France VFR Releases FlightPyrenees (FS2004) - Fly Away Simulation, Flight Simulator #1

France VFR is proud to announce our new photoreal scenery from the FlightSeries collection, FlightPyrenees. The BasePack and AutogenPack are now available and cover the Eastern part of French Pyrenees (about 16 000 km sqr.) with photorealistic textures. Each of the default airport plateforms on the scenery have been reworked in order to closely fit the phototexture with precisely aligned taxiways, buildings, and objects, greatly enhancing these from the standard Flight Simulator 2004.

BASEPACK product - Textures made from aerial photography IGN (National Geographical Institute) and not satellite imagery, are retreated for an optimal visual rendition in Flight Simulator®.
- Ground textures are summer only.
- High resolution (LOD10) custom mesh for the whole region treated.
- Custom autogen for the coastline and major airports (the entire autogen coverage is commercialized in another product package : the AutogenPack).
- Most lakes and rivers have been entirely cut out and reworked with bodies of landable water, including a systematic mesh treatment (LWM: land and water mask) nearby banks in order to avoid sloping water effects.
- 18 airports and helipads are integrated. These airports have been optimized to fit perfectly the photoscenery : precise taxiway and apron positioning, replaced buildings and hangars, windsocks, towers, etc.
- All the airports’ surroundings have been treated in order to remove the ‘cliff’ effect caused by the altitude differences between a precise mesh and the ‘flat’ Flight Simulator runways.
- Precise geo-referenced texture positioning, ensuring a maximal compatibility with scenery add-ons for this region.
- Process development fully conform to the Microsoft SDK, ensuring a maximal compatibility with future versions of Flight Simulator.
- Open BasePack concept, allowing an easy integration of scenery add-ons from other editors.
- Comprehensive maps and flight documentation for all the included airports in PDF format (22 VAC VFR approaches and airport diagrams.)

AUTOGENPACK product - Autogen coverage (Trees, houses, buildings…) over the whole Pyrenees Oriental area (about 16000 km2).
- Specific autogen textures provided for each region of the Pyrenees area.
- Night texture provided for each specific autogen texture.
