Mesh spikes (a few in Southern Louisiana, in NE Alaska around the Canadian border, and one in Massachusetts) – these are coming from the source elevation data.In v3 there will still be OSM based roads inside airport boundaries, but they are eliminated from runways / tarmacs / taxiways. Roads all over the airports – this was a bug of the scenery generator. ![]() Intermittent Water features (and OSM tag) removed (quite common in Canada).This was a very long standing, and annoying problem (or side-effect) of the scenery generator, which I could finally fix to a level, where the internal forests patches look much more natural now (the orthogonal/square pattern is now definitely mostly gone). Square (orthogonal boundary lines) forest areas inside large forest stands (where inside the big stand the forest type changes – often visible in Canada, or where you have large, extended forests).It turned out (thanks to a user report), that in Northern Europe, I did a misinterpretation of the underlying, raw landclass data, and thus introduced too many forests (where normally the land would be wet grassland –> “inland marshed” and “peat bogs”).Much smaller forest type changes are now correctly depicted, bringing more versatility to the forest landscapes.Latest airport data (end of September 2014) boundaries used, to have up to date airport areas.This doesn’t changes much in areas which were already great, but fixes some which were really hosed. (was in v2) Completely replaced the elevation data with (if you have a few cents, donate to that guy!).(was in v2) added differentiation between irrigated / non-irrigated crops (in some regions – like the USA etc.).There is a nice description of this by Albert (the texture master) on : follow this link (was in v2) added differentiation between ice (perennial) and snow (more temporal) to have an even more detailed representation of mountains.(was in v2) some new classes added (in many regions), like: moraines, riverbeds, mining/dump sites.(was in v2) Japan has now its own higher resolution landclass data.(was in v2) completely replaced the landclass data for Canada (big improvements).Europe received forest detail improvements by mixing in “Landsat Tree Cover Continuous Field” data.Australia has now its own higher resolution landclass data.Himalaya region has its own high resolution landclass data.Many smaller and larger landclass data improvements.(was in v2) Uses improved urban zoning (thanks to improved algorithms in the scenery generator).Water features (lakes / rivers) in Canada are now sourced from original government data instead of OSM (because OSM had some quite big gaps).(was in v2) It includes line rivers from OSM (not just polygons as before) tagged waterway=river which improves the landscape in most regions quite a bit.water features (lakes, rivers, coastline) – many previously missing water features are now finally there.It is based on fresh Openstreetmap (OSM) data from: approximately 10th of October 2014 / for Himalaya end of April 2015 / South America 25th of October 2015, which brings (compared to default Global Scenery) a lot of improvements in:.The higher resolution mesh allows a much more detailed/exact representation of the underlying landclass data (because of the smaller triangles, which can follow landclass changes in the raw data more closely).The higher resolution mesh allows for a much more detailed representation of the elevation profile of the landscape.It is a much higher resolution base mesh (more, smaller triangles) compared to the default Global Scenery which ships with X-Plane 10 (one could say: approximately 3-4-times more dense).(some improvements were mostly in v2 too, but some are new to v3) #X plane 10.50 download#Detailed coverage map (NOT the download map – look further down the page!)
