Custom scenery for the Iberian Peninsula is available. This area includes the continental territories of Spain, Portugal, Andorra and Gibraltar. The project uses the data from CORINE database for the land classes, OpenStreetMap for the landmass and roads and the enhanced altitudes by Jonathan de Ferranti.


Improvements over the standard scenery

The following data sources have been used and processed to generate this scenery:

  • landcover information from the CORINE program. See here for the correspondence between CORINE and FG textures. Additional cities and details were manually added, specially in Catalonia.
  • landmass and coastline updated according to OpenStreetMaps data,
  • digital elevation data by Jonathan de Ferranti for Canary Islands, Gredos and Picos de Europa [1],
  • Road and rail information from OpenStreetMap [2].
  • New airports and enhancements to many existing airports and airfields, including LEBL, LEDA, LETO, LECS.

The creation of the scenery is still an on-going project. Additional information and temporary data files can be found at Vive FG!


Distribution

The scenery files has been divided in 10+1 zones for an efficient management of the data and updates.

Zones of the scenery

San Sebastian Bay (ICAO: LESO) Costa Daurada (ICAO: LERS)
Bay of La Concha (Airport: LESO) Costa Daurada (Airport: LERS)

Improved and new airports

The scenery files already include many enhanced and new airports, including their buildings, runways, taxiways and navaids. Most of the new buildings are not yet uploaded to terrasync since it still uses old airport positions. Some of the new starting positions are already included in the scenery files.
