New Svalbard Snapshots

Good news: The beta testing phase of Svalbard4XPlane is already in round number three. To shorten you the time to the release, here are some new snapshots of my Svalbard Mesh for X-Plane: Update: Out now! You can get Svalbard4XPlane scenery package from our publisher Aerosoft or the vendor of your choice – such as from X-Plane.org or Steam (XP11 and XP12).

Features of Svalbard4XPlane

Svalbard4XPlane is a quite realistic representation of Svalbard for the flight simulator X-Plane. The Norwegian archipelago is located in the Arctic Ocean north of the Polar circle between 74. and 81. latitude and is not covered by the X-Plane default installation. So the scenery package Svalbard4XPlane does not only fill a gap in the X-Plane…

News about Svalbard4XPlane!

Exciting news, I make a good progress with the development of my Svalbard Mesh for X-Plane. Besides the summer version, which I presented a few weeks ago, the development of the winter version is also almost finished: There are just a few details to add and the internal beta phase can begin. I’ll keep you…

Antarctic and Subantarctic Maps for X-Plane

With version 11, X-Plane doesn’t show any outlines of the terrain in its default map for my Antarctica Terrain Mesh Sceneries. I solved this issue now by creating and releasing custom Antarctic and Subantarctic Maps for X-Plane.

Svalbard4XPlane is coming soon!

I’m proud to present to you my newest creation: Svalbard4XPlane – A Custom Base Mesh Scenery for X-Plane. The mesh will represent the Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean with a very detailed terrain model and in a photorealistic look, even it is not a orthophoto-mesh. My Svalbard Base Mesh will be bundled together with…

News about Antarctica4XPlane

It’s been awhile, since my last news about Antarctica4XPlane, my Antarctica Terrain Mesh Scenery for the flight simulator X-Plane. It’s winter on the southernmost continent and due to the darkness and rough weather conditions at this time of the year, almost all antarctic researchers went home for a break. But why not use the opportunities…

A tool to edit X-Plane Meshes: The idea and goals

Notice: This is one of the articles in the series of articles describing the chronology of my initiative to aim for a common and official workflow to edit existing X-Plane terrain meshes. A summary about the why and the how can be found in the most recent article. Besides the development of new X-Plane Meshes,…

HiRes Digital Elevation Mosaic

In the last few weeks I focused a new project that is somewhat different than the previous ones: This time, I do not develop a final X-Plane Mesh Scenery, but a source for you, to build your own (Photo-)Mesh: A HiRes Digital Elevation Mosaic out of more than a dozen sources (with a resolution of…

Prince Edward Islands Mesh

As announced in November 2016, I’m working on Terrain Meshes for X-Plane covering Subantarctic Islands. Now I’m proud to announce, that I finished the first couple of islands: The Prince Edward Islands. Two sub-antarctic islands in the Indian Ocean, named Marion Island and Prince Edward Island. This terrain mesh is an addition to my Antarctica4XPlane mesh scenery…
