File Name: YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith Intl (ISDG) File Submitter: chris k File Submitted: 05 Aug 2012 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 10 YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith Intl (XP10) Sydney, Australia - v1.41 Aug 10, 2014 WARNING: Use at Your own Risk. We assume no responsibility for blown up power supplies or melting GPUs. Requirements: - X-Plane 10.20 (http://www.x-plane.com/) - OpensceneryX 2.0 (http://opensceneryx.com/) - Texture Compression ENABLED (else you'll blow X-Plane's 3.5Gb RAM Limit) This scenery runs around 860 Mb loaded at "extreme" resolution compressed w/X-Plane 10 Loaded. Uncompressed, and you're into 1.4-1.5 Gb, meaning you're dangerously close to crashing XP10_32bit - A Modern Video Card with MINIMUM 512Mb VRAM. This scenery fully runs at or around 512Mb of VRAM when loaded in XP10 with "very high". I highly suggest this setting for now until XP10_x64 - You will want to run this scenery at "very high" or "extreme" Texture Resolution, or else the effect is lost. Sorry to the users with 256Mb VRAM or less. This just isn't going to work out for you. Time to think of upgrading, since XP10 uses almost 300Mb all by itself, with nothing loaded. __________________________________________________________ SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING ELSE ON YOUR COMPUTER if you have a 512 Mb Video Card! You will need every ounce of VRAM in your card for this scenery! Kill any Web Browsers, Desktop Wall Paper, and anything that couple possibly use Video RAM.! - If you get some texture swap, look around a little bit at the beginning in all directions, and let it settle. - Go to External views as well, zoom far out and back in, X-Plane will start swapping out unused textures. - Go to rendering options, toggle between full-screen to windowed and back. For some reason, this also works for me to optimise the VRAM. __________________________________________________________ Credits: Many people have generously donated their time, skills, and objects. This could not have been done without them. - Ropeless (Many Many Many Many Photoshopped Tiles, Concrete Gables from YSCN - Thanks to the Doctor!) - Fenriz (Many Many Photoshopped Tiles) - SimmoW (Photoshopped Tiles) - GaryBKK (Various Shipping Containers, Container Crane) - Sethesus (Checkered Huts, Electrical Junction Boxes, YSSY Tower, Signage, Clutter) - HenryT (Checkered Huts, Clutter) - Nickster (Radio Mast, Radar Ball, Red shipping containers, dumpsters, diggers, bollards, Clutter) - Skyflyer (HungryJacks, Billboards, McDonalds, Signage, Clutter) - Laminar for the LOWI XP9 Buildings. - Nerarmap.com for the Orthophotography Imagery at 15cm resolution (free redistribution and derivation for noncommercial use) __________________________________________________________ Additional Files/Enhancements: I highly suggest using Jack's (FlyJSim's) "über-kewl" Asphalt replacement textures found here for proper runway effect: Hi-Res Replacement Asphalt Textures I also suggest the Vehicle Library Extension found here, and crank up the 'Number of Cars". Looks great! Vehicle Library Extension __________________________________________________________ Bugs/Todo: Still some stuff to do - I'm aware of them i.e: - Some Gate Markings/Centrelines aren't finished yet. - Certain Buildings are simply "stand ins" until we better XP10/OSX objects i.e. "Delta Hangar" should be Qantas Hangar, and "USPS Post Office" should be Australia POST. __________________________________________________________ License: This scenery is Dorito-ware. Meaning that if you like it, you are obligated to send us a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos. The Australians have never heard of this flavour, and it's impossible to purchase it here in Sydney. __________________________________________________________ Author's Notes: This Scenery took 5 Months of planning, editing, assembling, and a complete Team of like-minded dedicated people. I was very fortunate to have met and worked with an awesome and talented group of individuals on this project. My hats off to Ropeless, who was by far the most dedicated individual and "photoshopping-machine" on this project. =) Without his tireless work and encouragement, this project would have never gotten off the ground. This scenery is dedicated to the entire X-Plane Community. You know who you are =) © 2012-2014 chris k __________________________________________________________ P.S. You like Photoscenery?

File Name: Pacific Ranges Photoscenery - Bella Coola File Submitter: olexia File Submitted: 17 Aug 2012 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 9 & 10 The scenery updates the 1x1 degree tile around Bella Coola, British Columbia with high resolution terrain mesh, coastlines, rivers and lakes. It updates the southern half of the tile with medium resolution orthophoto textures, and adds a new airfield, CBJ5 Taleomey River. A good introductory flight is to take off east from Bella Coola, turn south and fly to CBJ5 Taleomey River Airfield. Both approaches to the airfield are difficult, the one from the east much more so. The scenery is the first in a series stretching from Bella Coola, British Columbia, to Vancouver, British Columbia. The sceneries available at x-plane.org and x-pilot.com are 1. Pacific Ranges- Bella Coola 2. Pacific Ranges- Machmell River See attached index map for scenery locations. The scenery has been successfully tested with X-Plane 9.70, X-Plane 10 Demo, and Inside Passage scenery. Click here to download this file
