UK VFR Library announced

The VFR Addons Database team has announced a ground-breaking autogen library for the UK

The UK VFR Library is a revolutionary freeware custom autogen library for users of VFR Photographic Scenery/FS2004.

Included in the package is a demonstration area covering whole of the Isle of Wight, aimed at showing the power of the library to completley transform the photographic scenery landscape.

The package also includes Lars Hoyer's AGenT placement tool which allows even non-designers to quickly and easily enhance their own favourite photo scenery areas with animated autogen objects, trees, buildings and many other accurately designed models using a simple point-and-click user interface.

The VFR Addons Team hope that users will be inspired to take up the challenge of creating enhanced scenery for their own favourite photo scenery areas using the facilities included in the UK VFR Library download package.

Features

• Superbly modeled animated autogen objects

• Flocks of animated birds buzzing the air or feeding off the land as animated combine’s harvest the grain.

Download

Visual Flight are pleased to have been able to
provide the hosting of the UK VFR Library
download file during the critical initial release
phase of the project when the download bandwith
requirements would otherwise have proved problematical
for the UK VFR Library team.

However, it appears that the download facility is
no longer required. It has been withdrawn
at the request of the UK VFR Library project leader.

At the time of writing, it not known what
alternative download arrangements, if any, are available.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
