Now that I have a high end CPU (9800X3D) and GPU (4070 S) I've found a whole new set of things to adjust. I am on a 1 GB Xfinity connection and the system has 128GB of NVMe rolling cache. Sim is running at 75+ FPS with TLOD 400 / OLOD 200 / Buildings and Clouds at Ultra, everything else at High. GPU is at 98% load but only 9GB of 12GB GPU memory is in use. CPU is about 45% busy and only 28 GB of 64 GB system memory is committed. Flying at 4,000' AGL in Idaho mountains I see a lot of scenery popping when I look out the side windows or switch to external camera. Some of that scenery that pops into place is within a couple miles of the plane as it flies. Is there anything I can do to eliminate or reduce the scenery popping into place? -
Hi, im having a problem with the scenery. Sometimes i get some sort of blue holes on the ground, but this only happens sometimes. When this happens a "sea" is formed in front of me. And below this i see a black stick or column alike line. I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance, tatin 98

Here are some first PREVIEW screenshots (mostly from the European Alps) of my upcoming new X-Plane 10 HD Scenery Mesh v2! https://picasaweb.google.com/101666907909842492197/XPlane10HDMeshV2PREVIEW (it seems Picasa has somehow blown up the saturation of the images ... don't know why) A short list of the improvements: increased mesh density improved forest representation (in Europe, reprocessed/improved raw forest landclass data) all new OSM data (streets, railways, power lines, water) linear OSM rivers included (Tag:waterway=river) some - minor - landclass tweaking (like strip mines or riverbeds etc.). Planned coverage: Europe (this time, entire Europe) USA (complete) Alaska possibly parts of Canada (like the West) ... etc. (depends on the data size ... but this time the single DSFs will be even larger, so ...) Release? Hopefully this summer (most of the things are already in place, but there are a few things - partly not in my hand - which need to happen before).

Hello , I was just wondering if anyone out there knows of a scenery being made for OMAA for FSX , or if there is any freeware scenery packages out there. I know of one in the library created by Richard Reed made for FS2004 but when installed in FSX it shows black texturing. Regards, Marcus

I've been wanting to write this post for a while now and here goes: I really just want one thing from X-plane at this time: one area of the world, it doesn't have to be huge, with the same level of detail as an Orbx region. I want landmarks, airports, seasonal changes, the whole she-bang. I want to be able to immerse myself in a corner of the world that looks real. I don't care if it is Egypt, Australia or PNW, it just has to be real. To feel reel... X-plane is my favorite sim. It does so many things right and there is a lot of nice payware planes, but we need that one piece of scenery to rock the X-world. PS. Alpilotx's New Zealand scenery is very nice, but it lacks landmarks and airports. Developers: consider yourself encouraged :-) -

Hi. I am not new to FSX but am new to this forum. I have been running FSX acceleration on my computer for some while, and apart from a few small glitches all worked well.. Unfortunately, originally I had a French version of Windows 7 64 bit. I changed to an English version of Win 7 64 and then p[roceeded to reinstall FSX and all the add ons that I had accumulated. Everything appeared ok until one day while flying close to Dinard in Brittany I saw what appeared to be a curtain or wall of scenery reaching up from the ground to the heavens. It appeared to travel with me and increased in length in front but decreased behind as I travelled. As I was flying IFR at the time I resolved to examine this lated. I did this but could find no apparent reason. I unistalled then reinstalled FSX accleration and checked the scenery again without any add ons. The scenery was perfect. I then reinstalled my add ons, (Iknow I should have checked after each add on installation, but didn't). Of course the problem was back. If you try to fly through then wall you suddenly find yourself at over 50,000 feet, which in a light aircraft causes a few problems. The line seems to run almost exactly north to south, with gaps where there is water or a road running through at ground level. You can fly through the gaps with no adverse affect. It starts at the edge of the sea near St. malo and travels due south towards Rennes. I am not sure iof it reaches Rennes or goes on south from there as I got rather upset by it. I thought one of the causes might have been a crosswind runway that I put in at Bordeaux airport using ADE9X. I have enclosed a screenshot of the fault. I have tried downloading and installing a new terrain mesh for Europe but this has had no effect at all. I would be most grateful of any suggestions (other than reinstalling the whole lot again, because that is the only thing I can think of anyway). -
Release is very soon of this latest airport scenery from LatinVFR. Access their web site and forum with screen shots via Simmarket. This will be another winner as Bermuda, Miami, and Key West. Thank you Ricardo and the LatinVFR team Don Billings

This video is showcasing the beautiful landscape of the free (donationware) X-Plane 10 scenery New Zealand Pro created by me (a few months ago). Its my first experiment with a "larger" video, as I haven't done much (well, nothing) in this area before (especially as I am on Linux ... but I was surprised how polished video tools are nowadays). The scenery can be freely downloaded from my website: http://www.alpilotx....ew-zealand-pro/ Music is by Mike Andrews from http://audiofarm.org/mikeandrews. Titles are: softness strings and guitar

I wanted to start a thread for those of you who own payware scenery packages for FSX such as Flytampa, Aerosoft, etc. Would like to make a thread to discuss conversion settings, issues, etc with other members on here. Which scenery package have you had success with and or minimal trouble converting? I have had minimal issues with converting FlyTampa Dubai, Hong Kong and St. Marteen for use with X-Plane 10. But I had to do a little cleanup afterwards and there are still a few weird issues with multiple runways not lining up properly and such. I almost have a good working FlyTampa Hong Kong conversion except for the runway issue and a few other things not lining up properly. I had an error while converting about having duplicate airport entries in a bgl file, so I had to delete that file and rerun the conversion in order to let it complete. I think this is one of the reason why my airport isn't looking perfect. I have quite a few more addons for FSX that I'd like to convert for X-Plane use. Such as Aerosoft Manhattan X, San Francisco, ImagineSim VHHH Chek Lap Kok, etc. If those of you who own any of these packages and would like together and help each other out on getting these conversions almost perfect, that would be great. -
people once again need your help what happens next in flight load distant stage, or distant vision scenario is very diffuse and not well detailed. What you're missing on FSX.CFG? or perhaps in fsx options? :blink: :blink: attach several images to demonstrate Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!1

Question: I DO NOT want to add MY Traffic or any other traffic add on to my sim.... I have it fully loaded of add ons and I dont want to mess it up or take a performance hit. However, when I arrive at my favorite airports in North America.... Im the only plane there (I have all traffic sliders @ 0%). So all the gates at the airports bellow (all add ons) are empty gates.... 1- All FSDT titles 2- All Fly Tampa titles 3- Some Imagin Sim titles Is there a way that I can permanently park different livery planes at gates so when I arrive I see a fuller airport? I DO NOT want them to move or have scheduled routes... I just want them to sit there and look pretty. Any advice on software to do this?

Since this is one of my favorite areas to fly around, I wanted to know if there's any payware or freeware scenery that covers the entire Hawaii Islands? I know Frede has done an excellent job with freeware airports that cover a lot of this area, but I would like to make this area complete as possible. If there are any photoscenery available, I'd love to know about it. I can't really find anything out there that will make flying this area more visually enjoyable.

I got FSX several months ago but due lack of time and out of money, I cannot continue to play and "invest money" into it. Now I've just bought a new SSD to install my win7 into it and put the 250GB totally for FS9 and FSX. I have only installed Fs9 first and then FSX. Adding addons into Fs9. I currently have no addons for FSX. Since I don't know where to start with. Searching Word Not Allowed and Nick's guide for FSX tweak. Hope it helps. In Fs9, I installed FSGlobal2010 first, and then Ultimate Terrain for USA and Europe ( I fly mainly in USA). How about in FSX, which scenery addons should I install for start ? Mainly USA. Thanks all! Ah,BTW, if I'm correct my FSGlobal2010 also can install for FSX. So does FSX need it? Or are there any better one for mesh?

For those of you like me who longed for some realistic trains to set on the tracks, Dan French has finally given us our wish. He has created a library of over 50 classic American late steam era and early diesel era trains including the liveries of the famous Daylight of Southern Pacific and the famed Super Chief Streamliner and the universally used and loved Pullman passenger cars as well as freight cars and a caboose. Thank you Dan, much appreciated, and there is even a LA late era streetcar, these are designed to work on both FS9 and FSX and with some work can be made to run in AI mode, tho we are still doing research and hope to release some add on packages to install them in major cities and ideal locations. With some re skinning they can work for just about any train of any era. Filename: dlf_lib_classicamericantrains.zip License: Freeware, limited distribution Added: 14th March 2013, 04:13:17 Downloads: 251 Author: Dan French Size: 3814kb File Description: This library contains over 50 models of locomotives (steam and diesel), freight cars, and heavyweight and streamline passenger cars to help you fill your tracks with rail equipment. Built in FS9 modelling, they should work in both FS2004 and FSX sceneries. Night lighting included on some engines and passenger cars. By Dan French. A great help and contribution to the sim world. thank you Dan. Chris

Hello everyone. Im just getting back into FSX after a while away. I would like to get some scenery ( Usa only ) and even then really only interested in east of the Mississippi. I have looked @ some of the commercial options available, I believe one developer has scenery packs for individual states. Mega scenery perhaps. Anyways, my questions are as follows: 1) will any add on scenery, still allow me to also add-on specific airports from developers if available? 2) of the available scenery options out there including payware & freeware ( if any exists ) who will have the best. most detailed, realistic scenery? 3) Are there certain types of scenery i should purposely stay away from? I hope this isnt the wrong forum for this, I looked for an hour , and only found a scenery developers forum & not really interested in making my own. Thanks in advance

Hi, I purchased the Imagine Sim scenery for VIDP yesterday. The problem I am facing is that there are trees in the middle of one of the runways. To be more precise, in the middle of the main runway, 29-11. Can anybody help me remove these so that i can use the scenery? I would like to mention : 1) I bought a new system and installed FSX on the same day as i installed the imagine sim scenery. So there is no other payware/freeware existing scenery that might overlap. 2) Just to give a background : The default scenery does not contain rwy 29-11 as this is a new runway and was built recently. Probably due to this reason, the default scenery has trees where rwy 29-11 is supposed to be. And when i load the imagine sim VIDP airport, the default scenery does not get suppressed and is overlapping with the payware scenery. Any help or solution to this problem would be highly appreciated. Please let me know if i can provide any further information. I have attached pictures to give you a better idea of my problem Thanks! P.S : I am all for the environment and even though removing trees is not a wise idea, as you can guess, i would not like to land my aircraft in the middle of a forest

Hi all, I was wondering if you should deselect every item in your Scenery library if you're not planning to fly there. My FSX start-up time is pretty long, so i guess disabling/deleting a few items could shorten that. But since i sometimes fly in Europe and sometimes in USA and several ORBX areas around the world, that would mean a lot of work. Now i only pay attention to the sequence/order of items. Does FSX performance (loading time wise AND framerate/FPS whilst in-flight) suffer from a long scenery library, or does FSX only load the scenery for the region you fly in, and then in-flight dynamicly load scenery as to where you are heading/flying? Just curious! Hope you guys can help me out. Mark

First off I would just like to say Hello and thanks for having me in your community, however this is not the appropriate time for hellos. for I have a NOVICE SCENERY QUESTION! Alright so I have been looking around the net and it doesn't appear to be a very popular question asked (or my internet searching just sucks) but anyway I have a specific scenery question. I like to do a lot of flying in Tri-Cities, Washington As you can see a distinctive feature are those 3 bridges. Is there anyway I can add those bridges to the default scenery? The main bridge, known as the cable bridge already has a sketchup model and I know you can edit scenery with sketchup (from what I've read) I have never edited FSX scenery before so I apologize for my novice-ness. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I'm looking for recommendations on scenery and airports for FSX. I have the following installed: FSGenesis North America, Atlantic, Mexico, South America and part of Northern Europe/Asia, Ultimate Terrain X - USA and Aerosoft Approaching Innsbruck X. I like what I see in the one Aerosoft product that I have. What about the other airports they offer? What about freeware? Should I install Ultimate Terrain X - Europe? How 'bout various products offered from Flyawaysimulation? Any help will be appreciated? Thanks, Jim Driskell

Have you guys used this scenery? It's awesome. Such great work and it's free. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFnh-77I5QE He has a website with other addons for X-Plane such as replacement HD meshes, and other stuff. Just thought I pass this along for you guys to check out.

I'm considering buying several Aerosoft US Cities X scenery add-ons. (The discussion in a thread last summer touched on a few questions I have about the them but didn't answer the questions. http://forum.avsim.n...es#entry2420911 ) The sim stores description blurb for each of these scenery titles says, "It is clearly intended to fill the gap between the default scenery and very high dense city scenery such as Manhattan X, London VFR or Venice X. Because the file size is rather large due to the ground image it only includes one season (in most cases this is not a real issue) and no night textures. The VFR flights over these cities are mostly a day time affair anyway." So, since the scenery only shows one season and no night textures, is there a way to turn off the Aerosoft US Cities scenery for when you want to fly, say, during winter, or at night? Maybe a simple switch that applies in setting up the scenery? And supposing you are flying over downtown Chicago at night with the Aerosoft scenery installed, what textures end up being displayed? Is everything black? Or do default FSX textures become active?

I'm ready to buy some new scenery for the London area, including the city itself as well as the major regional airports. Which scenery add-ons, as single products or in combination, would you recommend for best visual detail? Between performance and visuals, I would rather sacrifice performance for better views. That the objects appear to be 3-dimensional is also important, as I want to be impressed by the views while flying at low altitudes, not just flying by high above all the interesting sights. Some of the choices I've been considering are Orbx England EU, Aerosoft VFR London X and City Airport, Aerosoft Mega Airport London-Heathrow X, UK2000 Heathrow Extreme and London City Extreme. (If this question has been recently discussed elsewhere, please point me to the appropriate thread(s).)

Hi folks...looking for a little help. Most of my scenery is Orbx US and ANZ...but I bit on end of year sales and bought MegScenery for Connecticut and Pennsylvania. They were really big downloads, and I then ran the installers and installed them in their own directory and added them ( I thought) to the scenery library. What I get now whenever I start up is an error as follows (wanted to post jpeg or pdf of the message but the rules are so strict and complicated I figured I'd just retype the error): SECENERY.CFG file error. Local scenery directory (..\MegaSceneryEarth\Connecticut\MegaSceneryEarth (possibly more characters cut off here) Connecticut 003\SCENERY) in scenery Area.156 not found. Click OK to continue. OK Can I get a little help or guidance on fixing this? My thought is to go back and delete all the MegaScenery files installed in a custom locatuion and redo the install using the C:\ etc defaults (even though my FSX is on E:\FSX BTW I do have 'Scenery Config Editor" as well as "Addit!Pro for FSX" Thanks!
