No Planes, Just Scenery

[Comanche]

I live in NYC and because of that, I bought every Scenery for the area for FSX and X-plane, not to mention freeware for the area.

 

These shots are of NYC which is a combination of Aerosoft's Manhattan X with the Freedom Tower from Drzewieki Designs NYC converted to XPX. I picked buildings that look best in each rendition, Also shown are payware renditions of La Guardia and JFK and Skymaxx Pro for Clouds and Sky.

 

I also added a lot of freeware buildings available on the web (Empire State building and Statue of Liberty) and a NYC ortho file to sit under it all.   Its not done yet. I have a lot of work to do. Many Open Street Map buildings are still bleading through addon buildings and some textures are missing, but using the WED editor and the overlay editor in X-Plane, I am fixing them all one by one by creating exclusion areas to mask out the offending autogen. 

 

Frame rates are remarkable good, considering the large number of buildings. I'm still getting in the high 20's to low 30's.

 

X-plane is kind of like a lump of clay in this way. I'm not that good with this stuff and If I can do it anyone can. I still use FSX and P3d regularly, but X-plane seems the easiest for me to tweak scenery in. Don't like the way something looks? Change it!

Sometimes we forget the world in which we fly and focus on only our toy airplanes.  Remarkable series indeed.  Thanks much.  Outstanding work.  I applaud your efforts

Very nice screenshots.

 

One question, however, since I haven't been involved at all with XP10, what are the letters and arrows in the lower left of the screenshots?

 

I've seen this before in other shots, and am curious as to what they are for.

 

Thanks.

An inter city NYC helicopter tour would be great

They are short icons for an aircraft, Carenado I believe. Allows you to change cockpit views, open close doors etc

Looks great, a little flat on lighting but nice.
