As dvj noted, this is a payware scenery published by SimWorks Studios "Okavango Delta". It reproduces some small bush airports and lodges for tourists in love with safaris.
Several animals add realism to this scenery. (Elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, buffaloes, hippos). They are relatively easily found near lodges, water points and airports.
But we also find some randomly depending on the overview of the scenery. This is the case with the elephants crossing the river. I saw them by chance. Some animals are animated and some are not.

Thanks, Richard !

That's a deffinate buy then. No better opportunity than to spread my virtual wings over this vast continent in MSFS.

There are a few absent in the scene, antelopes, hyenas, cheetahs, leopards, monkeys and especially birds.

Well, i can enjoy those already to my heart's content with my fav game of late Planet Zoo. Al these and much more are modeled, textured and animated to a high degree of finesse. Particularly the sounds they make too. When it comes to this, a bit to get used to is the most intelligent animal of the pack: homo sapiens or human... No way of course to leave them out in a zoo. Frontier did go as far as providing a provision to call security and have them thrown out..

Modeling, texturing, animation and sounds are all exquisite.

(actually i have ambivalent feelings about zoo's but virtually the're alright, no harm done)

About the splish splash water effect, it doesn't exist in msfs. So, to add realism to the scene I edited my image with photoshop.

Like i said, well done ! ;-)

I had the chance recently two years in a row to travel to Africa and participate in safaris in Tanzania. Encounters with locals and wildlife are magical moments that cause a lot of emotion. This is what I tried to reproduce with this set of screenshots.

Well, you certainly passed with flying colors, Richard !

I am sorry to not be able to say "i know what you mean" but i full well understand the emotional impact a Tanzania safari can cause someone. Like most people (and probabely a good thing too..) my only encounter with wildlife is thru the allmighty TV or computer monitor. For some time now i have access to a special wildlife TV channel 24 /7. Absolutely amazing.

So as you mention maybe it's me and Susan Szymczyk Graig on the balcony ! ;-)

I have no doubt. ;-) Thanks again for your fantastic virtual Afrika lecture !

Cheers,
Jan

Place a net in the middle of the cockpit and pilot and passenger can play tennis.

Does look very nicely made ! Extraordinairy aeroplane, never seen it before. Maybe good opportunity to buy it. (made a vow not to buy anything else post DC-6 ;-)

Where can i get the museum airfield, Mario ?...

Thanks!

The airfield scenery is La Ferte Alais, which in reality is a popular location for warbirds and classics in France. The scenery is very nice, though a number of the statics present you would of course never find at the airfield in reality.

That ramp lineup is sure a nice fantasy though, ain't it John!

In the Australia Pack, the mission is to stop a Dingo from stealing someone's baby.

When you decide to see just how much detail went into some of the static "tourists" at Catalina...

Thanks John, brilliant !

For a long time already i have enjoyed videos of La Ferte Alais air display shows. It's the French version of Old Warden or Old Warden is the English version of La Ferte Alais. Not easy to stop watching these wonderful videos.

Didn't even know there's something like 'missions' in Planet Zoo. Probabely too busy building zoo's all over the place. Hillarious to see those clodhoppers attending my Arctic zoo while still wearing their Florida beach clothing.

Amazing to see some of these zoo architects building incredible phenomenal zoo's. Inspiring too.

Hey Ryan, yeah it is part of Don's recently updated Duluth/lift bridge addon on the "Fly in Minnesota" website.

Great shots.. I have the same livery - it's probably the best one out there.

I'm always drawn to the yellow/black color combination. I have maybe twelve or so repaints installed for the 208, but it is one of only a few I've actually used so-far.
