Damn. You're fast!

May I do a request? What about "Twente", which is my living area (and Gotcha's).

Cool that you made my home city! \:\) Although it's not that accurate, the city is a lot bigger than those few clusters of buildings in the map. Oh and the airport in Sandefjord is named Torp, not Trop.

And if you're going to model Norway there are a lot of more interesting places than the relatively flat capital \:\) Like the fjords in western Norway (Sognefjorden or Hardangerfjorden), or the Islands with all those steep cliffs and fjords in northern Norway (Lofoten or Senja (where I grew up \:\) ). And not so many cities you have to model in those places \:\)

Edit: added some pictures from those places.

Geirangerfjorden. It's absolutely huge, that's a big cruiseship down there!:


Aurlandsfjorden (sidearm of Sognefjorden):


Lysefjorden:


Part of Lofoten:


Senja:

Most places do, but maybe not those remote farms you find up the mountain sides \:\)

Not Finland, but Russia is right next door, and during the cold war there was always a huge chance Norway would have been invaded. And plenty of reasons to want Norway, there's tons of natural resources like oil and gas (Norway is currently the third biggest exporter of oil and gas in the world).

Norway is #1 country in the world in wealth. Denmark and the Netherlands are following closely. I don't have any references.

Cool! Though Sognefjorden would probably be even cooler \:\)

Have you managed to get Prekestolen (aka Pulpit Rock, a 600 meter vertical drop into the fjord) to look right? \:\)

A few more pictures to try and convince Maverick to make Sognefjorden :P Is there anyone who doesn't want to fly through terrain like this? \:\)













A few facts about Sognefjorden:
It is over 200km long, stretching nearly halfway across Norway at its widest. It is the second longest fjord in the world (longest is Scoresby Sund on Greenland). The fjord sides reach altitudes of about a 1000 meters above the water, and it's just as steep below sea level, reaching depths of more than 1300 meters at the deepest point. The inner most part of the fjord extends into the Jotunheimen mountain range, which contains the 26 highest peaks in Norway, and also the highest in Northern Europe, Galdhøpiggen (2469 metres) and Glittertind (2,465 metres).
