High définition world scenery and TerraSync

Postby SteHen » Thu Sep 16, 2021 8:20 pm

Hello,

In the past I could donwload super HD world scenery (2.0) from a website and install it manually.

It was a website with a world map and I could download the area of my choice (like on the image)

But I can't find anymore the website to download the world scenery.

It seems like now all the scenery are downloaded through TerraSync.

But how can I activate TerraSync and how can I make sure that the system download the HD scenery ?

Because actually it seems like the system is only downloading SD.

Thanks for your help,

Stéphane

Ok thanks, but how to be sure TerraSync is enable ?

And where the HD file are downloaded ?

Do you know if it's still possible to download the HD scenery manually somewhere ?

In the launcher is option Automatic scenery download, similar option is in sim under menu File, scenery download.
Downloaded scenery is stored in the TerraSync folder. I use FG only very rarely and do not remember location, it is different for windows and linux.
