Hello Friends, I have recently added Al Pilot HD2 mesh and Simhaven ZL17 Photoreal scenery for the Seattle area. There are a few non-airport areas (warehouses and farm fields) near my home that have trees where there shouldn't be. What program would I use to delete these trees? Would it be some sort of exclusion zone type arrangement? -Woog

Hi guys, Pete from the UK here. I'm just having a small issue with long loading and stuttering issues within X-Plane 10.25. As I take off into the air, I find that the simulator pauses in places (for a few seconds) and can shudder with a massive dip in frame rate (again, a few seconds). I have all of SimHeaven's Photo Scenery at ZL17 (donation coming within the next week or so!) and SkyMaxx Pro (all updated to the latest version). I have most settings turned to medium or high (many trees, but a lot of buildings). My FPS is usually in the region of 22FPS (min.) and 35/40FPS (max.). SkyMAXX Pro is turned right down, but with a greater draw distance to decrease loading intervals (from when it pauses and doesn't). I have been looking into it and have concluded that: 1. When the next scenery tiles loads, there is a long delay as the computer struggles to process the information and feed it into the simulator (they are hefty files so it is to be expected!) 2. When SkyMAXX is turned on, I get a pause every few minutes. I have looked at other posts and have found that it may be a loading issue and not SkyMAXX itself. I have also used the advice given here: http://forums.x-pilo...nusable-for-me/ in which the solution works and has noticeably improved delays. I'm aware that my usage of X-Plane is quite excessive, but have to state that it's an overwhelming and greatly satisfying experience. SimHeaven and SkyMAXX have done some amazing work! My question is: Has anyone overcome these limitations to prevent pauses and have an overly smooth experience? I have had advice of using an SSD to speed up loading times, but I'm not sure whether it's related to a hard disk or CPU/GPU? I have 6 hard disks: 1. Local Disk (C:) for Windows 8.1 2. X-PLANE MAIN HDD A (D:) for X-PLANE 10.25 (64-bit), World2XPlane OSM from SimHeaven and a range of other plugins 3. X-PLANE MAIN HDD B (E:) for SimHeaven Sceneries ZL17 4. X-PLANE MAIN HDD C (F:) for SimHeaven Sceneries ZL17 5. X-PLANE STORAGE HDD A (G:) for backup .zip files for SimHeaven Sceneries 6. X-PLANE STORAGE HDD B (H:) for backup .zip files for SimHeaven Sceneries My hard disks are not indexed and have write caching enabled and Windows write-cache buffer flushing turned off (increase response and performance). My system specification is: Intel Core i7 4770K Processor (8M Cache, OC @ 4.5GHz)Asus Z87-A LGA 1150 Mainboard (Z87-A)EVGA GTX770 GDDR5 4GB VRAM Graphics Card (04G-P4-3774-KR)Corsair Pro Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 DRAM (CMY32GX3M4A2133C11)Be Quiet!

Hello Friends, I am a new FSX convert who is loving the X-plane world! I have begun adding in scenery from Tom Curtis, Al Pilot, and SimHeaven. On the SimHeaven website FAQ they state: "Note that HD mesh files work only when there is no photo scenery active in this region, as photo sceneries have their own mesh, derived from standard x-plane dsf or from hd scenery mesh." Now I am confused, because the photosceneries come with there own mesh, but then they have a subsection that states: "HD Mesh v2 for photo sceneries ZL16/ZL17 for X-Plane 10.25 and up, derived on HD-Mesh v2 published by Andras Fabian, brings a higher resolution base mesh, much more detailed elevation profile and landclass data." On Andras site, he states they can not be used together, but there are no adverse reactions if you do. I don't get it. I want to use Al Pilot HD Mesh, as it will actually download. On America South ZL17 from SimHeaven, the download stops halfway through the 11.1gb download. Very frustrating! Do any of you have a sloution? I fly the West Coast US mainly, so this is the area I am most interested in. Thanks in advance, -Woog

Can someone clarify for me which Simheaven Scenery I should download is it the OSM Scenery or the Photo Scenery and do you still need to download the “X-Plane 10 HD Scenery Mesh v2″ Scenery. I find there website and instruction a little confusing and if the truth be known I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box. Thanks

Paphos Cyprus is the destination, the Carenado Cessna 172N is the aircraft and simheaven provides the scenery.
