X-Plane 11 „Enriched Autogen“ • Technical specs and setup you'll find below. • Audio transcription (short version): • As X-Plane 11 beta came out I was very surprised about the quality and detail of objects like buildings. Even the default landclass textures have improved. Laminar has announced that they will add more and more regional autogen buildings and objects in future updates of X-Plane 11. If you compare these new X-Plane buildings to w2xp objects and buildings, the w2xp libraries look like LEGO bricks and outdated. The most annoying thing about w2xp sceneries, especially the ones from simheaven.com is, the lack of vegetation like trees within towns and cities, urban and suburban areas. Although you have every house right in place, the scenery looks quite unrealistic without urban or suburban vegetation. • The second point are ortho photos.To make scenery and flights realistic, you definitely have to turn on „draw shadows on scenery“ in graphic settings, otherwise everything would look flat and boring. But if you use more than three Ortho4XP tiles in a row, you will loose about 10 to 15 fps when you turn shadows on. I did intensive tests about that with public beta version 6. I suppose it is a memory issue within X-Plane 11. My final thought: As long as there is no function like „Extend DSF“ (to turn it off) as it is in rendering settings of X-Plane 10, I have to get rid of ortho photos. • In the past with X-Plane 10 I wanted everything to appear very accurate as it is „in real life“. But with X-Plane 11 my mind has changed. Now I want it less accurate but more lively. • Thus I decided to go back to the roots. Now I come to the point. X-Plane 11 in default is really not bad at all. I started to reuse HD and UHD meshes created and published by alpilotx.net. I created a special w2xp layer which I call „enriched autogen“. This layer contains objects which are important for VFR flights, like wind power, chimneys, churches, lighthouses and antennas. It includes as well some graphical enhancements like piers, boats, as well as additional vegetation like shrubs and beach polygons. Boats for example are placed along piers and on water surfaces like lakes. • I was looking for a solution to combine the detailed terrains offered by HD and UHD meshes with current road network and autogen data. This is where Ortho4XP and my custom w2xp scenery comes into play. I use Ortho4XP only to generate its so called overlay layer (this is the y-folder) out of X-Plane 11s default scenery. I do not use it anymore for generating ortho photos. My custom w2xp enriched autogen layer suppresses the regular autogen scenery, so you have to place my custom w2xp layer between the HD meshes folder and the y-folder from Ortho4XP. The overlay layer (y-folder) of Ortho4XP is placed on top. Here you go! Once alpilotx will update his HD and UHD meshes (hopefully he will do this in the future) the y-folder of Ortho4XP can be set aside. • • I decided to release my scenery project Enriched Autogen on Dropbox, so now you can try it on your own!
