About the Tel Aviv VFR Project

==============================

This work is the most accurate Tel Aviv VFR scenery to date and is a result of about two months of research and development. The sizing, object location etc. was based on a combination of maps, satellite photos, pictures and visits to location. In addition it closely follows tips and information from various architecture companies which planned the towers, leading to very accurate modelling. Wherever possible photo-realistic textures were used.

Given the fact that the Tel Aviv VFR scenery will significantly expand in the coming weeks making it a very crowded scenery, some of more subtle architectural features have been left out for the sake of frame rate. The buildings were designed with performance in mind - the key issue was to make them realistic to viewing distances of more than 300'(100m).

The scenery is by no means complete. There are many other less tall, but important structures that are planned and already being created for future scenery releases. Besides, there are many towers that are being built or planned in Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan, two of them towering at around 240m each; so there is plenty to do.

Meanwhile enjoy VFR-ing over Tel Aviv, or the LLBG RWY 12 approaches. The LL (Lima Lima) RWY12 outer marker is located on top of the Shalom Meir Tower.

Tel Aviv VFR 1.0 currently covers:

- The Ramat Gan Business District (9 towers)

- The Azrieli Towers (2 towers)

- The Shalom Meir Tower

- Marganit Twr

- Platinum, Medial and Millenium Towers complex (3 towers)

- Rubinstein Twr

- Elrov Twr

- Levinstein Twr

- Gan Ha'ir Twr + Rabin Square (1 tower + City Hall)

- IBM Building

- The Tower

- Seaside hotels (6 buildings)

A little bit about Tel Aviv

===========================

Tel Aviv is the busiest and the biggest city in Israel.

It is the first newly founded Jewish city in the reborn Israel, but it is anything but "traditional". In the recent years, many skyscrapers have been added to the skyline which once was dominated by the Shalom Meir Tower in Tel-Aviv and the Diamond Exhange building in Ramat-Gan Business District. While Shalom Meir Tower still stands out among the less tall buildings surrounding it, the Diamond Exchange building has been literally engulfed by many post-modern architectural wonders which dwarf it to the point of non-relevance.

Although technically not Tel Aviv, my scenery covers almost all of the important towers of the Ramat Gan Business District. Looking at the imposing architectural complex and its tallest feature (City Gate Tower - standing 244m) will make you understand why.

Another important much talked-about project is the Azrieli Towers or better known as "Shalom towers" (not to be confused with the old Meir Shalom Meir Tower) - Shalom means "Peace". This project has seen several changes during its construction, the most significant ones being the cancellation of one of the three towers - the Square Tower - and the height increase of the remaining two - the Round Tower (187m) and the Triangle Tower (169m).

Despite being the busiest and most cosmopolitan city in Israel, Tel Aviv is not the capital - Jerusalem is. Think of it as Manhattan versus Washington DC.

החבילה מתנגשת עם חבילת האובייקטים של זאב קאהן.

יש לנטרל את הקבצים azrieli.bgl, shalomtower.bgl ו-bursaramatgan.bgl מחבילת האובייקטים של זאב.

אני שיניתי להם סיומת ל BAK וזה עובד יופי.

In the readme it is clearly stated:

"2. Disable any Tel Aviv/Ramat Gan scenery - if you don't, you may experience strange results."

People should read the installation instructions sometimes :-)

I understand that, Alex, but people will want Zeev's 3d Pack - it has Raana Park, Pi Glilot and Ashdod power plant. I was ust making thing clearer - not everybody know which files they need to disable and in what directories they are located...

Anyway, good work! I really like it! The Kirya at last! Azrieli is only two towers... and Ramat Gan is superb!

I didn't mean to criticize you Oren, and I am sorry if I sounded that way. I understood your intentions, and your help is appreciated. I just wanted to make sure that people RTFM ("Read The F..ing Manuals". In Israel we throw out or ignore the manuals too soon and then we contact customer support with idiotic questions - oh well.

And I am happy that you like what you see. That will keep me going for the next TLV phase. And you wil be pleasantly surprised that the Kirya will see a special boost - but NOT on the "interesting" side. Marganit twr. will stay alone in that sense.

Regards,

Alex

(no Hebrew on this computer...)

God knows why the forum won't let you "quote" previous messages... Even if I try to edit your message or rewrite it completely it still a no-go.

Strange...

Scenery looks great, I'll test it tommorow!

אילן, זה בגלל שבפרופיל שלו הוא בחר לחסום BBCODE וגם HTML

y dont u give the guys the exact adress to d/l it

in that case im sure they will operate it with no questions at all

ty

The annoncement title says that it has been posted on AVSIM and Flightsim.com. It's been on AVSIM since yesterday evening, and now it appears on the main page - the new downloads list after the news, as usual. Flightsim.com taks 24hrs to update the upload list so for now it can be d/l only at AVSIM. Both AVSIM and Flightsim.com use intermediary code for the d/l process so it is impossible to point directly to the file. They use this for statistics and copyrighting. Anyway, AVSIM's URL http://www.avsim.com and Flightsim.com is at http://www.flightsim.com .

Good luck.

Alex
