Aircraft:
Virtavia SH-3 Sea King (Belgian Air Component/Military)

Scenery:
Belgium 2012 Photo Scenery
Buzet Aerodrome (EBBZ)


Scenery details:

Basically, you can download the 19 part zip files from here...
http://www.mediafire.com/?vmgya0edry0q2vc,...1ky58ymqskj6kwp

Here's the relevant Avsim link:
See post #98 from "CoolP"
http://forum.avsim.net/topic/373789-belgiu...ry/page__st__75

Additionally, I downloaded all of the autogen and tree packages from the non-airport scenery section here:
http://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx/belgium.html


I then mixed everything from all of the zip files together in a single scenery folder I created in my "Addon Scenery" directory called "Belgium".
So, now I have excellent quality photo scenery with autogen for all of Belgium. Looks good down low too, and I'm picky on my photo sceneries!

Then, installed a select few airfields from the freewarescenery.com link. Buzet (EBBZ) is the best of the bunch, matching the photo underneath precisely, and having nice goodies on the field.
The second link for Diest airfield (27sqn.be website) is excellent too.
Also installed Mailen EBML, and despite being off from where the underlying field is shown on the photo, it still looks nice (field image on photo scenery is hard to notice), and it blends in well with the terrain. (Also includes two other small fields. Look in the addon scenery's "Scenery" folder for the bgl files with the ICAO code.)
Finally, I have owned Aerosoft's Brussels National airport for a while. It's by far the largest and busiest in Belgium, and it's a nice change from these little countryside airports with no traffic.
The autogen files for the photo scenery base also add some extra scenery objects (generic) to a variety of airfields across Belgium too.

And a last little fun note: Buzet and Mailen both have Duvel Beer advertisements on the field, with Buzet's being on the side of a building, and Mailen's being very prominent as a cafe scene when you pull up to park.

Thanks Sean, looks lovely. I started downloading the file segments but the files all end in numeric extensions, how do you stitch them together? do Zip or Rar tools just know what to do?

Dean, I use 7zip, and it seems to go through them all at once automatically if you start with number 1.
It'll spit out a folder called Belgium 2012, with subfolders in it.
As mentioned, I just made a fresh folder called Belgium, with the scenery and texture subfolders, and just piled everything (photo terrain, autogen packages) into one entry. Did the airports separately though.
You can see in the bottom corner of the second shot how Buzet Aerodrome blends in absolutely beautifully with the photoscenery.
