FISD Release EFHK 1.0

[MiKu]

After over two and a half years of active development, Finnish Scenery Designers have released version 1.0 of their Helsinki-Vantaa airport scenery. This photorealistic scenery is an accurate recreation of the real Helsinki-Vantaa airport. This freeware scenery features satellite photograph based ground scenery, accurate taxiway markings and lines, precise 3d-models and FISD Remote Controlled Scenery (RCS). RCS is a revolutionary new technology which enables VATSIM air traffic controllers to control the lighting of the virtual Helsinki-Vantaa airport. This scenery is now available for download at FSNordic file library (www.fsnordic.net).

Congratulations, the scenery looks fantastic :).

Thanks! Physically, the release took place at Jämijärvi airfield where we are participating in CAVOK 2005 Virtual Aviators' Summer Camp. During the first couple of days of the camp we tested the scenery and made some final tunings into it. Wednesday was the big day which eventually became a day of intense programming as we found some last minute glitches in the module. Needless to say, we were quite relieved after the release. Here we are posing on the runway of EFJM in midnight sun:
