2/27/2023 0 Comments X plane 10 sceneryThe HD Mesh Scenery v3 is a complete replacement for the default Global Scenery in X-Plane 10 for all covered regions (it includes mesh, landclass, forests, road/railroad networks, all water features and autogen data)! I don't want to spend hours trying to structure my scenery folders correctly, just want an installer that does it all for you, which is incidentally exactly what Aerosoft EGLL for Xplane does.After more than a year, the free (donationware) HD Mesh Scenery v3 replaces the previous v2 scenery package!Ĭovered Regions (see coverage on the download map below): Not helpful to people who don't understand to start with! And that Ortho4XP thing, what is going on with that? Just a load of files and folders with no clear instructions. Was it any use in helping me install World2Xplane, no because W2XP assumes that everyone already knows exactly which files and folders to download and where to put them. You really need to understand that Xplane is not intuitive at all! I've read that page on the Aerosoft forums before. I've spent a lot of time trying to understand the structure of Xplane scenery, with lots of time spent downloading enormous files, to then boot up Xplane and find that it crashes because a file is missing. BUT your post is exactly the same tone as I've had before from the Xplane community before which really really bugs me. Marius, thank you for the link to that application. With any perceived disadvantage, you'll also find advantages (like not having dozens of installers that do god knows what to Windows and its registry, thus being able to simply copy paste your X-Plane install as a backup whenever and however you please). Think of it this way: to anyone coming to FSX/P3D from X-Plane, terms like meshes, textures and landclass, global bases and vectors and what not will make equally little sense while they are likely obvious to you. Just like any serious sim, X-Plane's environment has a learning curve to it. Once you understand it, it's really a no-brainer: This is also a good read to help you understand the structure. Try this: It should solve all your qualms about scenery management in X-Plane. One of the downloads for the World2Xplane for Europe has installation instructions of basically 'delete all old files in world2xplane europe and replace with new ones', well what if you have no clue how to install them in the first place!!! And people wonder why Xplane has never taken off as much as the Xplane community wants it to? Those links above for World2Xplane, Meshes and Ortho4XP (whatever that is!) just link to a series of downloads with no explanation of how to install. With airport scenery I just have to make sure the scenery library is in the right order which is really easy. With P3D my Orbx scenery just installs perfectly because the installer does it all. Jimmy, thanks for your comments but the posted link from xplane 123 above highlight my issues perfectly. XP is no different than FSX/P3D in that it has a bit of a learning curve if you want to fly anything but the default scenery. I did that from scratch a couple of years ago, it took at least a week or so to make it all perfect. Or, the mega-job of trying to install the awesome photoreal scenery for the Hawaii islands chain + the various FSDT airports + George Keough's freeware airports and make it all work together. I'll be honest - I fly FSX+P3D+XP, and I've had far more difficult times troubleshooting Orbx scenery issues in FSX/P3D. The object libraries serve to point out just how rich the freeware scene is in XP though them, there's a vast collection of objects that anyone else can place in their airport scenery. Plus, there's a few tools available that try to help automate the process a bit. The bit about some airport scenery needing tons of libraries can indeed be a bit of annoyance, but once you have said libraries (and there's only really half a dozen essential ones), then it becomes a non-issue. Might not be as automated as working with the scenery library in FSX/P3D, but it's not nearly as complex either, since there's very little layering that you have to be aware of. It's pretty much all just moving a downloaded folder into where it needs to go, and ensuring that it loads up in the proper order so that it isn't covered up by something else. I'd highly recommend coming over to the XP forum and asking for installation tips - none of it is difficult once you learn a bit. Some airport scenery requires up to seven different libraries to be downloaded to not get an error. Unless you understand how Xplane scenery works installing anything but the meshes and airports is terrible. Found it so difficult to do I just gave up. I tried to install World2Xplane scenery into my Xplane.
