December 29, 201312 yr Moderator Whilst everyone is fussing over the new FTX Vector library, I rebuilt some OSM scenery for Switzerland using a few hacks which I've been working on, the results are really quite nice, especially at sunset/sunrise All scenery used is completely free, and includes: - HD Mesh v2 from alpilotx - Photo scenery from simheaven.com (but can be generated yourself using g2xpl (donationware) - OSM objects using OSM2XP with a few custom hacks, i.e. Street lights only applied to residential roads. Where tagged correctly, the effect is great, especially in areas like France/UK Forests and buildings with holes (i.e. Multipolygons) are rendered as well, this adds far more buildings and forests into some European areas where these are extensively used. Heights of buildings decreased from the default to only show 2 stories maximum if no height is defined. To me it's more realistic, but it's a matter of taste. Decreased LOD of buildings to 12km. It can still hit frame-rates quite hard in some areas like Zurich, but it's still possible to fly without it turning into a slideshow. I use a low gamma setting on my computer which makes the screenshots appear dark on some monitors. I actually prefer this than the bright colours of aerofly and FSX.
