A lot of stuff coming out for Washington and Oregon this week.
1. MegaScenery for Pacific Northwest. I'm speechless right now. Wow!
And in the AVSIM file libraries:
2. Columbia River Gorge and Cascade Volcanoes, USA
My tribute to the staff and community at www.hovercontrol.com, this
package completely replaces approx. 5,000 sq mi of the default
landscape of the Columbia River Gorge and adjacent areas of
Washington and Oregon. Three volcanic peaks - Mount St. Helens,
Mount Adams, and Mount Hood - as well as old lava beds, deep river
valleys, many small lakes, and the majestic Columbia River offer
great opportunities for scenic and challenging flights. Accurate
placement of rivers, lakes, streams, roads, railroads, hydro dams, and
power lines, as well as land use textures (land class), water colors
(water class) and a high-res terrain mesh. Also added are the massive
volcanic blast area of Mount St. Helens and the ski areas at Mt. Hood.
Made primarily with Christian Fumey's "Ground2K4", using 1:24,000
DRG digital topographic maps and Landsat 7 satellite imagery. Fully
compatible with existing add-on meshes of the western US. Custom AI
traffic will be available as a separate file.

3. Columbia River AI Floatplanes and Vessels
An optional add-on for my cr_gorge.zip, these files add custom AI
floatplane and ship traffic on the Columbia River between Washougal
and The Dalles, as well as GA flightplans for some of the smaller
airfields in the coverage area. Included are the HU-16 Albatross (Greg
Pepper/Warren Landis), two variants of the Monocoupe 135 (Tom
Miller), a S300C helicopter on floats (Jordan Moore), as well as
Hovercraft and Jetfoil vessels by Mitsuya "Hama" Hamaguchi using
repaints by M. Allen Richards and Dobro. All models have custom flight
models and dynamic water effects. The included AI models can be
utilized in other locations for which custom AFCAD files are available.
For more details on AI floatplanes and ships see my ai_ships,
ai_shipx, and ai_floats.zip packages.

4. Mt. Rainier, Washington State - Photoreal Ground Scenery
package
This package contains photoreal scenery covering a massive area near
Mt. Rainier. The entirety of Mt. Rainier National Park is covered, plus
an additional area of approximately 600 square miles. The base
image is a combination of a 15m resolution black-and-white image
and a 30m resolution color image, both manipulated in a graphics
editing program. Scenery created using Photo Scenery Maker. I've also
packaged a couple flights at specific points in the scenery in the
default Bell JetRanger helicopter. More specific information can be
found in the ReadMe_Install.txt file.
