However, not much was disclosed in regards to third-party addons support and compatibility. In the hour-long seminar held by the team from Laminar Research, much information was shared on the technical aspect of the new platform and what will it offer. X-Plane 12 was announced at this year’s FlightSimExpo event held in San Diego, United States with high anticipation. Manila, Philippines (4k screenshot of X-ASIA 3.Last updated: – 2150 GMT – Formatted and updated numerous developers, added SSG and TorqueSim Layer 4-scenery – containing the buildings – has increased dramatically: Many, many buildings (almost a billion in total) were added from Microsoft Building Footprints (MSBF) AFTER matching with OSM, about one third OSM, two thirds MSBF: 510,265,762Ĭatania, Italy (4k screenshot of X-EUROPE 5.9) Tagged X-Plane 12, X-World, XP12 | Major updates on final approachĢ00 GiB of data were processed over the last 4 weeks, in pre-, main- and post-processing, a stressful time for the computer and me, it worked day and night and generated a total of 112,969 tiles.

Preview of the upcoming X-WORLD Europe for XP12 and for the new versions for XP12 the name changes to X-WORLD.

Second thing is, that I decided to rename the packages for XP12 to avoid confusion for you and me, the upcoming updates for XP11 (which are probably the last updates for XP11) are keeping the names like X-Europe, X-America etc. Hopefully this weekend Europe will be published, next is America ca. I’ve been working on the new versions for XP12 AND XP11 for 4 – 5 weeks day and night, but processing of > 200 GiB of data needs much time.
