Shutdown of MegaUpload

MeagaUpload has been shut down on Jan 19th: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16642369.

As unfortunate as this is, every problem also is a chance of some kind ;)
Because we have to reupload everything to a new file hoster we can make a couple of improvements:

  • There will be just one download per region.
    This will be a larger download (approx 500MB per region), but way more comfortable.
  • All FSX regions (also the old ones) will come in super crisp 1m/pix.
  • All FSX regions (also the old ones) will come with our high-resolution elevation mesh.
  • All old regions will come with Joops AFCADs included.
All old regions will be uploaded in reverse order.
However, due to the enormous amount of data and our improvements this will take some time...

CURRENT STATUS: California and Arizona are reuploaded!
Go to our download maps to see which sceneries are available.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State

With 14,410 feet, Mount Rainier is the highest volcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc, which extends from British Columbia all the way down to Northern California. The volcanoes formed due to a colliding movement of plates in the earth's crust. In a process called subduction, the Juan de Fuca Plate moves eastward and under the North American Plate. On its way down the subducted plate releases water into the mantle rock of the plate above. The water lowers the melting point of the mantle rock which melts and rises due to its lower specific weight like bubbles until it collects in magma chambers under the volcano. Once a critical pressure is reached the obstacle of the volcanic cone is overcome, leading to a sudden explosive eruption. The most recent volcanic eruptions at Mt. Rainier were about 150 years ago. To explore the scenery, depart from Ranger Creek (21W) and head south or from Packwood (55S) and head north.

Glacier National Park, Montana

Covers spectacular Glacier National Park just south of the Canadian border, up in Montana. Although the mountains formed about 60 million years ago, the rugged landscape as we see it today is largely the effect of glaciers, thousands of feet thick, that grinded and scraped along the valleys during the ice ages, just about 20.000 years ago. Only the tops of the highest peaks were sticking out back then. The glaciers receeded since then, but there are many remnants in the higher regions of the park. What remains are rugged peaks, magnificent clacial-carved cirques, hanging valleys and deep U-shaped valleys filled with long lakes. Flying along the impressive peaks, horns and aretes gives you a sense, why the Native Americans called it the "Shining Mountains" or the "Backbone of the World". To explore the scenery, depart from Babb, MT (49S) - a small turf strip - and head west. Climb to 1.500 ft AGL and hold your breath. The scenery becomes truly spectacular, as you move west.
