FScene is widely acknowledged by flightsim enthusiasts as a captivating
and
subtle makeover for the default scenery of Flight Simulator.
Once it's
installed you'll wonder how you ever flew without
it!
The latest version now incorporates replacement textures for
Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX/FS2004)
and Lockheed Martin P3D. The software covers a huge swathe of
the planet's surface and will
transform your simulated flying in
all visual seasons: Spring, Summer,
Autumn, Winter (and a
beautiful snowy 'Strong Winter' season).
Because FScene simply replaces the default textures with a different set,
it
is
fully compatible
with all available add-ons for a.o. Mesh, Landclass, Photo-real
scenery, Airports, Autogen, Environment, Traffic etc.

version as a special FREE Bonus!
Flight Simulator uses a large number of textures to define the ground you see
when flying, and are applied according to 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 & downs of the terrain, so will FScene X.
-
FScene X works perfectly with custom airport sceneries - it will only affect
the ground outside the perimeter of airports. All the default airports & 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.
Q. What does FScene4X actually do?
Answer.
Flight Simulator uses a large number of textures to define the ground you see
when flying. These textures are applied based on the type of ground it is.
Farm, rock, desert, fields, villages, towns, cities, forest, woods and so on.
They are also varied depending on the part of the world you are in So, for
instance, forests in England will look different from forests in Australia.
Finally they are varied according to the season of the year. FScene4X provides
enhanced replacement for a large proportion of these default textures. Each
volume replaces the default textures for a particular area of the world. The
FScene4X versions are designed to give a much more 3-Dimensional visual effect
and also created using shades that are much more realistic for their location
in the world.
Q. Does FScene4X work in all seasons?
Answer.
Yes. FScene4X provides matched replacements for all the seasonal versions of
the
textures it supplies. The seasonal versions of the textures are carefully
designed to give a more realistic variation than that provided by the default.
Q. Will FScene4X work with 'Roads and Rivers' addons?
Answer.
Yes. The default roads are still used by FScene4X and these will be disabled and
replaced in the same way
Q. Will FScene4X work with addon mesh terrain scenery such as MyWorld,
FSTerrain,
Ultimate
Terrain or FSGlobal?
Answer.
Yes. FScene4X 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.
Q. Will FScene4X work with custom airport sceneries such as British Airports or
World Airports.
Answer.
Yes. FScene4X 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. Only the ground outside the airport will be changed and the
increased realism of the FScene4X textures should make your airports look even
better from a distance.
Q. Will FScene4X work with photographic terrain scenery such as the VFR
Photographic scenery packages available for England and some other parts of
Europe?
Answer.
Yes. The way Flight Simulator handles Photographic scenery is different from
the way it handles the normal ground terrain. With Photographic terrain Flight
Simulator prevents the display of the normal ground textures and replaces them
with individual photographic tiles. The same is true of the default Flight
Simulator ground textures they are turned off in areas where Photographic
scenery is in use. You can still install and use FScene4X even if you have
photographic scenery for some areas. Outside the photographic areas the FScene
textures will appear. Inside the photographic areas the new ground textures
will not be visible.
Q. Does FScene4X affect the Flight Simulator Autogen trees and buildings?
Answer.
No. FScene4X 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 3 Dimensional appearance even from heights where
the autogen is no longer visible.
Q. Will FScene4X slow down the performance of Flight Simulator?
Answer.
No. Definitely not. The replacement textures are of exactly the same size and
format as the default ground textures. You will see exactly the same level of
performance after installing FScene.
Q. Will FScene4X make any permanent changes to my Flight Simulator that cannot
be
undone?
Answer.
No. Just replace the ..scenery/world/texture folder with the backup you made
when
installing FScene4X.
