Structure & Sources

X-Plane's scenery consists of three layers: the mesh defines terrain shape, orthophotos project satellite imagery as ground textures, and autogen populates the landscape with 3D objects. The scenery_packs.ini controls the load order — entries listed higher take priority, which is critical when combining multiple sources. The sources page describes available options: standard scenery with Gateway airports, SimHeaven X-World for more detailed autogen, and freeware and payware offerings.
