Photoreal scenery shared between sims

1st Official Post

    Hi,

    I love photo scenery. I have downloaded a lot of gigabytes for X-Plane. Now, would it be too much to ask for a way to share those files with Aerofly so we don't need to download photorealist scenery twice? (one for each sim) I guess is already too late for this, but sometimes, I bit of standardisation among developers would be appreciated.

    All flight simulators have different core elements and ways that they produce and render the scenery making this a very difficult task to perform. The way that Aerofly reads scenery very different than that of X-Plane. I'm not too sure at this time if there's a way without extensive re-working.

    I totally understand that each game has its own way to handle graphic resources. It was just a thought or a hope. I will have 2 sims installed in my PC, but the effort to learn the process, download again scenery, have the necessary hard drive to allocate those files, etc,... is bit of a bummer. After all, I'm sure something could be done maybe in the tool itself. (Export to Aerofly or to other sim format...)

    Thanks for your input drhotwing1. :)
