FScene X is a captivating and subtle makeover for the default scenery of Flight Simulator X and FS2004.
This innovative scenery expansion includes the Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter (and a beautiful snowy 'hard Winter' season) to give your flying a makeover that lasts all year!
FScene X transforms the generic FS ground textures to something with far greater realism. Mountains, forests, jungles and deserts take on a new three-dimensional feel; the countryside is subtly transformed with realistic colours and urban areas look more authentic. The software covers a huge swathe of the planet's surface and will transform your simulated flying.
Frame rate-friendly textures won't slow your flying down, and FScene is fully compatible with mesh terrain, photographic scenery and add-on airport scenery.
HOW FSCENE X WORKS
Flight Simulator uses a large number of textures to define the ground you see when flying, and are applied according to the type the type of ground you are flying over - desert, fields, villages, cities, forests, woods and so on.
These textures also vary depending on the part of the world you are in (so forests in England, for instance, will look different to forests in Australia) and they also vary according to the seasons of the year.
FScene X provides enhanced replacements for a large proportion of these default textures, to give a much more 3-dimensional visual effect created using shades that are much more realistic for their particular location in the world.
FScene X does not affect the use of add-ons for roads, rivers, traffic, clouds and autogen, since it replaces only the ground textures in Flight Simulator.
FScene X works perfectly with add-on mesh terrain scenery since it replaces the ground textures in Flight Simulator and, just as the default textures will flow to match the ups and downs of the terrain, so will FScene X.
FScene X works perectly with custom airport sceneries - it will only affect the ground outside the perimeter of airports. All the default airports and any custom ones you have installed will appear exactly as intended.
FScene X is carefully designed to work with the default autogen in Flight Simulator. It also has the added advantage that its enhanced 3D appearance can give the ground a much more 3D appearance even from altitudes where the autogen is no longer visible.
FScene X will not slow down the performance of Flight Simulator. Some of the replacement textures for FSX are even smaller than the default ground textures. You are therefore likely to see an increased level of performance in some areas after installing FScene X.
