Hier entsteht die Dokumentation meiner Aktivitäten mit X-Plane 9. Warum X-Plane? Weil mich der Microsoft Flugsimulator in letzter Zeit immer öfter mit Speicherlecks und damit verbundenen Abstürzen genervt hat.

Inhalt

1. X-Plane 9 Verbesserungen

1.1. Adjusted light textures for V9, updated to v1.1

  • Datei Timmeh_Light_Mod.zip runterladen
  • Verbesserung der zu grellen Lichter, insbesondere der PAPI-Lights
    • PAPI / T-VASI lights have been dimmed
    • Aircraft nav lights have been dimmed
    • Aircraft white strobes have been dimmed
    • Particularly bright large purple airport lights have been dimmed
    • All other runway and taxiway lighting has been left alone
    • Runway threshold strobes dimmed
    • PAPI / T-VASI light flare eliminated for a more realistic look and dimming reduced slightly
    • Airport green/white locator light dimmed
  • Installation
    • Go to X-Plane 9\Resources\bitmaps\world\lites
    • Rename 'lights.dds' to 'lights_orig.dds' (so you always have your original if you don't like the changes)
    • Copy the downloaded file 'lights.dds' to the same directory
    • Go to X-Plane\Resources\default scenery\sim objects\apt_lights
    • Rename 'apt_lights.dds' to 'apt_lights_orig.dds' (so you always have your original if you don't like the changes)
    • Copy the downloaded file 'apt_lights.dds' to the same directory
    • Enjoy.

1.2. X-Plane Europe Forests Texture Tweak

A small tweak to the tree textures in alpilotx's X-Plane Forests v9 textures to give them more depth for a "3D Effect". Original Texture sheets copyright Albert Laubi (aka xflyer).

  • Datei Euro_Trees.zip runterladen
  • Installation
    This is for the Europe Forests set. Locate your Europe_Forests folder and make a backup of the original texture file (Euro_Trees.dds or Euro_trees.png). Then, replace it with the appropriate new texture file.

1.3. Reduced size lights for V9

I do not know why, but FS and X-Plane always have oversized lights, especially for the aircrafts... X-Plane's V9 too! Only the "alpha channel" of the original file is modified.

  • Datei lights.zip runterladen
  • Installation
    Rename the original file to save it and place the file in "X-Plane 9.00 Beta-2\Resources\bitmaps\world\lites"
