X-Plane 11's CUSTOM SCENERY Folder and SCENERY_PACKS.INI File Tutorial [XP11FB#1]

[@joang9171]

This is a subject I have been struggling with for a long time and now I have a guideline to follow. The presentation is well thought out and professional in delivery. It lacks all the mid-video goofs and interruptions that typically mar the continuity so common in many videos. Congrats, great job!

[@stevehewitt4190]

I'm getting on in years and have been self teaching myself via KZbin over the last year and a bit. I have found from other submissions that the scenery in X-Plane is stacked but how to get into the system? So now I have found this presentation by what I think is a natural instructor. So I have subscribed and look forward to more presentations on the inner most workings of X-Plane (a simulator that gives me great pleasure in my retirement). Many thanks for your effort and I have deleted all the other bookmarks on how "improve" your simulator.

[@armanhanda]

You are a savior! Thank you so much for this video! This is exactly the kind of tutorial a beginner user needs.

[@curtusua]

Thank you for creating the best explanation of this concept I have seen. Many “tutorials” assume too much and yours is so very well done. I have learned so much from your videos! Please continue! Your English is excellent too!

[@robertlee42770]

Fantastic job explaining this!! As a new X-Plane 11/12 simmer, this is exactly what I was looking for!!

[@iNeoN50]

Great explained topic! Just wanna add one very basic thing... If you're trying to help a remote user with a stuff like that 0:55, the very first your step must be to check the "Number of Objects" slider. I had two cases in my practice with the slider on the zero position. Silly but it happened.

[@KT-ow1sz]

Thank you very much for your range of concise easy to understand videos. We could do with you as Prime Minister of Britain !!

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Haha alright, let's see how it goes ;) Thanks for watching my videos!

[@denisgoodman4492]

Absolute Outstanding - the best explanation for beginner (I found it only after one year using XP when I decided to test Ortho and after :) I did one WED airport)

[@Carlo-f1e]

Very useful and extremely clear, watched tons of videos on this topic and this definitely the one I was looking for: thanks for posting

[@vicrobinson1366]

Excellent video best description of the dreaded ini file structure that even long time users sometimes have trouble with. I’m sure that everyone will get something out of this video

[@rossyragbag]

Brilliant video, now it all makes sense. Thank you from all us simmers. Keep up the good work.

[@mannyrivera6990]

Thank you for this video , your time and efforts are greatly appreciated

[@willemp6432]

I agree...

[@mickusbombickus]

best video ever ... its sorted out many issues ive had with x plane, thank you :-)

[@tomb8430]

Awesome tutorial. Would be awesome to be able to torrent your entire scenery folder and just install that way. Seems like a mammoth task to do this with the quality you have, and without mistakes. Subscribed sir. Your content is excellent.

[@vittoriodivittorio]

Perfect I was lost in the differents scenery, very good video.

[@X-Fantasia]

Thank you so much! So this is why my airports weren’t showing up after I installed Orthophotos.

[@tofuComputer]

This is definitely a go-to video! Thank you, great stuff!

[@ChrizzyReviews]

Just love your videos and I hope the rest of the series gets uploaded very soon!!

[@jankin880]

Very convenient you post this video now...I have one crucial problem ,I can not figure out....it is this : many payware airports come now with their own mesh .if you try to use these meshes in combination with Ortho4XP sattelite images ,the tile photoscenery of the tile in which the particular airport is situated ,appears to be not loaded .......as if the original overlay that I created in Ortho4XP is being blocked by the airport mesh .....SO this the big question :where to place airport meshes in the ini packs to avoid the blocking of the surrounding photo imagery.... thank you so much for your superb tutorial series.

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Afaik when it comes to the mesh (elevation data), X-Plane will choose the mesh with the highest resolution in that area. So in this case the position in the scenery_packs.ini file doesn't matter, always the "best" mesh will be chosen. It might very well be that very high resolution addon airport meshes will then "overwrite" other meshes like Ortho4XP. If there are display errors occuring, I would try to disable/temporarily remove the airport mesh and see if things improve. And thanks for watching!

[@jankin880]

Thanks for your comment

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

@@jankin880 Hi again, I may have come up with a solution, but it only works when the addon airport's mesh is a .dsf file. Then you could try to extract the elevation data of that file via xGrinder and load it into the "custom_dem" field in the Ortho4XP settings. If we're lucky, then Ortho4XP should incorporate the airport's custom mesh and build the remianing mesh around it. If you haven't seen it yet, I'm describing the procedure here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXTOZX9qrbRkhsU Maybe it will work. Please report back ;)

[@ery9077]

Thanks for sharing the video. It's useful for us the beginner

[@kentg4684]

I am new to XP11 and it has taken a bit effort to get up to speed. Your tutorials have helped to accelerate the learning curve. Tausend dank! This .ini file seems simple but I am having a problem. When modified and saved as recommended after starting XP the .ini file is altered/ restored to it's original structure by XP.

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

I'm very glad that my tutorials helped you getting started :) Even though it's very strange that your file reverts back to default every time... Do you save the file properly after modifying? May it be read only?

[@sami_k567]

U are a legend! This video is on point! Not like other fools i have bren watching and haven't learned anything!

[@Majestik3D]

Awesome video! This should be very helpful to those new at X-Plane!

[@Jimbo-in-Thailand]

Let me add that if you're having scenery order display problems you can simply rename (preferred) or delete the existing .ini file and X-Plane will automatically recreate the missing .ini file for you the very next time you start X-Plane. It knows the correct scenery order and typically does a good job organizing the list of files. It's not always 100% perfect since there are so many scenery options out there but in my experience it works pretty well. I also suggest taking a screenshot at 4:57, like I did, as it's a great reference to help sort out these problems. 😁

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Thanks for watching and for the comment :) But afaik when X-Plane creates a new .ini file, the entries will just be ordered alphabetically. It may appear well ordered because many photoreal and mesh entries start with a z..., so it appears as if XP orders everything correctly, but it's not 100% the case. Some things have to be adjusted afterwards. Cheers :)

[@Jimbo-in-Thailand]

@@SimulationChannelDeluxe No, not just alphabetically. The routine that creates the .ini file seems to know the different file types when it creates the .ini and lists them accordingly. Yes, alphabetizing is an important consideration when naming different types of files, and maybe it does depend on this as well. And, no, renaming/deleting the .ini is not perfect, like I mentioned, but it will get the scenery file order pretty close. I've had to resort to it and it worked pretty well. It's a recommended method when your ini file gets corrupted. You can easily try it yourself by simply renaming your current ini file and restarting X-Plane. Regards from soggy Thailand! 😁

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

@@Jimbo-in-Thailand Oh okay I didn't know that some ordering happens then, must be new to XP11 ;) In XP10 (and if I recall correctly also in the early days of XP11) the ordering was just alphabetical. Good to know and cheers from Germany ;)

[@hwh888]

Thankfully a excellent video explaining the xp11 scenery structure.

[@Diga6ft]

Great Great Great - an another good video - always better than others

[@brandonmix]

Excellent video! I am new to X-Plane 11 and have never had to do this when I used Microsoft FSX. You were very thorough and I think I understand it more clearly now. The only thing that would be helpful is understanding exactly what classifies as "Libraries", "Meshes", Photoreal scenery", "Large area OSM" (I have no idea what OSM is), etc. Meaning, how do I know what each one is so I can place it in the correct order? For example, I have the ALES (Airport Layout Enhancement Solutions) add-on. My guess would be to add this to "Regional scenery enhancements" section of the .ini file. Correct?

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Thanks, I'm glad the video helped you. Meshes mostly means the HD/UHD Meshes by alpilotX. Regarding the difference between libraries and "normal" addon scenery, I explain that in more detail in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6W1haaljbmHjLs ALES should be a regular library, so the placement in the ini doesn't really matter.

[@mcshiggitypilot5901]

Excellent! 2 Thumbs up! Im a longtime subscriber!

[@ksmith610]

Ausgezeichnet! Vielen dank! Jetzt es mehr einfach ist.

[@Flightcoach]

Wow this is great. Watched your tutorial on ortho4xp a few days ago, think I missed a step adding the alpilotx mesh completely there! Just added the yoverlay... not the mesh at the bottom. Very curious to see what happens when I change this heheheh

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Cool, thanks for watching mate :)

[@Flightcoach]

@@SimulationChannelDeluxe thanks for your great videos. Yep it works. Must say i dont see much difference between the standard mesh and the uhd mesh i am now using for the alps, while loading time has tripled...hmmmm...

[@paulrodriguez7416]

great tutorial , thank you, so well explained !

[@dividido3723]

Great video as always! Thank you

[@willemp6432]

This helped a lot but, I still need time to get a grip on the whole thing..Thanx a lot.Danke shön...

[@MattR336]

The way you say pyramid is awesome! I just bought SFD, ORBX Terraflorra and Florida SD/HS. I also did the alpilot zzz_hd_global_scenery4 with a few tiles, but didn't do anything with them other than download the tiles into that folder. X plane keeps trying to rearrange my folder and I had a few questions you may be able to help with. Where do I put Terraflora compared to the SFD line items? And then where do I put the zzz_hd_global_scenery4 item and the 4 ORBX florida files? Thank you, i'm probably like 20 of your total views trying to figure this one out :) **Would a paste of my scenery.ini file help? Thanks again!

[@scobby47231]

Thank you for this video i know how to add scenery and improved my xp11.

[@josneira1827]

thankyou, brilliant tutorial, i was having a nightmare with this!, well i am noob so i guess it's to be expected., i'm also having big problems with Flywithua, and my fav mod 124thATC none of which seem to be working, first thing i'm going to be doing in checking if you have any tutorial videos, jeje....danke/cheers...havn't yet seen if it has worked but what you showed at the start was exactly what i was seeing..p

[@mmagnusx]

Hi. I have SpainUHD and all 7 simHeaven_X-Europe which are above SpainUHD. It is possible to have both or I have to choose one. If flying in Spain I have to disable simHeaven_X-Europe-Scenery and if flying outside spain enable simHeaven_X-Europe-Scenery? How I should work with that? Thanks for all

[@LucaGeselle]

Deine Videos sind wirklich großartig! Sehr gut und ausführlich erklärt. Leider nutze ich Mac, sodass es mir bis heute nicht gelungen ist, ortho4XP oder Autoortho zu installieren. Es gibt zu viele Probleme. Meinst du es wäre daher möglich, deine Orthophotos zu Verfügung zu stellen, sodass wir sie uns runterladen können ? Das wäre der Wahnsinn, denn deine Orthos sind wirklich überragend. Ich würde mich über eine Antwort freuen. Lieben Gruß

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Dankeschön! Freut mich, dass dir die Videos gefallen :) Allerdings fliege ich schon seit Jahren nicht mehr in X-Plane, daher sind auch meine Ortho-Kacheln leider nicht mehr vorhanden, sorry.

[@tomdt2795]

Thanks. Very helpful!

[@pelgrin21]

I'M Lazy so by having 1 ortho folder and 1 overlay folder you can add and remove ortho as you like and the scnery order won't change and you be doing that alot. As xplane does read subfolders.

[@kristod76]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks.

[@carlosa.avalle528]

Excellent tutorial. I once knew this stuff but needed a quick refresher and this was perfect. Hope to see some more videos like this. One quick question, is it possible to leave blank lines between the different groups as you did for clarity or do they have to be in consecutive lines w/o blank lines? And what about the last line, can it have a carriage return/line feed (CR/LF), or must it end w/o?

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Thanks! I'm not too sure about blank lines in the .ini, I think they will "get closed" when running X-Plane. And I don't fully understand your question regarding the last line, sorry.

[@jimpoobear6973]

Great video but how could the average person ever get this to work without this knowledge.

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Yes some things in X-Plane are not very transparent for new users. That's why I thought about making this video series :) Thanks for watching!

At first installation I added scenery for the area in which I live (Europe) and would now like to add USA and Canada but don't know how to go about adding further default scenery. Any help appreciated!

[@sbu7176]

Great video but how can I make sure the scenery pack doesn't duplicate the names, this occasionally happens when i have more than 15 airport addons.

[@aviationchris5091]

This is fantastic! thank you so much for creating this masterpiece of knowledge. But how can we update the scenery ini file to reflect, for example, Orbx True Earth? and will our Orthos still be available?

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Thanks for your kind words. Regarding ORBX True Earth, unfortunately I don't have any experience with it... Regards

[@simonmartinez8480]

So I did and ordered everything the way you did but my ortho4xp overlays don’t show up on Xplane 11. I followed your other videos and did everything you did but it still doesn’t show ? I feel like it’s Probobly a simple fix like maybe an enable button or something

[@carlosvillanueva7452]

excellent masterful video

[@TravelLinkED]

Great video, thanks!

[@svolos1971]

Well done as always. One question: where do files for forests, parked cars, roads, vegetation etc. go? I have them above all airports (at the top of my .ini file). Just to clear up, I am talking about such files that come with the scenery for each airport

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Thanks, but to be honest I don't really know which kind of scenery you mean lol. I have several airports with seperate Orthophoto or city enhancement layers, and these always go below the airport layer itself. Indeed I have one airport that also features vegetation and forest layers, and these go above the airport. It depends and usually you can see the correct order in the readme or from the filenames. Cheers

[@atsubeckley3354]

Hi mate I have done all you said but I still get an uncompleted airport and I get error message when I load xplane that my open sceneryX is needs updating which I have done several times but still nothing changes

[@paololozzi6732]

hello, I congratulate you for this tutorial, but, I was trying to follow it, and, at the beginning of the tutorial, there is one thing I don't understand in the custom scenry folder, you select some items, for example the aerosoft scenarios and , LOWI demo area, once selected, the latter disappear but, I don't understand, these entries are deleted, or do you move them somewhere? thank you very much

[@willjames5315]

Please help!! followed every single step, get great scenery but no airport buildings where my ortho tiles are, and my ini folder is in the exact same layout as yours?? :(

Hello, i always watch your tutorial learn many things from your tutorial specially about Ortho4xp I make my all photos scenery following your tutorial Big Thanks to you, Know I need to clarify one about Scenery INI file Where should I place MisterX HD Forest in scenery INI, also where should I place global forest Europe? Pls help. Many thanks.

[@qanadilohani7095]

Sorry for bothering, i made it and after I launch XP11, it comes back to old version.. any ideea why?

[@Thomas22may]

Hi Simulation Channel Deluxe, I'm really enjoying your tutorials, some things I already know, but I do learn quite a bit from watching. One thing that I'm struggling with is Ortho4XP mixed with Payware airports. I own a version of LIMJ (Genoa), however it doesn't come with an ortho tile worth of photo scenery. The issue I'm having is - when I download for ortho scenery for the LIMJ tile, my mesh is completely broken, I believe Ortho4XP gets the mesh from it's source however it collides with the payware mesh, leaving me with a part of the airport terminal sunken into the ground and some surrounding buildings hovering a few meter above ground. Would you consider making a tutorial on how to create ortho scenery for a tile that contains a payware airport with it's own custom mesh? Thank you for making the videos you have and also keep up the great work. Very much appreciated. :) Regards Thomas

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Yes I can imagine what's happening there. The developer uses custom buildings that are set to appear at one specific altitude. These buildings don't follow the terrain elevation like XP default buildings for example. So they create the custom mesh for their airport, and the edges of that area are set up to fit only the default mesh. I don't think that there is an easy way to apply the airport's mesh to any addon mesh like Ortho4XP unfortunately. Regards

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Now that I'm thinking about it, is the airport's mesh delivered as a .dsf file? Then there might be a way to fix things.

[@Thomas22may]

@@SimulationChannelDeluxe Yes, it's the GayaSimulations LIMJ, just checked in the mesh folder, +44+008.dsf

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

@@Thomas22may Then you could try to extract the elevation data of that file via xGrinder and load it into the "custom_dem" field in the Ortho4XP settings.

I dont understand where i make wrong i tried 100 times still something i do wrong. Only Sarajevo scenery works fine airport buildings all good. If i dont have just ONE of the required scenery library for the scenery will that mean the whole scenery wont work or is it only that part of the scenery i dont have that wont work? I just need NAPS which i can get because it is not available in xp.org anymore...

I am 73 been flying since I was 16. I need help starting at the desktop. I not had in all my years using a computer any reason to search for a program's folder. Starting with the folder I was lost at the beginning. I been waiting for FS 2020 to release and with so many bugs and refinements I have decided to XP 11 for at least till the sim is working better.

how do you get all that space for xplane i ran out of space on my b drive

THANKS 👍

[@aeroflypilot8446]

Hi why I don’t have the Aerosoft base scenery ?

[@omarser7364]

guys pls help i download a lot of custom scenery airports but the the airport is missing

[@and696]

I have a question ..In case you have the TE ( orbx ) scenary, where do you place it ?? below the Global Airport or above it ?Tks.

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

I don't have any ORBX scenery for XP11, but the TrueEarth stuff should surely be placed below the Global Airports (and any other addon airports). Cheers

[@and696]

what do y mean ( and any other addon aiport ) .. all the airport should be above Global Air. also Orbx airport

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

@@and696 Yes that should be the correct order (from bottom to top): ORBX True Earth | Global Airports | Any other freeware and payware airport sceneries (incl. ORBX airports)

[@rocketman3863]

It does not work! When I see my scenery of Ortho4XP it’s still flat!

[@shreyshah50]

You said that it loads the scenery from bottom to top but in X-plane official video it says that the packs are loaded from top to bottom with the top being the highest priority. Please resolve the disparity.

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Sceneries at the top do have the highest priority because they get loaded last, maybe that's their way of thinking. X-Plane draws scenery starting at the bottom, that's for sure though ;)

[@shreyshah50]

@@SimulationChannelDeluxe Thank you

[@safarieten]

surely, "libraries" should be placed at the top of the list, and not at the bottom ??

[@PlaneFS]

Can you help? I havent downloaded the steam version so I can't find the folder

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

The Custom Scenery folder always resides inside your main XP11 folder. If you own the DVD version, then you chose the path during the setup. By default it might install inside the C:\Program Files folder, but don't quote me on that ;)

[@alejandrocardona3403]

Hey, I'm new at this channel and I'm writing this to ask, how do I can fix that my cities in x plane doesn't are in 3D I mean they're like covered by mesh of alpilotx and show me an image of all the city but with the buildings in 2D, this only happen to me when I'm at Colombia I mean when I'm at SKCL, SKBO, SKRG, SKSP, etc, I cannot see the city in the right way but when I'm at USA places like KSAN, KJFK, KLAX, KSFO, etc, I can see all the city and buildings ok, i have the rendering settings of number of objects on high and it doesnt change anything, I hope you reply, I'm desperate and very frustrated

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

That's strange, when the loading order in the scenery_packs.ini is correct then you should also have buildings in Colombia lol. So you use orthos there? Did you build the overlays using alpilotX HD mesh?

[@eliub6748]

is it just me or do you have to be an engineer to go ahead and happily configure all this ortho stuff?

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

It isn't that complicated after getting used to it. I'm using X-Plane since version 10 so I have some experience with how things work in the X world ;)

[@heronpatterson9500]

Thank for this video but its quality is not too clear. can't see too well.

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Thanks, but the quality should be crisp and clear. Are you sure that 1080p60 is properly set in YT?

[@vineapples]

ok cool now im going to get xorganizer because that seems too tedious in notepad lol

[@longskynet5463]

Can anyone help me please, why my Otho4Xp scenery X plane 11 is flat.

Where can i found all the folder?

[@pumpkineater6960]

I have airport envoirment hd and when i download custom scenery with custom runway textures the airport envoirment hd runways are displayed instead someone please halp!?!?!?

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

I don't know if it is true for the AEHD addon, but it might be that it overwrites all custom runways etc when placed at the top of the scenery_packs.ini file which you can find in the Custom Scenery folder. Maybe try placing the "Airport Environment HD" entry further down within the .ini file.

[@pumpkineater6960]

@@SimulationChannelDeluxe thanks

[@SpearHead1011]

Hi, should I out the HD mesh above the UHD Mesh?

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

UHD Mesh comes above HD Mesh.

[@SpearHead1011]

@@SimulationChannelDeluxe ok thx so much

[@rolandrayar9561]

can Xorganizer (the payware) automatically organize scenery packs.ini ?

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Sorry, I don't know that software. But tbh I wouldn't really trust a tool to order the scenery correctly ;)

[@Thomas22may]

I have the payware version of X-Organizer, I find it does an amazing job at organizing the scenery folder, if you run into any issues, the developer is very helpful and will assist where he can. You can also modify your custom scenery in X-organizer to your liking. Definitely worth the money in my opinion :)

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

@@Thomas22may Now that I have looked up that software I'm also thinking about getting it. Appears to be very useful :)

Can someone send me the NAPS_library. No available in xp.org longer and you can only get it in x-plained if you already have an account because they have deactivated creating an new account options and i dont have an account... ://

[@吴-s5h]

My custom scenery folder doesnt have the .ini file :(

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

That's strange, it has to be there. Did you launch the sim at least once? Maybe it still needs to be created.

[@吴-s5h]

@@SimulationChannelDeluxe okay i found it.. the file didnt have the ini there and i got confused

[@muhammadkhusairibinyusofsa2216]

Can u install custom scenery without global scenery?

[@AMN1711]

Did you tried it?

[@warwickmarks3269]

I agree that it isinformative - BUT it is still pitched at users who have basic knowledge of computer files - and for someone like myself who would not even know where to look for files on a computer it is STILL to complex. Perhaps a -Plane for dummies is needed. Still very well done though

[@janetcohen8610]

i don't seem to have the ini file in custom scenery. w hat to do?

[@svolos1971]

XP 11 will auto-generate the .ini file every time you start it up...so start it up!

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Yeah and after a new .ini file has been created, all entries will be ordered alphabetically. So it will be quite some work to tidy it all up...

[@aaroncollopy3283]

is there any mod that will do it for you

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Indeed, there's the amazing xOrganizer tool that I'm also using by now. It's payware though and costs 10 or 15$.

[@abdullah_q8171]

very hard to deal with scenery, this is the big mistake of xplane 11, they didnt fix it on right way.

[@SimulationChannelDeluxe]

Yeah agreed, they improved pretty much everything in XP11 but scenery management still feels very outdated. Thanks for watching :)
