[X-Plane 10 preview]

From Ben's X-plane developer blog.

"First: if you want to use our art assets, you get them via the library. Almost every scenery art asset we provide in X-Plane sits in the library somewhere. This includes most of the art assets we use to build airport apt.dat layouts. So whether you want our lego brick terminals, ATC voices, taxiway centerline light strings, or autogen buildings, they’re all in the library and you can “just use them” in your custom scenery by referencing the library."

AWESOME!

Yes, this sounds great. I have been reading Ben's blog today and am excited about the information that they have provided the community. I think the collaboration that can occur from the community in creating the lego bricks is going to bring a very new dimension to this sim. I know that I will be just as interested in creating and sharing beautiful visuals as I will be in flying through them.

This is a mix of autogen and placed objects. But with the point and click interface it's so easy to add objects. More images as we get them.

Thanks for the inforation Mathijs. Question for you, I thought the point and click interface for adding objects was only for airports. Are you saying that XP10 has a library of objects for non-airport scenery and will allow us to place them wherever we want? That would be great if this is possible. Please let us know. Thanks.
