Rostock-Laage, Germany, ETNL gets scenery in FS9 & FSX

If you have (ever) heard of Rostock lately then most probably not in a favorable way. This East German city has lately been shadowed by political extremes, decline , population loss and all other kinds of misery… but it does have a rich history and was once quite powerful… you can read all about it on Wikipedia.

Ermm… and why am i telling you all this? ah yes… because AFS Design has released it’s ‘Sceneries Package V2’  which should be simply called ‘Rostock ETNL V2’ instead but for obscure reasons only known to the developer it is not!  To complicate matters more it is released separately for each FS version, so you have the FS2004 version here and the FSX version here.

More details after the jump.

The term ” Texture” Mapping designates a procedure of the computer-generated graphic or 3D model. It serves for it to equip the surfaces of three-dimensional surface models with two-dimensional pictures – so-called „textures “- and surface properties. Textures let computer-generated pictures appear more highly detailed and more realistic, without the underlying model must be refined.
