A few screenshots of work in progress: EHAM screenshots. And no, it will take a while before the scenery is ready for release.

The NL2000 team is often experimenting with new features for the scenery. Often these experiments don't end up in the released scenery. But this new NL2000 release has evolved from such an experiment.

A few years ago when it was snowing outside, the idea was born to make a wintry snow version of the scenery as well. By using special Photoshop filters we were able to turn the aerial imagery of our photo scenery into a snowy variant. With this imagery we build a new photo scenery and in the options screen of the installer you can now switch between the normal and the snowy scenery. To get the best looking results, we advice to put the FSX season on winter, so that the autogen trees are without leaves.

But this release not only includes a winter scenery, it also includes a new night scenery for the photo scenery. In this night scenery the roads are illuminated and lights are scattered around in towns and cities. This gives a very realistic view when flying at night. The next effects work with both the normal and the snow scenery. And if you get lost while flying in the night, you can always navigate using the lighthouses.

There is also good news for helicopter pilots, we have relocated and renamed the oilrigs in the scenery so that they match the real world situation much better. You can find all information about this in the manual.

The NL2000 team wishes you a nice flight through the snow or during the night!

See our download page for all download links. Please note: version 4.0.49 is required to install NL2000 version 4.04.

Several users have asked if we could support Prepar3D. To meet this demand we have customized the installer. From version 4.0.38 (and newer) the installer support next to FSX and ESP also Prepar3D.

Some users had performance problems with the installer. In particular, the start of the installer could take minutes. This issue has also been fixed in the new version of the installer.

The new installer can be downloaded on our download page.

The Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team was again two days at the FSWeekend in the Aviodrome. The opening of the FSWeekend was very quiet, but around 10 o'clock there were long queues. It were busy days where team members talked to old and new users and sometimes have helped with a problem. In addition, the team has shown a glimpse of some of the projects we are doing.

The Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team proudly presents the new 4.03 update of the scenery. There are some big and small changes to be found. We improved the ground scenery of the military airfields and you will find new details like ground staff in Dutch uniforms. In locations like Groningen and Westkapelle the team added new buildings but also in the countryside there is much to enjoy. We have added more details (churches, farms, stables, etc.) in the immediate vicinity of the many airfields that will make the approach interesting. The team also did some bugfixing: The generic buildings around EHHO and EHGR are back for example.

Finally, you will find an improved installer and we have added our own download site. We hope that this additional download option is usefull.

EHAM is unfortunately not ready yet as the team is still working on this airfield.
