World2Xplane

Provided a link to overlays that pretty much cover the whole of the world. These are with the highest settings. There may be FPS issues if you have a less powerful computer.

Not working with xplane 11 ..looked at you tube videos and so forth...any help would be appreciated. I have OpenX lib..W2X World..R2 lib...no luck. im guessing these are for xplane 10 only.

You should be able to just put them straight into your Custom Scenery folder

[PvWolf666]

Just tested again. Seems to be working on mine. Maybe its your placement in the scenery folder

[TR_CyberRacer]

i just put them in the W2XP World folder in my custom scenery file and it seems to be working. Eventho the intructions say to extract into just the custom scenery folder. When i do that i get an error msg..when i put into the world folder no error and Chicago looks alot better!

[PvWolf666]

Have you got the other dependent files in that folder. Might be why. My files are all just in the Custom scenery folder

These work great for EU areas. For North America the scenery provided is VERY sparse.

It appears the poster used the default configuration files for the entire world.

For areas outside the EU the configuration files must be modified extensively to get similiar results. This was not done.

The few buildings that were picked up from OSM look good and are properly placed, but these are very very few in number.

Ortho4XP's overlays provide more, but with less accuracy and the autogen scenery of .10 gives you much better coverage with very little accuracy.

It would be nice if we could layer the scenery linked to in the first post, over Ortho4XP scenery, and that over autogen scenery, with the layer above excluding just buildings and airports from the layer below.

Or better still the poster of the linked scenery could fix the configuration files and regenerate the scenery properly for the rest of the world.

Fixing the config files is NOT an easy task... I've gotten mixed results.

I’m actually more interested in accurate placement of buildings, roads and railroads, as well as lighting than the amount of buildings

[PvWolf666]

I may get around to doing the USA myself at some point but for me this is a quick and easy fix

[opjose]

Fix?

There are practically NO buildings in the uploaded World2XP overylays.

They were not done correctly.

[PvWolf666]

Weird, I get loads of buildings

[PvWolf666]

Just testing at the same airport in the middle of nowhere the difference with and without

[PvWolf666]

Yeah, ur spot on man. A lot less trees n all. I'll be dumping the USA and finding a better version.

[IMPERIAL]

OP thanks for sharing, thank you to the author.

Yup the North and South America files all exhibit this same problem.

You actually get better far more buildings with Ortho4XP overlays.

It's too bad because the files in the link the OP posted had very accurate placements and sizes for those very few buildings it puts up.
