Fly! II: sceneries |
Enhancements of grounds description
All the simulators are delivered with two types of ground representation:
- a very detailled one, often photo realistic, reserved to big town and
several location of reference more often than not located in USA.
- an other type for the rest of the world (99.9 %) using what we call generic textures (towns, countries, mountains, desert, sea...).
Several virtual pilots, "forgotten" of type 1, unsatisfied with the generic textures, pull up their sleeves, work hard and create a region (often theirs) or several if they have the courage, with realistic textures either taken from satellite photos and enhanced with software as numerous as complex, or fully "hand made".
Here are a few of them.
