Earth Simulations scenery in P3D v3

Recommended Posts

Yeah I agree with that Christopher. I would love to complete the Channel Isles. I downloaded some freeware photoscenery for Jersey from the UK2000 website and use that along with the freeware version of Jersey airport also from UK2000. Obviously that's nowhere near ES quality but it's something at least.

Shawbury Fields all works ok as well now.  See framerate of 50+, was the same also in the majestic dash - all on an o/c'ed 2500K. I think this was kind of where Earth Sims was headed, but the scenery quality was so far advanced of both the sim itself and the hardware of the time. In P3D3.1, with the power of a 980Ti, this scenery gets eaten for breakfast and looks fabulous :) This is with just about everything on max settings-wise and DSR set to full 4k res. Darren and Vikki, if you're reading this, it's still damned fine and better than ever... Cheers k

Very nice Kevin, thanks for posting. Did you install inside or outside of your P3D folder

outside Elaine. There are just 2 scenery folders plus the autogen which is installed into the texture folders aligned with the photoscenery scenery folders (also on a separate drive) Cheers K

Just wanted to add my support for the proposed P3D V3 ES Install guide.

 

Shortly to install P3D V3 on a clean Installed Win 10 system (so no pre-existing file hierarchy) with Gen X Photo Scenery Vol. 1 through 10, Treescapes to match (except vol. 7 which I appear to have inadvertently deleted :( - see polite request photo scenery forum :) if you can help!). ES Alderney, Guernsey, Scillies, IOM & Shawbury Fields + VFR Airfields Vol. 1 - 3 + some Xtreme (UK 2000) + Scottish Airfields Vol. 1 - 3 (Scotflight)........so want to get it right!!  All advice greatly appreciated...

 

Intending to locate as much as possible in a dedicated scenery library folder/hierarchy if that is possible and/or recommended.

Great to hear people getting ES to work in P3D, it's such wonderful scenery. I bought all their islands, Shawbury plus the first/last Scotland pack and loved them in FSX but now using P3D exclusively. Just started reinstalling everything after a PC rebuild but I only have v2.5. I'm interested in the proposal but not sure about getting v3 just yet. Sounds like I can migrate ES to 2.5 though and if so I'll be very happy.

I got IOM working great,but with Guernsey,I have strange airport elevation issues.

Any idea how to solve? I have ORBX UK installed below this in the scenery library.

Any updates on the P3Dv3.1 install guide guys, I have boxed copies of IOM and Guernsey, would love to see these in P3D.

 

Cheers
