The freeware design team at The VFR Addons Database have developed a new technique by which FS2004 autogen objects can be totally customized. They are now creating a new object set that will give scenery a British look. For full details, click on Read More.
We have pleasure in announcing that our freeware design team at The VFR Addons Database web site, formally known as 'The VFR Autogen Project' have discovered a way in which the complete Microsoft autogen engine can be totally customized. This means that we will be redesigning all the existing autogen trees, buildings and other objects in the default autogen library to make them entirely British looking. We will then be using the new library to continue to add the new custom autogen to Visual Flight's VFR Photoscenery: England & Wales series of products.
Not only are we replacing the existing Microsoft autogen models with new British ones, but we are extending the library to include many new British objects. This will mean that you will see cows, sheep and horses grazing in fields, tractors working in fields, scattered hay bales, people in towns or on beaches, birds flying amongst trees, cars, lorries and coaches on the roads, working street lamps at night, fuel garages, train stations, boats and ships, trains and many other objects. The bonus to all this is that because the objects are optimized for our new autogen library, frame rate performance impact will be kept to a minimal. A complete list of objects that we are working on include...
