Maps

For better overview and planning of flight simulation, two self-created WorldMaps are available:

• WorldMap of Scenery – An interactive map with over 1400 scenery options for X-Plane 12. The map provides detailed information about each airport to facilitate the search for suitable scenery. The search is done via a 4-digit valid ICAO code, which means smaller airfields such as grass strips and helipads are not displayed - this would make the map too confusing in some places already. Direct download links were deliberately omitted because:

  • No purchase recommendations for specific shops should be given
  • Updating numerous links would be very time-consuming
  • The map focuses on X-Plane 12 scenery (XP11 scenery was only included if there are special adaptations that support XP12 scenery features)

  There is a help link in the agenda that explains the popup entries.

• WorldMap of Ortho Tiles – An overview map of self-created and installed Ortho Tiles. The displayed Orthos were specifically created for addon scenery and provide high-resolution textures, often supplemented with Mesh Patches for additional details such as Runway Slopes. In addition to the self-created Orthos, official Ortho Patches from scenery manufacturers and community-created patches from the X-Plane.org forum are also used.
