  1. Scenery Review - Updated : KRSW - Southwest Florida International Airport by Aerosoft

    in Payware Airports and Scenery Reviews

    Posted

    Hi Stephen, I have completed developing a free update to the KRSW scenery and it will be released by Aerosoft soon. Here are some of the improvements:
     
    • All scenery objects will now display even when the Number of Objects in the Rendering Options is set to Default (you no longer need to set it to Extreme to see all the objects)
    • Added taxiways G3, G5, G6, H, K and L
    • Added the new fire station
     
    Click on the images below to see the improvements:

    By default, Static Aircraft and Volumetric Grass are disabled in the scenery. Here are detailed instructions on how to enable them:
     
    1. Quit X-Plane
     
    2. Navigate to your X-Plane 10/Custom Scenery/Aerosoft KRSW 2_Scenery/ folder
     
    3. Here you will find four folders, namely:
     
    Earth nav data
    Earth nav data.Base+Static Aircraft
    Earth nav data.Base+Static Aircraft+VolGrass
    Earth nav data.Base+VolGrass
     
    4. Rename the Earth nav data folder to Earth nav data.Base
     
    5. Choose one of the other three folders and rename it to Earth nav data (for example, if you want to enable both Static Aircraft and Volumetric Grass, rename Earth nav data.Base+Static Aircraft+VolGrass to Earth nav data). X-Plane only uses the folder that you name "Earth nav data".
     
    Note: Enabling Volumetric Grass may have a significant performance impact on some systems.
     
     
     
    If you see a strange 'shadow' or 'waves' on the runway, follow these instructions to fix it:
     
    1. Navigate to the folder X-Plane 10/Custom Scenery/Aerosoft KRSW 2_Scenery/
     
    2. Find the file 847.pol and rename it to 847BAK.pol
     
    3. Download the 847.pol file attached to this post and place it in the X-Plane 10/Custom Scenery/Aerosoft KRSW 2_Scenery/ folder
     
    You will no longer see the runway grooves and the associated artifacts. If, however, you want to get the runway grooves back, simply reverse the above procedure.

    Hi Stephen,

    Thank you for writing such a great and detailed review of the scenery. I've noted the shortcomings you've mentioned and will take care to avoid the same mistakes in my next project.
    However, I'd like to point out that there are some setting-dependent elements of the scenery that are missing in your screenshots:

    1. The ramps and car parks are full of 3D vehicles but the Number of Objects in the Rendering Options must be set to Extreme in order to see them all.
    2. The zigzags in the orthophoto textures should disappear by increasing the Anisotropic Filtering in the Rendering Options to 16x.
    3. The building textures will look much better if you set the Texture Resolution in the Rendering Options to Extreme.
    4. The volumetric grass can be activated using the guide in post #2 here: http://goo.gl/gEG01t
    5. If the runway grooves display an interference pattern on your system, how to fix it is described in post #4 here: http://goo.gl/KFsUqK

    Furthermore, a major update to the scenery will be released this month and will include new taxiways, a new fire department and other improvements.

    I hope this info makes your flights at KRSW even better. Thank you once again for the great review.

    Best regards,

    Omar
