Maps2XPlane Addons (X-Plane 11/12)

It’s time to inform you about the plans for our upcoming X-Plane scenery package, which will feature the Seychelles: You can look forward to a photo-realistic custom terrain mesh covering the entire 115-island country; Dense tropical vegetation and country-specific autogen; Detailed renditions of the Seychelles International Airport as well as the regional Praslin Island Airport; Numerous additional airstrips and helipads, which are spread over the smaller islands. Please note, that this is just a very short summary of the key features. More information and a detailed feature list will follow. To stay up-to-date, I suggest to you to follow this forum-thr…

In addition to the german info- and support-thread about Svalbard4XPlane: Svalbard4XPlane is a scenery package for X-Plane 11, developed by Maps2XPlane in cooperation with Stairport Sceneries. It covers the Norwegian archipelago Svalbard in the Arctic Ocean, north of the Polar circle between 74. and 81. latitude. Svalbard is not covered by the X-Plane default mesh. Thus the scenery package Svalbard4XPlane does not only fill with its custom terrain mesh a gap in the X-Plane world, but also includes three detailed airports and two heliports. You can look forward to the following locations: The Barentsburg Heliport (ENBA) and the Pyramiden Heliport (E…

I am pleased to announce that CDB Scenery Design and Maps2XPlane have joined to develop together another island scenery for X-Plane: The largest island of the United States Virgin Island in the Caribbean Sea: Saint Croix. Look forward to a highly-detailed rendition of the international Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (TISX) and a custom photo-terrain-mesh covering the entire island, featuring custom overlays (such as vegetation, country-typical buildings, as well as a road-network and sea-routes with dynamic traffic). The scenery will be complemented with renditions of Christiansted and Frederiksted, with selected landmarks, and of course the Christiansted Seaplane Base…

Maps2XPlane celebrates this month its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of crafting high-quality custom large-scale sceneries for the X-Plane flight simulator. From the initial Antarctica4XPlane project to detailed recreations of regions like Svalbard, the Faroe Islands, Seychelles, Saint Croix, and the Society Islands, we bring diverse and immersive landscapes to virtual pilots. All details about the projects of an exciting decade, as well as a look ahead, can be found in the latest blog entry on our website. Thank you XP Community for your support: On to the next decade! P.S. If you are still missing one or more of our add-ons for X…

I am pleased to announce that Albert and I teamed-up again to create another scenery package for X-Plane: SocietyIslands4XPlane. In a first step we focus on Bora Bora & all the other Leeward Islands: Raiatea & Tahaa, Huahine, Maupiti and Tupai – to name just the major ones. As usual for our creations, you can look forward to a custom terrain mesh combined with custom overlays, a couple of airports and a bunch of helipads – everything bundled in a single package. In this thread I will keep you informed about the progress. Further information can be found in the developer blog. First articles are already available, f…

In addition to the german info- and support-thread about Faroes4XPlane: Faroes4XPlane is a scenery package for X-Plane 11, developed by Maps2XPlane in cooperation with Albert Ràfols. It covers the Faroe Islands, which are situated between Norway and Iceland and are mountainous, windy, wet, cloudy and cool, what makes them a really challenging destination for air traffic. Faroes4XPlane features not only the Vágar Airport (realistically sloped, quite short runway) and the eight helipads which are spread over the islands, but also the stunning landscape (about 1.400 square kilometers of custom terrain mesh), seasonal representations as well as Faroese-themed auto…

The antarctic adventures for X-Plane continue! First of all, I'd like to thank Aerosoft for the offer to host my Antarctica4XPlane terrain mesh sceneries for X-Plane as well as the official "info, discussion and support"-forum. What is Antarctica4XPlane? A 3D visualization of the Antarctic continent, for use within the flight simulator X-Plane. It features a realistically shaped terrain model covered with a plausible texture set. The landscape is complemented with dozens of virtual research stations, base camps and airfields as an image of the real counterparts. A brief history! On 17th April 2015 Nino published the idea of a virtual A…

Hi, I had Svalbard XP version 11, and some time ago I bought XP12 version One problem is, as far as I can see, still present, already described some time ago in: I'm curious, is there any chance that we could have tractor on Svalbard and a default TUG in other sceneries? I have participated in the project "LYBI Željava" where we encountered a similar problem, but my colleague was able to make the tractor to be "operational" just on that airfield and not to interfere with other sceneries. I see that many sceneries have dedicated ground services eg. Fuel Trucks, and they do not interfere with others. For now I have removed traktor in the way that was/is ment…

Hello, Been enjoying this scenery for a long time now, but just wanted to ask when the promised update for the Seychelles scenery is planned for XP12? Here are a few suggestions for improvement: Better city texturing (foto real) with autogen on top (city and suburban areas do not look very good) Some of the autogen buildings need updating and improvement (they currently look very basic and cartoonish) More 3D models of hotels and resorts More helipads (there are countless helipads in real life for the various islands while the scenery only covers a few)

First off, thank you so much for making this incredible scenery. I am fortunate to have visited Antarctica once (McMurdo Station) during my time in the U.S. Coast Guard. What an amazing place it is. I'm currently flying an A340-600 from FACT to NZFX (just leveled off at 370). I did notice however when I started in FACT, that when I pulled the map up it was all dark as opposed to how it usually is. When I checked the map while at NZIR it showed up just fine. I'm quite sure I did something wrong, but I'm hoping it can be fixed easily. Please see the attached screenshot. Thank you so much!

I read that there was an update to this scenery dated last Saturday the 26th of october which include these changes Aerosoft.com (261024) Now this is the information over at X-Plane.org which dates back to Feb 3rd of 2023 While the list includes the exact same thing, I begin to wonder what is new in the recent version Did you guys just publish the same update? PS.. If it's the same version, I guess I also have to ask the boys over at .org, why their product is close to 7 dollar more expensive than Aerosoft. X-Plane.org

Hi, When loading the scenery,i've got a sign in front of the aircraft that says sam librairies need to be updated. I've got sam installed but no clues where to install Sam libraries?? Any idea? Regards.

Hello, While slewing around at higher altitude to have a look at the great Svalbard scenery, I noticed that the ground textures become very blurry all around (see attached screenshots). This happens with the camera as low as 3500 ft and visibility set to 100 miles in the weather settings, which I don't think is normal. The same happens in Antarctica with the beautiful Antarctica4XPlane scenery packs. My X-Plane logfile is also attached. Would you have any idea about how to settle these issues ? Thanks a lot in advance and best regards, Raphael Log.txt

Hi, I would like to know whether this scenery can be run with 4GB VRAM, as in the system requirements 8GB are advertised as minimum.

Hi, I couldn't download Antarctica XP (Part 3) 1.0. I've checked previous topic and all of the solutions doesn't work for me, all links ended up showing ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Mark

Sorry to create this topic here, i know that my question is not regarding the: Free Sky Tools (X-Plane), but i found no other place to ask this. Is there anyone able to download the: Antarctica XP ( Everytime that i try do download, any part of it, the download simply doesn't start... Thanks in advance for any help on this problem

Hi, I'm using x-plane 11 from Steam platform, and I suppose there might be some differences to the regular X-plane 11. I also bought the Svalbard DLC over there, and I don't know now how to enable the winter textures? I found the documentation PDF which says I should use JSGME.EXE to activate them, but there was no such file. So I downloaded it, but after launching it there was no mods at all. Neither in the default MODS folder, nor in 'Custom Scenery' folder. Can anybody help me with this, and tell me how to set these winter textures? Thank you in advance if you could.

There is a problem with EKVG in XP12. It causes the sim to crash. The culprit is resource fo_flag.obj. It seems to have an incompatible animation. I replaced it with an empty object. Then the scenery loads. Best Regards Thomas

I'm very tempted to pick up the Society Islands scenery and possibly some others but I was just wondering about X-Plane 12 updates? The 3d waves in XP12 seem to mess with island scenery especially. Thanks!

Note: this is taken using ReShade

Hello! I just bought and downloaded the new Society Islands addons so will use this thread to ask questions that may arise. 1) First one: I already have ortho and airport scenery for the society islands and beyond, so am wanting to know exactly which grids the maps2xplane addons covers so I can delete my other scenery. Is it these below and nothing else or are there others? Also does this addon cover these grids fully? Thanks! 2) i keep seeing these planes parked in a lot of the lots. is this intended? seems kinda out of place

Hello can I will be testing map2xplane. I was waiting for a long time. If now it is payware I can pay to test it. thank you!

Hello, I would really like to use your Antarctica4XPlane_Maps_v2 scene, but unfortunately I am unable to place folders and files correctly. Here is what I do: After unzipping the Antarctica4XPlane_Maps_v2.zip folder, I have: 1 general file "Antarctica4XPlane_Maps_v2" containing: 1 ° / "Resources 1 "bitmaps" sub-folder - 1 "Earth Orbit Textures" sub-folder - 1 "DS_Store" file 1 "map data" sub-folder - 1 "water" sub-folder - 1 "DS_Store" file 2 ° / "screens" folder 3 ° / 1 DS_Store file …

for some reason when i press download nothing happens

I tried to fly a route between FSSB and FSSD via the garmin 430 in my little plane, however it does not have those airports (I assume since you added them?). Is there a way to include the new airports in the GPS database? thank you
