Good afternoon,
Even better news...Captain Kurt has assured me that this scenery will not interfere in any way with the 82nd Fighter Group, in fact, it should add some nice eye candy for mission five.

Thank you for your hard work. The scenery looks wonderful.

Nice work, Rami!
Before too long CFS2 is going to look better on the ground than FS2004 or FSX with all the great work you scenery guys are doing!

Good evening,
So far, the original Mediterranean ports of Bejaia, Bone, Tunis, Benghazi, Derna, and Tripoli.
I still have to revise Alexandria and Palermo from the original package, as well as Trieste. Then there are the new ones.

Good morning,
Palermo is getting close...my biggest dilemma is deciding what to do regarding the "upper" harbor and breakwater. The land class and shorelines simply don't match. I was able to represent the "lower" harbor pretty accurately, though it's not finished yet.
If you look at Palermo in Google Earth you'll see why I'm a little stuck.

Lee,
Yeah...I've got the harbor reasonably close, I just won't do the "upper" harbor. I may have this finished by this evening. Then I'll need to fix some issues with my MTO install.

Devildog73,
I hope you don't mind, but the last whistle stop on my MTO scenery revamp tour before I continue building some new ports is Trieste, Italy. You used this in the "Destroyer Attack" mission of the Tuskegee campaign. (It's in Part IV) Using Google Earth's "time machine," I have satellite photographs of the harbor at that time. I kept your fortress and redid the oil refinery, but the biggest change so far is that I revamped the "upper" harbor to reflect the 1943 era, including the rail yard.
I'll continue around the "horn" of Trieste and do the lower harbor as well...and then create a cityscape before I turn it into GSL. There's still a little work to do on the French Riviera, but after that it should all be finished, as far as Tuskegee is concerned.
Here are some screenshots thus far...

Very nice work, Rami. I am going to download more scenery eventually and I especially like the scenery you and the team did and are currently working on. Thank You!
Good evening,
This is Naples. This was a tricky one...because I had to include Captain Kurt's rail yard and the GSL airfield at Capodichino. The harbor and Naples proper was around 1,350 objects, a little less than I thought it would be. I made some minor deletions around the harbor to keep the size down slightly.

Good morning,
I just wanted to let you know that this weekend, I will be releasing my portion of the MTO ports package which has been completely overhauled and redone. This will not be all of the improvements, but a significant portion of them. Most of the ports from Trieste westward have been completely overhauled and redone over the last several months, and there are a couple of new ones. I will try to include as many of the objects as I can to lessen the user workload.
The ports I will release this weekend are...
Sicily: Licata, Messina, Palermo.
Italy: Naples, Trieste.
Libya: Derna, Benghazi, Tobruk, Tripoli.
Egypt: Alexandria.
Algeria: Bougie, Bône.
Albania: Valona.
Greece: Athens, Khalkis, Salamis, Thesaloniki, Volos.
Crete: Souda Bay.
In deference to Dombral, I will release a second pack in a few weeks (I am waiting for a few airbases) called "Dombral_Med_suite" under his name to give him the credit he deserves for much of the Mediterranean scenery he has teased us with in his screenshots for years. I have worked with them and turned them into GSL. These include...
Algeria: Algiers.
France: Toulon, Marseille, Fréjus, Saint-Raphaël.
Italy: Genoa, Imperia, Porto Maurizio, Savona, Vado Centro, Venice, Marghera.
Djibouti: Djibouti City.
Morocco: Safi
Tunisia: Bizerte, Tunis.
Captain Kurt's scenery for the 82nd Fighter Group only enhances this effort, especially on Sardinia and Corsica.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Scenery Add-Ons
Description: This is a scenery support package for the MTO which allow you to have permanent destroyable scenery, specifically ports, at twenty-one locations.
These ports include the following locations...
Albania: Valona.
Algeria: Bougie, Bone.
Egypt: Alexandria.
Greece: Athens, Khalkis, Souda Bay, Thessaloniki, Volos.
Libya: Benghazi, Derna, Tobruk, Tripoli.
Sardinia: Cagliari, Olbia
Sicily: Palermo, Licata, Messina.
Tunisia: Tunis.
Italy: Naples, Trieste.
Many of these ports are updates or overhauls of my previous GSL ports package dating back to 2011 / 2013, but two are brand-new, (Messina and Naples) while several others (Palermo, Bone, Trieste, and Tunis) have been relocated and entirely rebuilt from the ground up. However, the Greek & Albanian ports, as well as Licata, were left untouched.
In addition, Captain Kurt was kind enough to allow me to include and spruce up his GSL ports for the 82nd FG campaign he released in 2014, & Kdriver was generous enough to create seaplane takeoff points for several of these locations. Entries for your airbase.dat file have been provided, along with a new "Master" airbase.dat file which contains all airbase.dat entries for the theatre.
Please note that unlike previous editions of these GSL ports, all possible objects that I obtained have permission to include have been added, to greatly lessen the work of the user. This includes airfields whose GSL gobs were combined with the ports because they overlapped.

Good morning!
1) Thanks, Stef.
2) You my notice in the "Important scenery" .pdf file that there is a small typo with regard to the location of the file. It should be the SCENEDB\World\Scenery folder, not "SENEDB\World\Scenery." I'm sure that most of you figured that one out quickly.
Such is life when you write these things at 5am...
