#SKYMAXX PRO 4.5 MANUAL#

The most difficult part of making scenery is honestly just at the beginning: getting orthoimagery to use as overlays. WED is pretty straight forward to use once you get used to it and the newest beta (1.4b1) allows you to import directly from the Scenery Gateway, which makes making quick fixes to existing airports super easy.

The official manual for WED (the World Editor) is also good. This topic on the Org is a good place to start. If you want to help it's not that hard to get started. I and I know some others have been creating scenery and uploading them to the Gateway on an ad hoc basis.

I've also included two pre-filtered views in the spreadsheet: Has Scenery and Has Released Scenery so it's easy to see what's currently available.

scenery_score My own secret source formula for determining how 'important' an location is.

Scenery that has yet to be released will have a YES for has_scenery but empty for scenery_released_version.

scenery_released_version The first version of X-Plane the scenery was released in.

has_scenery Whether or not any 3D scenery exists for the location in the scenery gateway at all.

I've created a spreadsheet which tracks all the locations in the PilotEdge coverage area and their scenery status.

I've written a few posts about this, but for those who aren't aware: X-Plane has the Scenery Gateway project, which allows users to create and submit custom versions of airports for inclusion in future releases of X-Plane.
