Yes and my point after something like 30 years in this hobby is that any freeware developer can throw out some 2 or 10 m/pixel photoreal area in their addons. If you are gonna charge money you need to provide that little extra. But again I will most likely purchase Lukla anyway and replace everythig with my own 1 m or 50cm photoreal manually. 2 m is just to blurry regardless of how much dense autogen you try to hide it under and 10 m is just well....

Sorry my bad, I found it, thanks! Altough a little dissapointing I have to admit that the core area is only 2 meter per pixel resolution, that just is not very sharp and I figured in 2019 the standard among payware developers is at least 1 meter (look at TrueEarth UK for example). With todays bandwidths and cheap SSD I dont understand this desicion and personally I would gladly pay for a proper 1 meter per pixel core area. Well, I guess I can always buy the product and replace all the phororeal myself to 1 meter or 50 cm per pixel area and just copy over the autogen/POIs for my own use I guess.

Thanks for the link Tom, although that does not reveal very much juicy details about the actual coverage area per se. For example how far towards Katmandu does it cover in photoreal. Perhaps the developer who actaully knows can chime in here. If not, its not the end of the world, I guess I will just have to improvise my photoreal project then. Mike

Would it be possible to provide some sort of rough estimate of the scenery area coverage? I will be creating my own photoscenery to compliment yours so that I will have complete coverage all the way to Katmandu. This area is too darn beaitiful to settle with landclass scenery on those slightly longer flights. //thanks

I agree fully PatrickZ, option to remove static Aircraft would be nice (or at least the possibility to manually delete a bgl file that contains the static aircraft.) Generally I want to put together my own AI traffic Schedules and repaints based on the real World traffic. For this addon however I imagine most Airports will be sloped and therefor not support AI traffic but still. I honestly rather have no traffic than static traffic. Images look amazing though. Cant wait for this one

Just saw the movie ”The Climb” yesterday about a man who climbs mount everest for love, an ok film but it was some nice scenes at Lukla. Love your screenshots and look forward to the P3D version, hope it wont be too long wait after the Aerofly version is released. I guess it leaves me time to start explore the best satelite source to use for the area surrounding your coverage area.

Looks awesome. I dont care so much for Aerofly but I sure hope this will be available for P3D as well. Once purchased I will extend the photoreal with Ortho4XP even further to Kathmandu. Will be sweet to do some AirHaueler flight to your detailed airports in the region with Kathmandu as my base, jummy Mike

I cant find if this has been asked but will this product include El Berriel (GCLB), even in a ”light” renditiion? it is a fairly freqently used for GA traffic and it is part of the island after all looks like quite a charming/atmospheric little airport so it would be sad to be without it. I personally wouldnt mind a little higher price to justify the addition.

Thanks for the update Mathijs, look forward to this :) Although a die hard P3D general aviation enthusiast primarely flying in SimWing territory of the Canary Islands this sure will spice things up a bit and fun with a little change of simulator. Keep up the good work!

Looks very very nice! But in the most humble way I can express, why on earth not a more exciting area? why not one of the islands in Hawaii, Grand Canyon etc where one truely would enjoy the sights, the mountains. This is all flat. Nothing I truely fancy when up in one if those machines to be honest.

Looks great altogether, but the island autogen including buildings closer to the airport seem a bit sparse? I wonder also if the photoreal is 50cm per pixel like on the other islands, it looked a little blurry, especially the hill leading up to the runway but it might be my old monitor. Hope for some more clutter on the airport but overall very nice, a must have for me! Mike

I no longer know what I am most enthusiastic about. It used to be Gran Canaria but I have to say La Gomer look mighty fine. Bring it on

Mathijs. This was just a fun screen capture from Google to compare with reality I was just keen to find the location of the screenshot. I guess just the fact that I found it so fast witness how good the screenshot is already and WIP no less. La Gomera will be a no brainer purchase for me. Keep up the good work SimWings. But as OPabst said earlier, lets get back to the topic of this thread Gran Canaria Airport and surroundings Mike

Nice indeed, just the beautiful bushes missing. Right out of Gogle maps

I am speechless, I am without speech! The best sim news this year! Way to go SimWings!
