Freeware Scenery Overview

Post by WhisperJet »

Hi All, :hello:

just discovered this and thought I'd share it with you...
Pretty cool way of displaying links to freeware sceneries all over the world.

That is a very interesting link Nick, many thanks indeed though just a pity that as usual, the UK seems to have been ignored or maybe as a country it is not exciting enough for any-one to commit themselves to free-ware sceneries. :((

Well, I just needed a 2nd try on Europe too. The Czech Republic was gone... *-)

And still - this is work in progress. If they continue their work by filling the rest of the world, the google functionality could well make this link a favourite for scenery junkies. But for the moment - it's a so-far-thing... :-# :)

Best wishes,

Nick
