OYSQ - Socotra-Mori - Yemen (v1.0)

A beautiful new scenery package from Marcel "Teutonique" Wislet,
converted with permission by Michel Picard (aka Brother) has been added to XP-Africa: OYSQ Socotra-Mori in Yemen.
Socotra's OYSQ airport is beautifully detailed, as well as some of the surrounding villages.

You can thank and/or contact Marcel Wislet here.

The scenery includes a reminding of the Mori village, the town of Hadibou (the largest of the island – 6.5 nautical miles of OYSQ, azimuth 084) and its small oil terminal 3.5 nautical miles further East.

From wikipedia:
"Socotra is a small archipelago of four islands in the Indian Ocean off the coast of the Horn of Africa some 190 nautical miles (220 mi; 350 km) south of the Arabian peninsula. It is very isolated, and through the process of speciation, a third of its plant life is found nowhere else on the planet. It has been described as the most alien-looking place on Earth"

Mori airfield, on Socotra island, has a 03/21 paved runway which is 3,300 meters long by 47 meters wide.

This runway has been built during the Cold War by the Soviet Union on the basis of agreements with the then Democratic Republic of Yemen. Socotra-Mori airport is an ancient military air base called Ras-Karma where some assesments say that is still operationnal a russian military intelligence center of the FAPSI, equivalent to Echelon system operated by USA and commonwealth allies.

GOOY - Dakar Yoff - Léopold Sédar Senghor - Sénégal v1.5

XP-Africa is happy to introduce a new, revised version of GOOY-Dakar-Sénégal.

The original GOOY - Dakar scenery was created for Flight Simulator
by Jean Charbonnel, who was kind enough to allow me to convert and adapt
his work to X-Plane.

Changelog for v1.5:
- We now have (almost) realistic night lighting on the main Apron and car park !
(It still needs a bit of iprovement, but i'm quite happy with the result)
- New textures for some objects that missed propper textures (instead of the infamous fs2x palette file).
- Some objects replaced by more pertinent ones.
- Some minor changes to the apt.dat, including exact tower view positioning.
- A few new animated objects here and there as well as various other refinements.
- The tree-galore around the airport has been suppressed, it all looks a lot better now in X-Plane v9.x .
- Some odd/misplaced objects have been suppressed and some ground textures
that provoqued flickering have been replaced by some work on the apt.dat


Coming up in v2.0:

- Mainly a completely revised apt.dat, to fit real-world data and GMaps/G2XPL overlays - this is the big chunk and that's why it's truly going to be a v2.0 - i don't have time for that right now, maybe sometime this summer.
- A new set of revised textures and night textures for some of the main buildings (some textures are too low-def and some night textures are just way too bright)
- Some "split" objects will be reassembled and retextured.
A big thanks out to Al-Youx and Beber for their great animated objects and lighthouses! :D

FYHV - Hartmann Valley - Namibia

XP-Africa presents two new bush strip for North-Eastern Namibia, FYMF-MarienFluss and FYHV-Hartmann Valley. The two small strips have been created using Robin Peel's recently added airport data, boasting lots of new bush strips in Namibia and Botswana.
The scenery package was created using GMaps by Mario Cavicchi and is supposed to be used with the related G2XPL PhotoReal coverage of the North-Eastern end of Namibia, near the border to Angola, available here:

http://xpafrica.dtccorp.org/XOverlays_Namibia_MarienFluss.zip

It's a big chunk, approx. 750MB, but the result is worth the ride.

This scenery package was created by Antonio Toretto and David Gluck for XP-Africa, using static objecs by Bob Whitt, Michel Bouthier (MikeBravoRomeo), Alain Laurent (Al-Youx) and After1246, as well as objects from the OpenSceneryX library (http://www.opensceneryx.com).

This scenery Package requires X-Plane v9.xx and the OpenSceneryX library.
