AlpilotX has announced the release of Europe V9.1.0 Scenery for X-Plane:
With X-Plane 9 came some exciting new features, but also a new Global Scenery - with native forests included - which made it necessary to re-cut the complete Europe Forests scenery. Partially repositioned road/railroads and even more the new, more detailed, and in wast numbers included building objects were the main reason. In the meantime, Alber Laubi (my artwork specialist) completely overhauled the tree texture set and also perfected their positioning via the forest definition files. After all, I have to say, that it was worth the effort, and the screenshots tell the same story.
Many of you might now also ask, why to bother with our trees, when there is already a native forest included with the new Global Scenery. Well, the answer is simple. The Global Forests - as I call them - are much more general in their nature. This is true for their far smaller diversity (for example like distinguishing between conifers in Finland and Greece) but also for their much rougher placement/detail (the reason for this is, that they are based on much coarser data than what CORINE provides). To have a better idea, I tried to compare some airports for yourself via screenshots . Maybe they help you to better assess the difference.
