The OpenSceneryX project is a free to use library of scenery objects for X-Plane® v8.50 and above. It is a collaborative effort by members of the X-Plane.org community and the aim is to provide a good range of high quality scenery components for authors to use in their scenery packages. The library contains many pre-built 3d models including buildings, aircraft and vehicles as well as a large collection of ground markings, ground furniture and trees from both Europe and America. An index of all the objects in the current version is available down the right hand side of this page, click to view more information about the object, including a screenshot. Note that you cannot download single objects, you must download the library as a whole. Download
Recommended Option: InstallerClick one of the following links to download the OpenSceneryX installer: Alternative Option: Zip FileIf for any reason you cannot use the installer, for example if you are behind a restrictive firewall or if you need to download on one machine and install on another, then you can download a zip file containing the whole library by clicking the following link: OpenSceneryx.zip. PLEASE ONLY USE THIS OPTION IF YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TObecause it is hard on my bandwidth and also much slower because you have to download the entire library rather than just the files that have changed. Install
InstallerIf you used the recommended option and downloaded the installer, just unzip it and run it. You will be asked to locate your X-Plane® folder and then the installer will automatically download the latest version of OpenSceneryX. You don't need to download a new installer every time you want to update OpenSceneryX, you can just re-run the installer whenever you like and it will only download files that have changed. Zip FileIf you downloaded the full zipped version, unzip it and a folder titled 'OpenSceneryX' should be created. Move this folder into the 'Custom Scenery' folder inside your X-Plane folder Use
Normal X-Plane® UsersIf you are a standard user of X-Plane®, then you don't do anything else. Installing this library does nothing on it's own to the simulator - you won't see new objects dotted about, you won't see any changes to your default scenery, you won't see any new options in X-Plane®. However, scenery packages developed by other people can now use the objects in this library, so if you have installed any scenery package marked 'Enhanced by OpenSceneryX' then that package will come alive with objects. X-Plane® Scenery DevelopersIf you are a scenery developer, click the following link to download the OpenSceneryX Developer Pack: OpenSceneryX Developer Pack 2.0.0. Instructions for use are enclosed, and the developer pack now contains a full PDF reference manual containing everything in the library including screenshots. If you have used OpenSceneryX in your scenery package, please let us know by leaving a message on this page. |
