• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Florida Keys Scenery is out and available here : https://www.vario-design.com/florida-keys?lang=en​

Hey guys !

I started this project last week while flying over default Florida Keys which are pretty ugly compared to beautiful real coral reefs and all, so I created a 1m/ pixel photoground on the whole area including every lisland that I cropped one by one :D

I already added OSM autogen datas with scenproc, Buildings are ok but there is still not enough trees area, I'll have to add them manually with Annotator but it is something definitively doable.
Marathon airport looks interesting to work on also, if I have the time I'll do it for sure.

The global photoscenery with autogen will be Freeware btw :scratchch

Hey again !

I just uploaded kind of a 'beta' version of the scenery, note that it is my absolute first try, there is only the phototiles and the basic autogen made with OSM datas, nothing more.

You can already start to help me by adding autogen or everything that you would like to see on the future scenery.
I started to work on Marathon Airport Afcad, this region is really interesting, full of little airfields on lost islands, I love it !

Impatient to see your first feedback and thanks for your help, since it is a really big project I didn't wanted to do it alone, making it freeware is a way to share more efficiently the amount of work put inside of this future scenery, even if detailed airport might be Payware.
 
If this sceney has realistic airport locations in photoareas, i think most of 3d party florida keys addon(LatinVFR KEYW etc) sceneries for FSX/P3D will work perfectly with this scenery.
 
I cannot download scenery: It requires premium account to download. Can you upload this to other place?
 
My mistake I should have uploaded the .zip file directly on Mediafire !
I can't even download my own files , this website allow us to download only one file at once so I could have provided every BGL file independently but since there is 21 of them + hundreds of Agn I'll give up, with only one .zip file it is working !
I'm not at home but I'll be back on tomorrow so I would be able to zip the pack and reupload it for you.

However yeah and it will be studied to fit Latin VFR KEYW which is looking great !
 
The whole south Florida default scenery (not only the keys but the Everglades as well) is .... (trying to find a nicer word for it:() ...well, below standards:)(I did not want to use the word 'sh.t')!
So everything that is done to the ground, terrain, vegetation and smaller airports and airfields is more than welcome.
I (roughly) did one small airport 9FL7 (https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=70020777 ) as a test case for P3Dv4 and had a lot of trouble getting the surrounding terrain match more or less the photoreal.
You will certainly find the same problem unless you provide a huge photo real download!
 
Yeah of course I remember this little ranger station you sent me while I was working on Everglades Airpark scenery !

The whole Florida state (or at least the southern/center part up to Orlando) might worth the price regarding size on a 2m/px, there is way too damn work to do in this state :D
 
This is a really good idea, and not too large. Don't let the scope grow while you are working on this. Do Marathon and Key West.

Actually on second thought, Alex, you might even decide to ignore KW for now and start where the LatinVFR product ends. If you choose to come back later and finish KW then great, but why not start with the other segments where there we have no really good offerings?
 
The project will definitely start with Marathon yes, KW Airport scenery is really good right now and I don’t even thought about doing it again since Latin VFR already dit it well.
Is the Key West « city » included in their scenery by the way ?
Because i’ll probably add lots of custom landmarks such as restaurants, boat shops and lots of typical local stuff !

Also here is the new link : https://www.mediafire.com/file/3h6n6mzf2r04ukc/

When you have finished all the Key West restaurants, boat shops and lots of typical local stuff in about ten years from now, I will (hopefully) still be around to enjoy your scenery:D.
 
I said 'a lot' not every :duck:
In front of the airports this is the only way to add realism to this photoscenery !
 
Well, i have to say, this is perfct scenery for Florida area, i tested and most of other scenery addons works 100% with this scenery(ORBX GA airports KMTH etc and LatinVFR KEYW) Thank you very much for making this scenery. I usually fly in Florida area and this addon gives so much realism to that part of Florida i only can enjoy :)
 
Your welcome, I couldn't keep that for me !
How it is looking with LatinVFR KW ? Send some pics please ! :D
 
Here is few screenshots from LatinVFR KEYW. I disabled LatinVFR photo files and the scenery now uses your photoscenery.
Everything fits perfectly and looks even better than LatinVFR photoscenery.

Ok this is actually looking amazing !!
I was definitively not ready for this rendering with LatinVFR scenery, thank you !
 
Looks odd with no vegetation in Key West? Haven't used LatinVFR here in ages. Is that how it is, just trees around the airport?

Click to expand...
In default LatinVFR photoscenery it has autogen trees. I think the autogen trees is integrated somehow in photoscenery files.
 
Sure it should. I just checked my autogen and mine don’t provide trees here, like 3 polygons but nothing more and since you deleted LatinVFR phototile you can actually see only mine.
Now you could take LatinVFR agn files and replace them into my Florida Keys texture folder, you’ll have great autogen on key west until I add more stuff !
