Real Land Israel 0.7.2W

Real Land Israel is an on going project to populate the country , as real as it could be.

A while ago we released V0.7 of this project , however we decided to organize things so that there will be 3 parts of the project: The middle part of the country , the northern one and eventually the southern part.

 

V 0.7W focus is on the middle part mainly to cover all Ben Gurion Intl (LLBG) airport approaches and departures , fully covered with thousands of hand placed custom autogen and hundreds of Land Marks in the area.

More over , we included 2 heliports In "Ichilov" and "tel hashomer" hospitals , and a BETA version of Sde Dov (LLSD) which will be enhanced in the future.

Eventually , our goal is to cover CVFR routes around the country and also some main local airports.

 

Before Installation

- This project should be used with *64BIT* version only due to memory limits in the 32BIT one.

 

- Please remove any scenery for Israel , including the former Version of this project.

 

- Open Scenery X is *required* (The newest version from 30 May 2015!!) : http://www.opensceneryx.com/

Performance

 

Please note that this project is meant to be used with modern hardware , just like Xplane when you use it in high settings.

Our recommendation is to run this project with HDR ON.

The first thing that you should check is your VRAM consumption , focusing on the textures resolution , this project may consume A LOT of video memory.

 

These are our suggestions based on our tests , however it may vary because it's not an accurate science:

 

- If you have a 6GB+ card you can use "Extreme" AND "compress textures to save Vram" OFF

- If you have a 4GB+ card you can use "Extreme" AND "compress textures to save Vram" ON

- If you have a 2GB+ card you can use "Very High" AND "compress textures to save Vram" OFF

- If you have a 1GB+ card you can use "high" AND "compress textures to save Vram" ON

 

If you have less than 1GB of Vram it's not recommended to run this project.

 

 

Known Issues

 

- Sometimes , even though you didn't exceed your Vram limit , when first loading Xplane frames will go up slowly and then get stuck on ~10FPS.

It's NOT a bug in our project , we think it may be related to Xplane itself , however you can wait a couple of minutes to get those lost frames , or you can go to your Rendering settings , change the AA settings , go back to the flight , and then again in your Rendering settings you can go back to your original AA.

 

- Some parts of the ground are censored/pixelated , it's  *NOT * a bug.

When we will release airports , we will enhance the censored/pixelated areas around them.

 

Before reporting a BUG , please make sure you perfectly followed all the instructions.
