November 15, 201213 yr http://secure.simmarket.com/taburet-xp-earth-alaska-for-x-plane-10.phtml What is XPEarth ? XP Earth is a Lod Controlled Photorealistic scenery designed using 15 m resolution satellite images which are perfect for design photorealistic scenery to be displayed at Lower LOD or at further distance from your plane position. This is the first Ever scenery of this Kind Designed for Xplane. How does it work ? XPEarth is completely transparent around plane position and start to show at a distance of around 4 - 6 miles - blending into the default scenery perfectly. This allow a high realistic view of the area covered and yet using this technique we are able to keep default high resolution textures around our plane Or any other textures addon you have installed. The advantages comparing to other type of Xplane photorealistic scenery are: Much Much smaller downloads; Faster Loading Time; Require much much smaller hard disk space; Compatible with any other addons available which are completely visibile. The circle of transparency beneath our plane decrease as the plane gain altitude and increases as the plane loose altititude. For example: a plane is parked at an airport on the ground - around me i see default scenery - or any addons you have installed - XPEarth will be only visible at distance. As i take off and gain altitude the photorealistic scenery will gradually expand to eventually cover 100 % of my view. XPEarth Alaska covers the whole of Alaska !
November 15, 201213 yr Well, its certainly a more verdant depiction of the earth than XP default........... We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

November 15, 201213 yr This sounds like FSAltitude, but for X-Plane. I really like FSAltitude. Robert Yunque

November 22, 201213 yr The coloring seems too saturated to me, or is that just my imagination? Robert Yunque
November 22, 201213 yr From the screenshots, those textures seem to be derived from "classic" 14,25m res Landsat mosaics, which in their "default" coloring look like that. Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landsat_program Or here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Landsat Andras Fabian / Alpilotx Visit www.alpilotx.net, a site about X-plane scenery You can see some landscape and other photographs from me here: http://www.flickr.co...s/weathermaker/
