NL2000 EHAM Scenery

[Fi5kuS 57]

Anyone tried this scenery? Maybe its just for FSX, but it managed to install it flawlessy into P3D 2.5. However, the performance was terrible, and their forums are just in dutch language. 

 

Here's a link: http://www.nl-2000.com/nuke/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=247

 

Apparently, they have a lot of great scenery and photopacks for Netherlands.

NL2000 has photo real coverage of all of The Netherlands. All this is FREEWARE by the way. 

 

Also if you scroll down far enough you will get to the english speaking forums.

I tried EHAM and some others from NL2000 in P3D2, but like you say, performance of EHAM was terrible and I noticed some problems with autogen vegetation disappearing around those airports.

Ok thanks for the replied everyone. I'll open a thread at their forum and ask for tips.

A couple of days ago, NL2000 posted that they are now working on P3D2 compatibility and I've been trying out some airports and it looks very promising.

Especially EHAM is a big airport and you'll notice this in VAS use, but it's very manageable. At least on my system. And I didnt see any scenery flaws at all

To me it seems that NL2000 is ready to give it a go in P3D2.5

The libraries installer has a nasty habit of messing with too many stock files in my opinion (to the point of being destructive); if you make it past that point alive, installation of the sceneries is easy, and they are indeed very good.

 

I love flying the Viper to EHLW Leeuwarden (as it is one of the alternates for the Danish F-16's), the NL2K version is among the best military air base sceneries I have ever seen.

I have indeed seen problems when I tried NL2000 in P3D2, about a year ago, but so far I havent noticed anything wrong with the new installers, but I'll keep my eyes open.

 

I must say, the 2 airports I tried are version 4.06 airports, I havent had a look at airports that are still earlier versions. EHAM and EHEH are 4.06 already and there's also a 4.06 library available now.

For better VAS handling go into the NL 3D folder / scenery.

 

Take out the effect and building files...

Leave the Object files...

I opened a thread at their forum asking them if EHAM really was supposed to be compatible with P3D (2.5), but did not receive any response.

 

I don't have any VAS issues with this scenery, but the performance was to bad for my standards (compared with what I can get achieve at FlyTampa Copenhagen for instance).

With the 4.05 version my FPS was horrible, but I notice that the 4.06 is a lot better on my system, already. I'm doing 40FPS now, with partially cloudy weather from ASN with 5 cloud layers, but I must say, I dont have any traffic running at the moment. But with 40FPS, some traffic wouldnt hurt.

Hm, have to check which version I'm running. Are you perhaps also using FTX Global+OpenLC+Vector? That could explain my performance issues but FPS goes beyond the roof when departing EHAM. 

[Demious 23]

In the Netherlands I've got FTX Global/Vector/OpenLC and FreeMeshX, indeed.

 

But I'm mostly a GA flier, so I couldnt tell you what, for isntance, a PMDG 777 would do.

When I used FSX-MS, this was the only scenery when I got OOM after few minutes using my standard settings.

Did not a get a try with FSX-SE yet.

[Fi5kuS 57]

Sounds like we are experiencing completely different scenarios. I think its related to the use of other 3rd party add-ons and the version of this scenery.

I've had a look at the other side of the airport (north side) and starting my flight at the north side, my fps is lower then when I come flying in at the south side. Taxiing from the gate at the north side, to the runway at the south side, I notice that fps is very unstable, it peaks and dips. Still, over the whole, I stay above 25fps and the instability doesnt give me any stutters or pauses.

Clearly this airport is still a work in progress, but for me it's good enough to use.
