openVFR for Microsoft FSX - new version

After the success of the first version the openVFR team has launched its new VFR scenery edition 2010/04. With the new version the presentation of terrain textures (openVFR Terrain) and the rendering performance for additional 3D-objects (openVFR Objects) has been improved very much. One special focus was to improve water textures and coastlines.
With the new version also additional countries, like United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, and many others have been firstly published. Now nearly each Euopean country is available for download.  

Compared to its version the new openVFR edition doesn't come for free anymore. But its actual price about 3-5 EUR per country is quite moderate. Furthermore each country can be purchased independently. Older version will be still offered for free.

About openVFR:

In difference to other terrain sceneries openVFR is based on geodata taken from Openstreetmap**. Due to the highly realistic terrain information openVFR sets new standards for VFR flight navigation in Microsoft FSX.  

Furthermore the user can improve the quality of the upcoming openVFR versions by registering as a editor at Openstreetmap.
