My latest scenery, which I've worked on for the last 9 months, was finally released tonight!

Image

SouthernNorway covers almost all airfields used for gliding in Norway, and at 415x440 km it's one of the larger Condor sceneries. It features some varied terrain, from mostly flat farm lands in the east to dramatic fjords and steep valleys in the west. In between there are big forests, rolling valleys and hills, plus some higher, snow covered mountains and the largest glaciers in continental Europe.

Here is the area covered:
Image
This is one of the in-game maps which also shows the most important airspaces. For those who want to fly with realistic airspaces there are some flight plans in the Airspaces directory where approximations have been implemented as Condor penalty zones (but due to Condor's limit of just 8 penalty zones they have been split up into different areas, so choose one for the area you're going to fly). There is two versions of the airspaces, one with just the restricted/controlled airspaces where no flying is allowed(red), and one which also includes controlled areas where altitude is limited, but where you can fly under the controlled airspace (blue).

All the glider airports have been made with custom 3D objects to represent the real place:

Includes new high-res trees, and numerous low level 3D objects, like antennas, bridges, tunels, ships, power lines etc:

The airfields are particularly well done. Nice texturing!

Interesting solution to the giant tree size issue too...

Hello Arneh!
Thanks for the awesome scenery!
Guys, are there any chance to somehow get it work with XCSoar, is there any way to convert it?

Yes, just go to http://www.xcsoar.org/download/maps/ and download the Norway map and put it in the same folder as the other Condor maps are in your xcsoar installation.
If you're using condor2nav, then you also need to change the condor2nav\data\SceneryData.csv file to add a line for SouthernNorway too (first entry is scenery map (SouthernNorway), second is filename of map file you downloaded).
