LFRE Scenery

[Oliver]

So for a while I've been editing my La Baule Escoublac scenery as it is my favorite vacationing spot on Earth and I love going there. Starting today I've been dreadfully working on getting the X-Plane streets to line up with the residences I have been adding in Overlay Editor. It has been very tedious work to get everything looking right. Unfortunately as it uses R2 library, opensceneryx, and XPFR scenery I don't think I'll be able to release it  :-\ but anyway here's what I've got so far; it's still rough but if I take the time to work carefully on it I think I could actually bring it up to good standards. It uses the realistic French roads found on XPFRs site. The reason I decided to implement roads is that so few sceneries actually contain moving vehicles and it creates a lot more realism. Tell me watcha think   Keep in mind, it's still rough and I still need to clean up the buildings I've added (I need to move them closer to the road, I need to line them up etc etc

My only major issue is when I turn on roads to Totally Insane, I get an intersection on the runway... which is due in part to X-Plane having slightly misplaced the airport, but I'm working to fix all that. Also I'm using French photo scenery found here: http://zonephoto.x-plane.fr

Wow Oliver, those roads and buildings look so nicely positioned! I used the R2 pack in KMPI, so don't let that stop you distributing, and if you've used XPFR stuff, if you ask I'm sure you'll be given permission to issue. Indeed if it's good enough, maybe they'll host it.

And I just spotted the roundabout in the first pic, that is insane. Gotta put a statue in there

Thanks Simon! Will do! I'll contact XPFR after I finish working on it, could be a while as there's quite a few streets  ;D I also need to fix the scenery so that the road doesn't cross over the runway... I'll be editing a lot of little things to make it looks nice and correct!

Also, I couldn't find a statue, so I just added a nice B17 in the middle  ;D

(By the way, the B17's tail isn't touching the car although it does look like it from that angle)

worked on it some more this afternoon, seems like a lot of people were touring the town  

Added some hangars, 3d trees, more houses, a new church, a b17, and a few things here and there. Still nowhere near finished, i'll try to work on it at least an hour a day, and then work full force on weekends  ;D

Hopefully I can work on the bigger part of town I show in the last screenshot and finish a good part of it.

The last screenshot shows what I will be deleting and doing by hand. I placed those buildings in random areas but I'll be redoing it all by hand street by street  ;D
