Except, and quite possibly updated all sorts of data, what else I'm getting? Will it place proper forests and many trees in towns and cities, unlike Global Forests v2? I'm not going into nitpicking the differences, but trying to determine if is it worth getting.good question. id also like to know this.

One would have to walk on grass to get to their building.

July 31Jul 31 For me it was an absolute no-brainer. I've send more money to them already than now buying it for $35 ;) X-Plane without simHeaven and Ortho is possible, but pointless ;)

July 31Jul 31 So it is better for now to stick with the freeware version of Simheaven? Alexander Colka
July 31Jul 31 Moderator It's still OSM + MS building footprints + heights + the now closed Google Sketchup 3D warehouse. However, now it's just generated again with OSM2Xplane instead of World2XPlane (since that's what eventually turned into the TrueEarth sceneries and couldn't be used commercially as it's now owned by Orbx and not myself). Perhaps people have too high expectations on what it actually does?. At the end of the day, it's similar as before, but now you're paying to support the effort to build and host these, encourage more work, fix problems etc. Considering he's been hosting these for as long as I can remember for free and spending lots of time generating them, I think that's only fair he gets something out of it.In my view (and from painful experience 😊), the scenery could lose most of the unnecessary stuff such as park benches, bus stops, cemeteries etc, it just drags the sim down and makes it take longer to load and uses more memory etc. Nobody will ever see these things once up in the air.

Better elevation model and "real" placement of imagery plays so well with the high-resolution overlays that X-WORLD provides. The default overlays are really only good for the default ("plausible") X-Plane world.Notice for Ortho-users: Many (like me) might not like the new draped polygons over meadows and farmland.
