ALL the MS-Flight Simulator WORLD Scenery information for FS5.x, FSFW95 and FS98 [Explanations] [Scenery Index] [Basic Files] [Navaids] [Commercial Sceneries] [Links]

Version 7.a - 12/11/00 Joachim Tangemann

Welcome to a new version of ALL the MS-FlightSimulator WORLD !

Attention FS2000-users !

Because of the lack of compatibility between FS98 and FS2000, I decided to create an own list for FS2000 called FS World 2000 which is available at Joe's FS Corner. FS World 2000 only includes sceneries which can be used with FS2000. All the MS-FS World will be restricted to sceneries for use with FS5.x up to FS98. FS2000 related information is only given if sceneries may be used both with FS98 and FS2000.

About this listing

This listing only includes scenery files (navaids and syntethic scenery) and basic texture updates. It does not include any adventures, fantasy or historic sceneries, static or dynamic scenery (e.g. planes on airports), maps or charts, navaids databases, clouds and utilities. The objective is to provide a guide for all the FS world scenery and to be able to determine which are the files needed for each region of the world. Maybe it can also help to avoid double developments or compatibility conflicts in scenery design.

Files are sorted by continents and later by nations or states (if appropriate). Each entry contains information about the scenery based on the scenery documentation, my own's or others' experience. All dates are expressed as day/month/year. Attention: Extensions of the files have been removed. Most files are supposed to have the extension .zip, some could be .exe , some Japanese files are .lzh, a few even are distributed as .bgl .

I won't say that if a scenery isn't found here it doesn't exist. If you know about a good combination or any scenery (given the restrictions found in the listing) which is not here and can be found on the Internet, tell me please. For any comments or suggestions please use the AllWorld-Forum at Joe's FS Corner.

This listing is continuing the work of Javier Gallego who started it in 1996. Special thanks to Javier for his great service over the years! Also special thanks to the people who keep the huge FS-file libraries running and of course to all the designers who keep filling them! And last but not least thanks to everyone for feedback, wishes, tips and corrections!

Note for scenery designers

I want to thank all the scenery designers for their work and to make it available to the rest of the FS comunity. I encourage them to work together to make the sceneries more compatible. I really hope none of the authors is uncomfortable of being or being not included in this list. If you detect an error, please inform me.

Please (this is a personal opinion) do not include any common textures (FS98, Airport, VOD, ASD, FSASM, etc.) in your distribution files of sceneries. Just indicate their requirement. It also would be nice if static aircrafts and dynamic scenery were included in separate files. I also prefer that there is not more than one picture included in the distribution files. All these recommendations are in order to save a lot a bandwidth.

If you choose to include a text file in a doc-format, please use either Wordpad or save it as a Word 6.0-document at least. Also avoid embedded pictures. They increase the file size extremely and opening theses docs in different programs is more difficult. I think best is html. By this you make sure that people can read what you want to tell and your work can really be appreciated!

Updates and Disclaimers

New versions will be published on an unregular basis, but they are intended to be released at least every three months. You can obtain updates first at my homepage , where you can also use and search the list online. The online version may be updated more frequently.

The complete package must be distributed together as is. It may be uploaded to any FTP or WWW server that is free of charge (please inform me to know to what extent the file is widespread). It MUST NOT be distributed by any (electronic) mean where money is charged to the user. There is no warranty that this file will be maintained on regular basis (although I will try to of course).

Each package or file listed here is copyright of the respective author.Most of the stuff is freeware. Please read the documentation of each package to know exactly its contents, installation, special requirements, use, compatibility issues, updates, etc. Some of the files need or work better with other files, whilst they are incompatible with others. This has been indicated when known.

Please note that I am not responsible for any contents of sites linked to from this listing.

Thank you !!!
