No HD Scenery Graphical Download?

Postby Husky Dynamics » Fri Mar 19, 2021 7:26 pm

So I was on the FlightGear website planning to go through and re-download some of my scenery (primarily Alaska and the US West Coast), and I noticed that the "graphical installer" or whatever they called it (where you clicked a 10x10 degree square on the world map to download the scenery for that chunk) no longer appears to be available, and that the only way now to get the v2.0.1 scenery is through TerraSync, which I can't use due to limited bandwidth. Does anyone know if it is still possible to get the WS2.0 scenery manually, or do I need to downgrade to 1.0?

I'm off at college so I've stopped making liveries (for the time being, at least), but I'm continuing to ensure compatibility for the ones I've already published.

have you looked at terramaster? it allows you to download selected portions of scenery and will install them in the scenery directory you tell it to use...

"Why not?" said Gurder.

I'd forgotten that Terramaster existed! Thanks for reminding me!

Took me a little while to figure out how to get it set up but I think I have it working now. I'll check it in the morning and make sure everything still looks and runs fine.

UPDATE: I have discovered that it takes way too long to download the whole US West Coast plus Alaska and part of Canada, so I'm redoing it in smaller sections. Seems to work though. Thanks again for the help!

Hallo!

I also usually downloaded (v2.0.1) scenery from http://www.flightgear.org/download/scenery/ and really liked the world map where you could choose the 10°x10° tiles.
TerraSync doesn't really work for me and I don't want to use any additional program for scenery download like TerraMaster.
Is it still somehow possible to download and install the latest official scenery manually via internet browser?

Thanks in advance.
CU.
