Description
- Introduction
The Elbe Sandstone Mountains, better known as Saxon Switzerland, are probably the most imposing rocky mountains in Germany outside the Alps. Since the original Bing sceneries unfortunately only show green hills instead of steep rocks and the interest in this landscape is high, therefore this add-on.
The scenery includes the Schrammsteine, the Schmilka area, the Affensteine and the mount Kaiserkrone to the left of the river Elbe.
The sceneries were created from Google Maps using the Google Earth Decoder.

Ganz dickes Danke! Diese Naturschauspiel hat so gefehlt. Ruckelt zwar derzeit etwas in VR, aber das hab ich gerade in jeder speicherintensiven Mod und schieb das auch eiskalt aufs SU05.

Danke für dein Lob. Freut mich sehr, war auch ein ordentliches Stück Arbeit.
Ja, bei mir ruckelt es auch in VR etwas, vor allem im Tiefflug. Aber ich denke, dass liegt an der Nachladezeit der CPU incl. RAM.

Hello gotte,
First, thanks for recreating this beautifull part of the world.
Just curiousity: are these mountains a form of meshfile or are they models?

Hello Bram,
I think the sceneries created with the Google Earth Decoder are not meshes but models.

Okay, thanks for the explaination.
In the meantime I found I have another question:
From all your addons like this, does one only need to download and install the main file or also the second and third below the main file?
Thanks for the explaination.
Kind regards,
Bram
