Landscape details

   
Landscape:
Landscape: AA2 (Arc Alpin 2)   Name in Condor: AA2
Author(s): Dgtfer Date of release: December 29th, 2023
Description:
New in version 1.0:
Last release of AA2 before Condor 3 !

New in version 0.10:
Fix a problem with forests near Cuneo, Italy, which caused recently a complete crash during a St Ex flight.
A forest tile (11620.for file) was missing in patch v0.9, which also caused an error in the AA2.fha file.

New in version 0.9:
Revision of all western forests, with hedgerows and mixed areas,
Added or modified 35 airports installations including "La Tour du Pin", some high-resolution texture tiles, some new objects,
Massive addition of power towers and wind turbines (now more than 335 000 objects and about half a billion trees for the whole landscape...),
Few bugs were corrected.

We are now nearing our initial goal, and the next version of the scenery should be the last before Condor3...

Report there if you found some glitches:

Although covering the same geographical area than Alpine Arc for Condor 1, this landscape is completely new: high resolution textures, completely reworked elevation data in 30m resolution, and forests.

Textures retouching is a long process, it would not have been possible to release a complete landscape before many months. So we finally decided to publish a version 0.5, with provisional unretouched textures on the eastern part.
Only about sixty airfields have been equipped with specific facilities, mainly in the south of France and Italy.

We are of course considering the release of a completed version.

For this we need help especially for the modelling of the airfields objects of the Eastern Alps and Switzerland regions...

Acknowledgements:
Due to its size, this landscape had to be built with LandscapeEditor in several pieces then assembled. This operation was facilitated by Marc Till's specific program, CoMeOb, which also made it easier to integrate objects from other landscapes.
The objects were either recovered from previous landscapes or made specifically with Xavier Delaborde, Jean François Gombault and Patrick Millerioux and the water bodies were captured by Claude Simmoneau.

The tests and controls of the aerodromes were carried out and hosted by the Condorsim.fr team.
The exchanges between the participants took place on the Condorsim.fr and CondorCafé forums.

It is strongly advised to use Condor Updater tool to install this huge landscape instead of downloading manually 16 7zip files !
If AA2 0.10 is already installed, download only patch. If an older version is installed, remove it and install the whole landscape.

Known problems:
- All the airfields in the western part have been tested and do not present any problems during towed take-off except for the following fields, which in some directions only allow a winch take-off:
Megeve (SSE), Saint-Claude (SW), Zweisimmen (S), Dittingen (WNW), Calvari (both directions).
- Airfields on the eastern part have not been fully tested.

NB: If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, you may sometimes experience “Out of memory crashes”. To avoid this, it may be necessary to reduce the visibility distance and forest density

Please note that landscapes only work for their respective version of Condor. Condor 2 landscapes can be used on Condor 3 if and only if installed and converted with Condor Updater.
In order to offer a comfortable download, simultaneous downloads are limited. Please turn off download managers, they are not supported and will be blocked.

Condor Updater is a tool dedicated to the installation of Condor 2 & 3 landscapes and goodies. It’s the preferred (and the easiest!) way to download and install landscapes. You can download it from here.
