Welcome to Biarritz 0.1 Beta release!
This mod is a google maps import of the city of Biarritz, France. Biarritz is a city on the Bay of Biscay, on the Atlantic coast in the French Basque Country in southwestern France. It is located 35 kilometres (22 mi) from the border with Spain. It is a luxurious seaside tourist destination known for the Hôtel du Palais, its casinos in front of the sea and its surfing culture. Fly from Biarritz Airport (LFBZ)!
Please make sure to also download Biarritz Airport made by Alex. The Lighthouse (Phare) is NOT included, because Alex did an animated version that comes along with his Airport! Make sure to download!
* Features
Google Photogrammetry import of the seafront, old town and landmarks in the landing/take off path of Aéroport International de Biarritz Pays Basque LFBZ.
Added night lights
Did some height correction and improvements to the general topography of the area
Color corrected for perfect blend with Microsofts generic buildings
* Known Problems
BETA RELEASE! Scenery is not optimized yet, frame drops can occur! I will optimize it soon!
* How to install
Just unzip the download and drop both folder (seafront and biarritz) into your community folder!
Have fun flying!

Cool, one of my favourite destinations in RL. Thens some questions 😊
Have you stopped development on this? Does it work with the FlightBeam scenery? The screenshots are rather dark, so can't see if it uses real MSFS trees, or the broccoli trees direct from Google Earth import, would be nice to know.
Anyways, thanks for making this!

Hello,
Yes, development for this is stopped at the moment. There is not so much room for improvement anyways. The scenery was optimized for bmw (alex) design biarritz airport, it should work with the other one as well, however, I do not own all paywares out there, so my ability for optimizing is limited in this regard as well.
I tried to remove as many google trees as I could, but it is impossible to clean up a whole city, as you may imagine.

Hello, is it compatible with last updates ?
Troglodytus author
Hello, I hope so. Have not tested it myself yet. I can't see why it should not be compatible though!

Impressive work, especially because you did it from scratch as the default layout for Biarritz is really poor compared to many other comparable cities.
And it is a pleasure to fly above my childhood house in St Charles now !!!
As the elevation data and landscape is really bad in msfs for Biarritz, I wonder if there is any chance you continue the development of this mod ? (Lighthouse missing, like almost every lighthouses in current MSFS, Illbarritz is badly shapened and buildings are not consistent yet, possibly integrate St Jean de Luz Gethary Bidart or Bayonne ?, etc)
I have no specific skills but now a bit about 3d and modelling, I can try to help building it if you feel to be assisted 😊 I'm missing so much a true to life msfs pays basque addon ❤????????
UN GRAND MERCI
