Ok just for info I've made some tests. With the smart exclusions enabled the OSM Europe scenery below become visible and the buildings are doubled (you can also see a flickering effect by moving the view). With smart exclusions disabled (preset setting) I eventually get a OSM-only scenery (no autogen) and no double buildings.

Yes he used the poly files for tiles exclusions, but he states that he also uses smart exclusions so I suppose the scenery below comes out. I would like to generate a osm only scenery and get rid of xp autogen. Ty.

Tony, I've found the xd sceneries of simheaven.de being ok to be put over OSM Europe (no duplicate objects). Now what parameters should I change to get a OSM-only scenery, ie without xp autogen? I've read the manual but it's not clear to me how to do. Maybe disabling smart exclusions? Thanks again.

Thank you Tony for the explanation, but if I wanted to use the ready-to-use sceneries existing at simheaven.de would they work well with the exclusions so that no building is depicted twice? Anyways I'm gonna do some tests.. Thanks!!

Hi Tony, a quick question about what scenery to use if I want to have W2XP only for my country, but cohabiting with the rest of Europe in the OSM2XP format. I suppose I have to remove from OSM Europe the .dsf files relevant to my country (italy) so that only W2XP will show up without double buildings. But what happens on boundaries? Do holes remain beyond them? If I use the xd scenery (w/o smart exclusions) does the problem remain? Many thanks.

Can I fly the 727?

The problem for me is only Germany, all the other countries get loaded just fine.

I think I'm going laptop again, but a gaming one, just for w2xp! I'm watching the MSI GE series, very good rigs with haswell and gtx cards.

It's a good rig, I'd go with an i7 though if you can afford it... in for a penny, in for a pound

The best I've found so far is on the bay. Just put these three magic words in the search box under the category pc desktops: i7 4770 gtx. All the results, starting from £600, are capable of running well XPX w custom scenery and photoreal.

Removing the HD mesh and/or photoreal didn't help, BUT thanks to your and Tony's advice I've been patiently waiting with my plane paused in the middle of nowhere and... after 5-6 mins the tile appeared piece by piece. So now it's clear that it's related to slow data reading (w2xp too complex in this case) maybe due to cpu limit or the bus itself.

Thanks. If I start within the tile it takes 15 mins to load but it works eventually, the problem occurs when I fly to another tile which has not been loaded yet.

No because if I disable w2xp and use osm2xp for instance the tiles get loaded properly, and the problem occurs only with german scenery which is very dense and complex so I think it's my hardware limit.

Tried the autogen-free scenery of nord europe by simheaven and still the same issue of missed loaded tile when entering germany; in other countries the tiles gets loaded but with some stuttering. I'm thinking my hardware is not enough for w2xp

Ok try starting from EDDF and then go north east towards Berlin (i used a liner) when a new tile has to be loaded the problem occurs; another flight was from venice to Munich, when entering into germany no tile again..

It is not evident as far as XP vram counter is concerned but the effects indeed let me suppose so, I have only 1 gig vram but 8 gigs of ram.

The scenery won't appear or at least I haven't been so patient to give it enough time to load eventually.. In another case XP has given an error telling that 30 seconds had passed since no data could be loaded an then ended in CTD. This is happening with the Germany file which contains more than 220000 objects! I'll keep u updated.

My objects are at a lot so not much more than default, my hdd is 7200 but cpu is dual core 2.4 not so powerful

I see only water when the tile is being loaded in-flight with w2xp

Thank you Tony, I did all the things you have suggested but still no go, I think it's due to the complexity and number of objects being loaded in a short time, so I think to be hardware limited. A new pc is worth to buy though, the scenery really deserves it!

I've flown a test path from Frankfurt northward towards Hamburg to explore the beautiful scenery, but when a new tile needs to be loaded I see only water below! This happens only with w2xp enabled. Is it a bug or maybe my hdd is not fast enough? I've used the last scenery released by simheaven. Thanks. Cris

With your specs you shouldn't have problems at all at running xp at high settings with all that stuff enabled. I would consider a xp reinstall first than something else can be investigated

Is it lower than sd config already used on simheaven?

Sure I can live without if it makes germany flyable.. Looking for a "osm only" release
