freeware scenery for FS, FSX (and i think X-Plane) of Zurich LSZH.

Ian..  I am surprised you haven't sorted the avatar yet?  LOL.  Anyway, Thanks for the scenery info.  I am starting to get excited about flying more in Europe.  to be honest it makes me a bit nervous with the different Transition altitudes and all the numbers are written in Meters and thats hard to figure out LOL.

I was never a math scholar..  Anyway, off to download the scenery.  Thanks again for the info.

I suggest that you try my second edition of Quebec CYQB. You will find it on AVSIM.com or Flightsim.com library: quebec_cyqb_2.0.zip
Very realistic and accurate scenery. Try it and you won't regret

Hey Trevor, altitude is in feet unless you visit Russia. They are the only country I know of using meters for altitudes.

I love flying in Europe! I won't fly anywhere else in the 727.

Thanks for the tip on Zurich. I'll check it out.

hi guys.......
this is a resource i use quite a lot to search for freeware scenery.  it's run by a guy called Robert Jan Oosterloo.   links to freeware scenery all over the world by country.   both FS9 & FSX listings......
http://walhalla.mine.nu/fs2004.php (http://walhalla.mine.nu/fs2004.php)
and for micheal, try Sarajevo in minimum conditions :D    here's the link

unfortunately only for FS9 at the moment, but Irhad tells me they are working on an FSX version.
even better if you use the Balkans Mesh as well.
have a great day chaps......
regards from wales .... ian

Thanks for the link for Sarajevo!

That will be a new destination for me. I've never been. I'll have to dig up some charts.
