Hey guys, I thought you might want to know about this one :)
This is freeware of course, the scenery is for FSX SP2 only, it has got a resolution of 2m/pixel, autogen and nightlights, Summer season only. The main airport of the area, KGCN (Grand Canyon Natural Park) has been dramatically improved. It is a stunning scenery, created by Antonio C., and Maurizio G. The photoreal scenery is based on the latest techniques, to ensure a real visual experience in flight. Colorado river has animated water in the parts where it's bigger. Here a quick overview of the area it concerns:

and some quick shots from the area :)

Thanks guys, the devs will certainly appreciate it and FYI, SP2 meaning that it works in Acceleration as well :) I run Acceleration and I took those shots that you see above so there is no dramas

That's sweet! I wish it was for the Acceleration pack too.
Click to expand...

SP2 is part of Acceleration, so it should work fine with acceleration

what is meant is that it isn't for those that for whatever reason, don't have a final build of FSX, and only have SP1 installed.
 
Question JayKae, any idea why we are not dling the actual scenery, but a file that connects to whoknowswhere and supposedly d/ls just the files itself?

I am a bit leary about this process and would love some more info before blindly allowing some unknown executable to install something on my rig.
 
Looks great!:applause:

Quick question,though........will this conflict with Megascenery Las Vegas or can both sceneries be active at the same time?

:ernae:
 
Sure mate, the download helper is something I have been using for a little while, it is an app called GetRightToGo but customised for our purposes at OZx, what it actually does is download a small app to your computer which connects to the main download link but IF your connection drops out or you have another problem of any kind with your connection you can always resume with this app. As files are getting bigger and bigger (next release of OZx will be ~1000MB) we started getting more and more people with support issues about corrupted downloads etc. with this, it will not happen, you will never waste any of your bandwidth. Also the ETO here at Sim-Outhouse has been released using the same software ( http://www.aussiex.org/index/download.php?list.13 ) ... users seem to love it.
 
Thanks for the info JayKae, makes sense, even though I have never had a dropped download before, but I guess I'll give it a shot then
 
Anytime mate, enjoy guys, I have spent two hours this morning flying around it myself and it is something not to miss I reckon, then again... I am biased I suppose :)

Thank you guys for the great reception of this freeware ! You're champions! :applause::applause:
 
Absolutely superb JayKae, brilliant effort.:ernae: It is indeed a stunning visual feast.

Also interesting to see (from the various screenshots) are the differing choices of aircraft folks use to cruise around in. I really like the variety this sim offers. :)
