OK Jan, I must admid I missed that trailer until now.

Well done Donka - surprising views for an iPad.

That should become part of IPACS homepage...

Congratulations to your Boston project. It got a lot of interesting buildings.

However I would like to see those poles to be replaced by a better alternative.

This way I had not expected them in a payware:

This is how they really look:

I searched for an alternative for you, which should it make easy to replace them, and needs only small resources regading FPS:

One last thing:

I completely miss your attributions regarding models source and ortho source.

Better you include them to prevent any legal issues.

By the way Heideflieger has his own theory why those striped towers look like this:

For me AFS2 crashes, If I choose the empty livery, but it works when I select a named one:

crashes:

works:

Thank you for your answer. Yes I tried to assemble them with a x,y,z, angle offset to relatively position them to each other.

But as non of them got visible as a single item, I thought of a bug.

Nice, that you will offer some typical combinations to use as an xref object.

The Christmas Presents continue...

A great and detailed aeroplane and this even for free.

Thank you very much Sylvain!

Very nice passenger bridges!

Airport Santiago de Chile SCEL

this airport is intended to work well with Lucky's "Cruising Andes" scenery.

This is a full sized airport with passenger bridges and many airport items.

Just head over to https://flight-sim.org/filebas…t-santiago-de-chile-scel/

You will also find the elevation mesh and the orthos there.

So we talk about an area of this size?

Here is a download for our XREF library. Keep in mind however, we might remove or rename some of the objects in the future, because as mentioned before the XREF system itself is undergoing some changes. The Switzerland XREF is not part of this due to the mentioned changes.

Hello admin ,

Thank you for publishing the extended XREF list. They contain very interesting new objects.

I tried to use the passenger bridges with the current beta 2.04.07.55 (20191121).

However passenger bridges do not appear.

The Floodlights however are visible. I am using the code below.

Do we need a newer beta to show up those objects?

This is the Monument Valley, which is also the name of the adjacent airport.

Thank you for generating the xref list.

I don't know if IPACS is aware, that the greatest advances and additions have been published by free developers / enthusiasts the last six month.

The more it surprises me, that they do not support these more:

1) publishing all xref model names they have

2) making the content converter more robust for transparency problems (converting multiple textures correctly etc)

3) signalling the end of conversion from geoconvert to a calling program

4) publishing a tool to split monster cultivations into managable chunks / more automation for bigger areas

5) an exporter for model converterX allowing to export animation sequences. A solution for 3dsMax only is for too expensive for most of the free developers.

I think on the far end, supporting here would result in a greater number of sceneries available for the IPACS universe.

Sorry, the available resolution does not allow a better model at steep areas.

Ray, you are looking for:

The strategy for Michael numerous files is easy:

Just install them all, and you don't have to care where they are. Everything is there from Wales to the northern end.

So it's

33GB for Scotland and islands

11GB for England/Wales

31GB for Ireland (Donationware)

0.6GB for the Mesh

Yes I saw this happen

And without a mesh a scenery is loosing a lot!

The 19m Corsica Mesh is online:

https://flight-sim.org/filebas…rsica-elevation-mesh-19m/

Great! The bump mapping really makes the difference.

Quote from KJKsimmer

The Orkneys and Shetlands are indeed covered by Micheal's photoscenery and cultivation, and it might be an idea to produce a small file to add the mesh as they are not as flat as the default AFS2 mesh suggests.

No problem Kenneth, I just uploaded an update of the elevation file, which now includes the Shetlands too.

Thank you for your nice airport Llandbehr.

Could you tell me please, how you placed the xref objects (program / procedure)?
