An introduction to Holland: it's a country in the northwest of Europe, and has nearly 17 million inhabitants. It used to be one of the very richest country's back in the 18th century, due to the booming business of the VOC (and unfortunately, the WIC as well...)
Anyway, in FlightGear it is far from attractive, since there is literally now scenery to look at. Well, except some (faulty) land usage data and a couple of runways and taxiways. That's pretty much it. We can't stand that and thus we do something about it by means of modelling buildings, bridges, enhancing the airports etc. In other words: make our country worthy of a virtual visit :-).

We are currently still working on this project. Therefore, you're not yet able to download what we've done so far.
Currently we are working on Amsterdam and it's airport Schiphol (EHAM).
The goal is to let the rest of Holland follow, to start with the city of Rotterdam.
Volunteer
Please feel free to help us, it is definitely appreciated! Our todo list:
- Model buildings
- Collect data about buildings, airports, bridges etc.
- Place the models in the scenery
- Enhance the scenery (by for instance adding rivers, roads, railways etc.) so we can place the buildings correctly, and to make VFR flights a pleasure.
- And last but not least: test-fly the new scenery!
If you're interested, please visit discussion page.
Thank you
We'd like to say thanks to these folks for helping us out so far:
- Erik gave us some models of yards.
- Georg placed a lot of the models in the scenery and helped to get this project started.
- Gijs modeled most of the buildings and came up with the idea to start this project.
