FSX/P3D Albania Complete Photoreal Scenery

Albania comes alive with complete photoreal coverage at 2 m per pixel, refreshed landclass, accurate city placement, and distinct urban, industrial, mountain, and coastal regions. Designed for FSX, FSX: Steam Edition, and Prepar3D v4, it adds watermasking and blendmasking plus detailed Tirana landmarks, and requires a quality terrain mesh.

As far as nations go, the volatile but beautiful nation of Albania may be among the most interesting to visit. Users of FSX, FSX: Steam Edition and Prepar3D (including version 4) can now enjoy a flight across Albanian territory like never before.

Delivered in rich and attentive detail, you can now fly over this stunning part of Eastern Europe and see it like never before.

Using the scenery in P3Dv4.​Few trips can be quite as enjoyable as a flight over using this scenery add-on. The rich diversity in its landclass, terrain and building styles makes it a very interesting nation to peer over.

This add-on looks to have much-needed detail and precision to the nation, ensuring that it finally stands out from its neighbors.

Previously, other key Southern European nations such as Montenegro and Kosovo would just blend into the Albanian territory. Users of this add-on will see a wholesale change to the whole nation, with vast changes covering a whopping 28,748 square kilometers of land space.

Using impressive 2m/pixel resolution scenery, too, this covers the whole of the country and makes it look much more alive than beforehand.

What’s new?

  • A fresh take on the whole region of Albania, with serious work having gone into creating key parts of the country in close detail.
  • The 2m/pixel scenery covers the entirety of Albanian soil, offering a much more realistic and detailed look to the whole nation.
  • Watermasking and blendmasking used to help make sure the whole landscape looks much more realistic, matching up with the water accordingly.
  • Major cities such as the capital of Tirana are included, with major landmarks within the capital city brought to life.
  • Industrial heartlands and commercial hotspots now stand out from one another, making it easy to see where you fly as you move across the terrain.
  • New and improved changes to the overall landscape, improving everything from mountain regions and locations to the flatlands available.
  • Attention to detail paid on the placement and location of all cities and locations, making the whole region feel much more realistic and in scale with the nation.

Tested with FSX, FSX: Steam Editon and Prepar3D v4. This is a very large file download.

Note: This scenery would work best with a high-quality mesh texture package. We recommend FreeMeshX Global (FreeMeshX-Global-2.0.zip) which you can download here.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.
  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.

    Please can you tell me where I have to put the Area.bgl files? I only know that AFCAD .bgl files go into Addon Scenery/scenery. Thanks a lot.
