Taburet - AXP California for X-Plane 11

The second generation of Autogen for X-Plane packages. The new generation goes much further into adding a more detailed coverage for buildings and woodlands into the scene. California is the first release of AXP second generation, and is a blend of multiple data to achieve complete building coverage for the State of California. Not less than approximately 11 millions buildings are injected into this autogen package to achieve 99% coverage placing buildings on the right position. It can work on its own; any mesh; any photorealistic scenery; any airport add-on; any cityscape scenery. AXP can be customised as for example texture editing. Forests coverage is provided by USGS Woodland data, ensuring no trees are popping up at random positions, but only where woodland exists in real world.

Coverage: California. In video AXP California over ortho4xp created photo realistic textures built from NAIP orthos.

Installation

Please take your time to read carefully.

Extract all the AXP folders from zip downloaded into xplane custom scenery folder.

AXP_California_Exclude_Airports
AXP_California_Parks
AXP_California_Trees
AXP_California_Complete_Buildings
AXP_California_Osm_Buildings
AXP_California_Exclude

At this stage you are ready to copy and paste the new scenery folders into the scenery.pack.ini in the following order: Open the scenery.pack.ini file located inside xplane custom scenery folder and copy / paste following lines:

SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/AXP_California_Exclude_Airports/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/AXP_California_Parks/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/AXP_California_Trees/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/AXP_California_Complete_Buildings/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/AXP_California_Osm_Buildings/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/AXP_California_Exclude/

You are ready to go; please keep reading if you are interested to install the optional photorealistic scenery tile for you to test AXP along with photorealistic scenery and if you are interested of how to use AXP with ortho4xp created scenery.

Optional

We recognise that best way to use autogen packages is with photorealistic texture as they match very well with each other. As you all know photorealistic textures can be built with ortho4xp freeware program. We are not affiliated with ortho4xp therefore all requests of support on that matter must be addressed by those involved.

To give you an example of how AXP works together with ortho4xp created phototextures we include a tile for you to test.

zOrtho4XP_+34-120 and zOrtho4XP_+34-120_overlays are the two folder including the tile with phototextures and overlays.

For those who know how X-Plane functions and it loads scenery into the simulator itself this is a walk in the park; for those who are actually raising stars it will take a small learning curve to put it all together; the process is simple and straight forward.

In order to make easy to make work AXP with Ortho4xp scenery we divided exclude areas into two parts and place exclude areas into this two folders:

1 - AXP_California_Exclude_Airports

This folder includes all exclude areas for airport to avoid to letting them be invaded by autogen. In this folder we can also keep exclusions for objects you like to add either to further clean airports to adjust whatever you like with exclude areas

This actions can be done using WED or the Overlay Editor.

2 - AXP_California_Exclude

This folder includes exclusion areas for overlays; either default overlays or overlays created by ortho4xp. It is all done, and we recomend you not to touch this folder. You can simply add or remove photorealistic scenery as you please without worry about anything else.

Please see below the order of scenery; it must be followed into scenery.pack.ini file if you are interested in installing photorealistic example scenery tile and more photorealistic tiles in the future:

AXP is complex and is designed with different components to work with each other; this order in the scenery.pack.ini file is very important and must not be changed; Airports addons and Global airports are going above AXP:

SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/Global Airports/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/AXP_California_Exclude_Airports/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/AXP_California_Parks/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/AXP_California_Trees/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/AXP_California_Complete_Buildings/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/AXP_California_Osm_Buildings/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/AXP_California_Exclude/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/zOrtho4XP_+34-120_overlays/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/zOrtho4XP_+34-120/

Good luck with your X-Plane expansion!
