| The Pyrenees - general organization |
by Azzurro (ROTW)
The aim of this recapitulative page is to list and class all about this Pyrenean region.
The Pyrenean region joins France and Spain, and includes the Principality
of Andorra.
The mountainous chain extends over 430 kilometers and reaches 3,404 meters
(Peak of Aneto). It goes, practically in straight lines, from the Atlantic
Ocean (Bay of Biscay) in the West, to the Mediterranean Sea (Gulf of Lions)
in the East.
Thus it's a chain both less large and lower than the Alps, however passes
are higher.
Let's examine the map of the whole region; the globe tiles numbering allow to find the way. The "photorealistic" cover extends over five globe tiles, all at the level "161".

The table below allows to find all about a fixed globe tile, by giving every time a link towards the concerned page (2D sceneries or airports).

The "photorealistic" cover is a ROTW members teamwork:
- the basic colorization and the corresponding tutorial are supplied by
our "expert" TJ.
- Gilles "Drone" takes charge of drawing details: rivers, cities,
railroads, night textures... and follows up the project.
- finally Beralex supplies the corrected "SRTM" elevations which
express marvellously the relief of this very hilly region.
At the moment (November, 2005), there are only two airports modelled for this region, but this page will be updated according to the new 3D sceneries realization.
SRTM elevationsThe area covered by the elevations extends, in Y-coordinate, on globe tiles "161 and 162". When all the "161" 2D sceneries will be realized, it will only remain the "162" in the PYRE_SRTM directory (refer to the NOTE below).
NOTE: We shall never repeat it enough, it's necessary to read the explanatory files accompanying the 2D Pyrenean sceneries. You must remove the elevations files concerning each globe tile (or half globe tile) from the "PYRE_SRTM" folder located in the Fly! directory "...\scenery" (remove the *.pod files and also the corresponding *.scf files).
