I just watched a very interesting "factual drama" called "Supervolcano: The Truth About Yellowstone" made by the BBC where it shows what would happen if the giant volcano underneath Yellowstone National Park ever erupted.

Anyway, there was lots of chopper flying in it, around some brilliant scenery. I took a flight around the default yellowstone and wasn't very impressed, so I searched avsim for a replacement, and got a whole heap of packages: http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=Yellowstone&CatID=fs2004scen&Go=Search

My question is, what is the best free addon available for the area, can you recommend some and provide links too? If possible, I would like to see some coulourfull thermal lakes, new terrain, and a few 3D objects like bridges, ranger stations, etc?

Cheers

Thanks for the link RM.

Could anyone advise me which is better to get:
1)FSGenius's 38.2m mesh (33mb) including Yellowstone and surrounding land

2)RealScene 2004 Terrain and Landclass Preview covering Yellowstone Park and the Grand Tetons area (40mb)

3) Wilfred Husted's scenery enhancements for Yellowstone National Park with more accurately placed lakes, roads and streams and some landclass changes (1.2mb)

Any ideas ❓ ❓ ❓

Ok, I’ll reply to myself then…
…I went ahead and downloaded the 40mb RealScene preview which apparently contains terrain and landclass for the national park. It came with two .BGL files I installed and here are some screenshots of the result:

IMO, it looks pretty good, although I can’t stand the default water textures since I have been using the famous VOZ addon. I guess I was expecting a package simular to the Columbia River Gorge Project (which is absolutely fantastic) for a bit of typical rural American countryside to explore, but to be honest it’s not as good and I can’t even spot any modified landclass at all! 😕 The good point's about this are that it covers a huge area, theres lots of mountains aswell as waterbodies, so it's perfect to for amphibious planes 😉
