Introduction

Photoscenery is texture placed on the surface of the landscape. It can be obtained e.g. from Google Earth. Photoscenery replace (overlay) the default X-plane textures and it resembles the real look of the landscape from an aerial view. Photosceneries are available in different resolutions (which are called Zoom Levels, ZL) and they are packaged separately as individual squares.

  • ZL16 = the most commonly used resolution. It is sufficient resolution for common flying, however, closer look during flight at low altitude or during landing reveal the worse resolution of the texture. On te other hand, it does not consume too much space on disc and it does not have significant effect on loading of the simulator. One Square occupies approximately 2-2.5 GB on disc.
  • ZL17 = the second most common resolution. It has better resolution but at the cost of significant growth of data volume (4-times more).

The Square with photoscenery always includes also 3D terrain (MESH) and definition of water areas.

Sources of photosceneries

Photosceneries in ZL16 and ZL17 and in case of some specific areas also in ZL18 are available for Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Mesh

3D terén s definicí vody je nedílnou součástí ortofota, když si stáhnete nějaké ortofoto, chtě nechtě s ním dostanete i terén a řeky. Abyste měli správný terén a aktuální vodu, je možné si mesh aktualizovat, jedná se o dsf soubory, které oproti ortofoto texturám nejsou tak velké. Při instalaci akorát musíte dbát na to, aby se jednalo o stejný ZL.
