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’ Â which should be simply called ‘Rostock ETNL V2’ instead but for obscure reasons only known to the developer it is not! Â 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.
