YPPF Parafield Airport and Adelaide City Photoreal
Version 1.1 Update
Mar 09, 2013
The International Scenery Development Group (ISDG)
__________________________________________________________
1.1 Update:
- Made city replacement terrain files "less green" by tightening the shrub overlay textures.
- Added night _LIT textures to the city; hence nighttime flying now looks like XP9 rather than completely dark.
- Fixed an over-sized DDS Texture - This scenery now loads in XP9 via the Compatibility Library.
XP9 Users, you can download : http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php/files/file/327-x-plane-10-compatibility-library-for-x-plane-9/
__________________________________________________________
Requirements:
- X-Plane 10.20 or better
- OpensceneryX 2.0 (http://opensceneryx.com/)
- A Modern Video Card with minimum 512 Mb VRAM, 1 Gb is highly recommended
- Ability to run at "Very High" texture resolutions (with compression enabled), else the effect is lost.
- X-Plane 64-bit and a 2 Gb VRAM Video card is recommended for the Highest Texture resolutions.
(No... We're not kidding... we will use every ounce of VRAM you have!)
__________________________________________________________
Installation:
Unzip and place folder "YPPF Parafield Airport and Adelaide City Photoreal" in your X-Plane/Custom Scenery/ folder.
- If VOZ is installed, then "YPPF Parafield Airport and Adelaide City Photoreal" must come before VOZ in the "scenery_packs.ini" file.
- If you are installing this for the first time, this scenery will automatically be placed first (which is correct, and will work immediately)
Uninstall:
Delete the "YPPF Parafield Airport and Adelaide City Photoreal" directory from your X-Plane/Custom Scenery/ folder.
