Thank you !

i don't know what is wrong there but that site is also failing for me when testing it just now, too... i suspect it is because the links are ftp which is being actively demoted in many browsers these days... it is possible the destination site, ibiblio, has also turned off ftp access...

[time passes]

further searching and it appears that ibiblio doesn't host the FG scenery any more... at least i'm unable to find anything like i was a year or so back... i'm not sure where one might find the ancient WS1.0 scenery any more...

at this time, the general recommendation is to enable "Scenery Download" in the launcher and let FG download your scenery as you go... this will be WS2.0, though... also be sure to be using the latest LTS release, 2020.3...

Hi and welcome!

To complemented wkitty, I think the mirror still has the old scenery at http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/flightgear/f ... ery-v2.12/ ? World Scenery 2.0 was released with FlightGear 3.0, so at the time of FlightGear 2.12 it was still WS1.0.
However, unless you have a very good reason to want this old scenery, I'd definitely recommend using the automatic scenery download feature as mentioned before.

rooting around on the mirror link gijs posted shows that the old Scenery-1.0.1 directory is also no longer on the mirror... not sure where one might find an archive of it... if one really really needs the old WS1.0 scenery, they might inquire on the devs' mailing list, flightgear-devel, at the "mailing lists" link at the top of these forums pages...

I think you misunderstood my comment. Scenery-v2.12 equals WS1.0. See the description at https://www.flightgear.org/download/scenery/

OH! i have been thinking that was WS2 because "v2.12" in the directory name... the geoffair site links to tiles with "1.0.1" in the directory name... WS0??
Code: Select all
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/flightgear/ftp/Scenery-1.0.1/w010n50.tgz

code tags specifically to show a url from the geoffair site... that's what specifically makes me think the OP is looking for older scenery than the v2.12 stuff...

Thank you very much for your answers, I found an alternative, I took TerraMaster it’s WS2.0 and you can download what you want, continent or country or a island if you want. I give you the link if you are interesting ! ( https://wiki.flightgear.org/TerraMaster )
With the pleasure to see you in the sky !
