MSFS Prague (City), Czech Republic Scenery

A complete replacement using newer (and more detailed) photogrammetric data covering the entire city of Prague, Czech Republic for the Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020 release.

This replacement scenery mod brings Prague in the Czech Republic up to LOD20 (level of detail).  LOD is a term used for, essentially the zoom amount (and detail) of satellite imagery.  The higher the LOD, the higher the texture detail and resolution for the tile requested.

This pack, developed by steveli covers the entire city of Prague both with photorealistic ground textures along with 3D modeling of buildings in the city along with those textures applied to the buildings and objects.

This mod is exclusively for Microsoft Flight Simulator and is completely free to download and use.

The developer has also post-produced the sourced texture files to improve color, add color corrections, and even optimized the textures to better loading speeds on even mid-range machines.  You don't need a behemoth of a PC in order to run this mod.

Prague is a fun place to fly into and from in Microsoft Flight Simulator and also a good place to start your European flights.  Many commercial and cargo routes fly into the area, so why not simulate some of those?  Perhaps a flight from Prague Václav Havel Airport (LKPR) to a German airport such as Düsseldorf Airport (EDDL) with a cargo load will be realistic and true-to-life.

This is the latest version (v4) and this version the developer has stated, brings;

Extended to the west of Prague to fill up the gap between Prague Ruzyne International Airport (LKPR) and center of Prague

All Packs, One File

The freeware release available from Fly Away Simulation includes all packs needed to experience the whole scenery area of Prague.  Some other sites that list this file release it in parts.  The one you download from here will include all parts (1-5) and is a complete, single download pack with no need to source or search for additional files or releases.  It's a complete package with a single download.  The developer originally released this scenery in 5 parts - they are all included.

This is a very large download and while it's easy to download (all in one pack), we recommend a download manager should your connection get interrupted.
