.net%2Flofivers...
(translated automatically in English by Google Translation)

So I had finally a good landclass, a good mesh, and a pack of airports that was upgrading the major airports, civilian and military.... and that made a difference  Cool

In those shots, I was just exploring the extreme north, headed to Russia, Murmansk more precisely.
The southern/western part of Norway is full of small airfields surrounded by mountains and water, the landscape is really beautiful. It seems that I'm going to spend a lot of time there Smiley

Thanks for the tips about the downloads .......... great shots.

Is that Hunter an upgrade from the FS9 version ....... or just ported straight across?

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

It's a real upgrade in real native FSX SP2 format Smiley
It's the same guy that made the FS9 version: Dave Garwood
He has updated both his single and double-seat Hunters, and he added quite a lot of new details in the virtual cockpits. They are really great, downloading them is definitely recommended  Cool
