Current project- Chernobyl NPP

[EssieP]

Landmark scenery, with custom objects and Autogen detail.

Also, the scenery covers the exclusion zone around the reactor, Pripyat and Chornobyl towns plus the Rivers Pripyat, Dneiper and Uzh.

Unfortunately the surrounding countryside is woefully low in detail. I'd be willing to buy a landclass upgrade if there was one available for Eastern Europe.

Haha, I recognise a fair bit of that from playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

That's where I got the idea, I still love that game.

Looks great!! Is it available for download anywhere? I've been looking for an excuse to fly around Eastern Europe!!

[EssieP]

It's not quite ready yet, I have to spend time on paid work first before making stuff for FSX.
On the "To do" list, is some corrections to textures, and placement of some towns & forests on the Belarus side of the Zone.

Coincidence!!!!!....I am working on the Chernobyl Plant right now for a FSX Mission....:D

[EssieP]

WOW!, I'd better hurry up and release mine!

the race is on...

having said that- I may be willing to share if you want any help.

Great scenery!

Are you going to add the Berezina river too?

About landclass - Xcloud Europe covers that area, I don't know how accurate it is, but it doesn't looks bad:

The R Berezina is mostly outside the Zone so it's not high on my to-do list .

That shot is Chornobyl town about 10 miles SE of the reactor complex and its cooling lakes. It would be interesting to see further north where Pripyat City is. It looks like there are no changes to the default HydroPolys in those pictures either. A shame because the River Dneiper looks different since the 1970s. Microsoft's data is nearly 40 years out of date in that region.
:rolleyes:

Thanks EssieP. I downloaded it at it is great...would you mind if I use it in an future adventure flight?...It is called " Russian Atomic Cities" and should be ready with FSX default objects plus some of my own...:)

[EssieP]

Is that going to be a proper mission? Sounds in interesting- what are you going to do?:o
What's your estimated time to completion?
Are you going to include Mayat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayak)?

Remember that I am slowly and steadily doing a Mk.II with added details.
