A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FSX Scenery Objects

Description: Animated Flags Version 1.0

Created by: Dietmar Loleit - October 2014

This scenery addon has been developed on Win 7 for FSX Flight Simulator SP1 or SP2. It has also been tested with Microsoft Acceleration, but compatibility is not guaranteed by the author.

The package provides a little collection of animated flags for scenery designers and FS users who do understand the handling of folders and files for FSX. The animated flag models have been developed with GMAX. Along with the textures the package includes the model (mdl) and bgl files. The XML files for the individual placement of a flag into a FSX scenery are included as well.

The documentation contains a step by step description on how to place the flag into the FSX scenery, on a position of your choice. In order to paint your own individual animated flag, the Appendix B of the documentation describes in detail on how to do it. However, a basic experience on how to work with graphical tools like Photoshop, GIMP, Paint Shop Pro etc. is required to paint the extures/colors for a new flag. For credits look at the pdf documentation inside the zip file.
