FSX/P3D North Macedonia Complete Photoreal Scenery

North Macedonia gets a full-country photoreal overhaul, replacing the default emptiness with 1 m/pixel ground imagery, refined rivers, valleys, and mountainous terrain, plus watermasked border lakes for smoother blending. Built for FSX, FSX: Steam Edition, and Prepar3D v4, it includes roughly 25 GB of coverage across 25,000+ km² and requires quality terrain mesh for best results.

A trip to the European nation of North Macedonia is one laced with history and learning. However, for users of FSX, FSX: Steam Edition, and Prepar3D, the country looks and feels empty.

Using the North Macedonia photoreal add-on in P3Dv4.The lack of detail across the nation is a big problem, creating a bland and empty-looking country. However, this add-on looks to change all of that.

Now, a flight over this country using the scenery shows the hugely important country to European economics and culture that truly exists.

Flying here can be quite dull normally, but now the country comes to life. The whole of the region is changed entirely, with the whole of North Macedonia made to look much more detailed.

While the nation is still under many political discussions – even as far as a dispute over the nations name itself – it’s a tremendous place to come and visit. Trips to the capital city of Skopje can be a huge amount of fun, especially as this add-on uses 1m/pixel scenery to make the North Macedonian capital stand out properly.

With over 2m inhabitants, this is a busy and popular nation that you should definitely look to take the time to fly over.

Over 25 GB of new scenery is included across the board, changing a huge amount of the country and its 25,713km2 of landmass. If you are looking to make the rest of Eastern Europe come to life as it should, add-ons like will help to do just that.

What’s new?

  • A fresh take on the 25,000+ square kilometers of North Macedonia, using 1m/pixel resolution depth across the whole country.
  • 25 GB of changes and additions are included, and this add-on is fully compatible with add-ons such as AFCAD v1 and beyond.
  • Changes to the wider geography of the nation have taken place, with lots of small yet important changes to mountains, ground layout, and its rivers and valleys.
  • Watermasking included on the large lakes on the border of the nation to ensure that they will blend better with other Eastern European scenery packages.
  • The concentration of detail on the ground below recreates everything from farming agricultural land to major cities, towns, and places to stop off.
  • Improved visual detail across the whole nation without detrimentally impacting upon performance.

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.

    That post is intentionally deceptive. Change that name to the legally correct North Macedonia (former FYROM, or Skopje).

    Please change its name immediately.
