Note for scenery users

This database includes scenery files (navaids and syntethic scenery) and basic texture updates for FS2000 only. It does not include any adventures, fantasy or historic sceneries, static or dynamic scenery (e.g. planes on airports), maps or charts, navaids databases, clouds and utilities.

The objective is to provide a guide for all the FS2000 world scenery and to be able to determine which are the files needed for each region of the world. Maybe it can also help to avoid double developments or compatibilitaty conflicts in scenery design.

I don't say that if a scenery isn't found here it doesn't exist. If you know about a good combination or any scenery (under the restrictions of this listing) which is not here and can be found on the Internet, drop me an e-mail please.

For information related to FS98 and before please see
“ALL the MS Flightsimulator WORLD” available at Joe´s FS Corner

Files are sorted by continents and later by nations or states (if appropriate). Each entry contains information about the scenery. All dates are expressed as day/month/year. Extensions of the files have been removed. Most files are supposed to have the extension .zip, some are .exe, some Japanese files are lzh-compressed.

Because of some really disappointing aspects in the last months I want to point some things out:

• Each package or file listed here is copyright of the respective author. Please respect this!
   
• Please also read the documentation of each package to know exactly its contents, installation, special requirements, use, compatibility issues, updates, etc. to avoid possible problems. Many designers work hard on the documentation and even include additional info to help you and to increase your fun.
   
• This database includes information about almost 1,200 (!) scenery files which all are for free! Don’t expect they all are perfect, but please always respect that the designers share their work for fun - they don’t have to! So if you don’t like a scenery, just leave it! But if you do, think about a little “Thank you” to the author to support their work.
   
• If you detect some errors tell them of course - but in a friendly way please. The authors don’t charge you for their work but still you will often get even more support from them than from the big software companies we all know... Most designers will help you, correct their work or include your wishes in the next version if time permits.

Just remember: FS is for fun and would be nothing without freeware!

Updates and Distribution

I want to thank all the scenery designers for their work and to make it available to the rest of the FS community. I encourage them to work together to make the sceneries more compatible. I really hope none of the authors is uncomfortable of being or being not included in this list.
If you detect an error, please drop me an e-mail.

Please (this is a personal opinion) do not include any common textures (Airport, VOD, ASD, FSASM, etc.) in your distribution files of sceneries. Just indicate their requirement.

It also would be nice if static aircrafts and dynamic scenery were included in separate files. I also prefer that there is not more than one picture included in the distribution files. All these recommendations are in order to save a lot a bandwidth.

If you choose to include a text file in a doc-format, please use either Wordpad or save it as a Word 6.0-document. Also avoid embedded pictures. For a special layout I think best is HTML. By this you make sure that people really can read what you want to tell!

 

New versions will be published on an unregular basis, but they are intended to be released at least every three months. You can obtain updates first at Joe´s FS Corner where you can also use and search the list online. The online version may be updated more frequently.

If you like this work then please think about including a link to
Joe´s FS Corner on your own homepage.

The complete package must be distributed together as is. It may be uploaded to any FTP or WWW server that is free of charge (please drop me an e-mail to know to what extent the file is widespread). It MUST NOT be distributed by any (electronic) mean where money is charged to the user. There is no warranty that this file will be maintained on regular basis (although I will try to of course).
