Generally How Well are Freeware Sceneries Porting to 2024?

Featured Replies

I've found some appear as 2020 and others don’t load in at all. So far haven’t been able work out what makes the difference.

I've been to a few of mine and it's better than expected overall. Painted lines and aprons from the SDK have ported over in an improved manner. Custom ones haven't fared very well and show up as the too low res they are, or have lost their opacity. 

Haven't seen too many elevation problems, but there are some here and there. 

A couple have buildings that shouldn't be there. Some animations are broken, but odd ones like hangar doors rather than the obvious ones. 

Everything is taking so long to load that I can't tell in some cases whether something is sub par, or simply hasn't fully materialised yet. 

Problem is a minor 2024 tweak involves an epic journey of remaking all the models so it works properly. The more I read about that, the more of a grind it sounds. 

Some folk are saying they'll only develop in 2020 and let users drop it into 2024, but there are likely to be 2024-specific problems that can't be addressed that way. 

I'm busy lounging around at the moment so I've yet to settle on what to do. 

There's also the question of the new aerial images in both iterations, plans for which seem a bit woolly.

Zero point doing anything if everything moves again in a few weeks. I'm pretty sure Earth doesn't do that.

Anyone tested Fly Tampa KBOS yet? I would but not currently able to.

Yes it works.

That would be sensible! Do you have any guesses as to why some sceneries appear (at least partially) and some don't at all?

Not really. I haven't yet experienced that. Do they share a similar characteristic? Size? Location?

There were plenty of times when they wouldn't load at all for me, but I think that was down to general sluggishness. 

There are a couple of priority problems. Helgoland is showing a bunch of weird buildings, but the Asobo WU version also has the same problem.

Nothing I've noticed so far. Seems to be a bit of a lottery.

The Asobo Handcrafted ones seem to take priority though and will load over any conflicts until we have a way to disable them..

Lmao there is no way to disable them? Wow.

But it's going to be a long path and even some blocker like the LoD problem which is a blocker for me.

Had some time to fly around Bowerman and liked it!  However, the LOD issue is indeed noticeable, and once you see it, you cannot unsee it.. 🫢

Hopefully, a dev workflow will become available that allows Lana's Cafe to be visible further out.

Even if it were to fade in, it would be better than popping in, as it does now..

Duplicate scenery can be removed after the second coming of the content manager. It will appear in the clouds and come to save us all. It will descend to us all, along with the new glorified marketplace.

Die someone test the beautiful LEPA scenery by Euroscene?

If I try to load it into 24 it won‘t be show up  in the sim, just the default Airport.
