maps2xplane 312 Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 As mentioned, one key feature of Seychelles4XPlane is a custom terrain mesh for a photo-realistic rendition of the entire archipelago. The mesh will be complemented with a custom overlay, featuring -beside others- dense tropical vegetation on the islands. Two selected snapshots, just to get an idea about the work in progress: Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.

maps2xplane 312 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 After having first looks on the landscape and the helipads, it's now definitively the time to take also a closer look at the airports. Let's start with the two largest: Please login to display this image. <<< Seychelles International Airport (FSIA) Please login to display this image. <<< Regional Praslin Island Airport (FSPP) More snapshots and infos in the newest publication on my website.

maps2xplane 312 Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Please login to display this image. A stunning landscape awaits you with more than a dozen scenic landing-sites: Seychelles International Airport, Praslin Island Airport and thirteen additional airfields and four heliports which are spread over the smaller islands of the Seychelles archipelago. But be prepared for challenging approaches: The island-runways are all quite short, embedded in dense tropical vegetation, and four of them are even unpaved grass airstrips. In short: Island hopping as its best! Seychelles XP is available here in the Aerosoft Shop. Further information and tons of snapshots can be found in the release notes on my website.

Please update your X-Plane installation. You're currently running X-Plane 11.40r2. You need at least 11.41r1. Just run the "X-Plane 11 Installer" which you'll find in the X-Plane 11 installation directory. Let me know, if it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maps2xplane 312 Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Good news: Seychelles XP has been updated! The new version fixes a few issues with the terrain mesh for X-Plane 12 beta/early access. It hotfixes, inter alia, "gaps" between waterbodies and landmasses. BTW: A more extensive update of Seychelles XP - which will then also make use of new X-Plane 12 features - is planned for a later date, when X-Plane 12 is in a more advanced stage.

Seychelles XP awaits you with a stunning landscape, the International Airport on Mahé, the Regional Airport on Praslin, and more than a dozen additional, scenic landing-sites for your smaller aircrafts and helicopters.

Jan R. Storelvmo 67 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Hello! Been enjoying this scenery in XP11/12 for a while now. Is there any news on the bigger update promised of this scenery? Also, any chance you will convert this to MSFS as well? Could also need a few more heliports added. There are literally tons of helipads scattered around in the real world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your feedback, we're very happy that you enjoy Seychelles XP! As for another update: Unfortunately no news yet. We're still waiting for a few XP12 features to be finalized and documented... Anyways, additional heliports are already on the list of ideas, but no decision made on what will be included in another update. Any specific wishes? Anyways, we'll keep you posted! And as far as a port of #Seychelles4XPlane for MSFS is concerned, such is rather unlikely, because there is already a Seychelles scenery from FSDG for MSFS. (who knows, maybe we'll teamup for a MSFS 2024 version, but no promises...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan R. Storelvmo 67 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Thanks for the reply and update! As for a MSFS version, yes there is one available from FSDG but it's not very good and has many issues. It's a dirty port-over of a product originally developed for FSX back in 2013 (yes, 10 years old, and wasn't particularly outstanding even back then), then ported over to P3D before being ported over again to MSFS. Your version of the Seychelles is far more detailed and better. In MSFS you have all the tools available in the sim, which makes the process far easier and quicker. MSFS 2024 version or not, I would be happy to join a team working on a project like that. With all heliports and airstrips modelled it would make up for a very unique scenery for island hopping for both fixed-wing and heli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenJetsam 1 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Hi all, I purchased this awesome scenery for XP11 through the steam store, I can see that it has been updated to XP12 for free (thank you so much) so it turns up in my XP12 steam library. However, I didn't purchase XP12 through steam, I got it through LR directly. My issue is that I want to install the XP12 version of the scenery but steam wont let me as I don't own the base game on steam. Any ideas on what I can do?? TIA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your purchase and your feedback: We are very pleased that you like Seychelles XP! As for your question: I'm not aware of any solution to work around this specific situation on Steam. You could contact Aerosoft Support directly and ask if they can unlock your Steam purchase on Aerosoft One. (Enclose a proof of your Steam purchase with your request) The quickest solution, however, is to copy the XP11 version to XP12 by hand. That's possible, because the current XP11 version, which you can download via Steam, also contains the XP12 version. You should find detailed instructions for installation by hand in the manual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant I’ll give that a go! Ah so I have XP11 still installed on steam with the scenery, so the version that downloads to the XP11 version is identical to the XP12 version? I will try that thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This applies to the current version of Seychelles XP, but may change in the future when we implement XP12-specific features and have an XP12-specific version. At the moment, however, copying Seychelles XP from XP11 to XP12 should work without any issues. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeliGui 3 Posted Saturday at 05:10 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:10 PM I bought the Seychelles Island and there must be a problem with the trees, I already reinstalled the package using the aerosoft application and it didn't solve the problem. What should I do to fix this bug? The forests on the islands of Tahiti and Bora Bora are working. I'm using X-Plane 12. Awaiting return. Please login to display this image.

Developer FlyAgi 396 Posted Saturday at 08:29 PM Developer Share Posted Saturday at 08:29 PM That looks weird indeed. You did not accidentally reduce vegetation density to lowest levels in XP options? But there might also be an issue with scenery order or some other package is overriding your trees somehow with placeholders... Anyway, please upload a log.txt file so we can investigate this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Você não reduziu acidentalmente a densidade da vegetação para níveis mais baixos nas opções XP? Mas também pode haver um problema com a ordem do cenário ou algum outro pacote está substituindo suas árvores de alguma forma com espaços reservados... De qualquer forma, faça o upload de um arquivo log.txt para que possamos investigar isso. Could it be Orbx “Global Forests v2” that is causing this conflict? I have it installed here.

HeliGui 3 Posted Saturday at 09:28 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:28 PM Fixed the conflict. It was “Global Forests v2”, it worked here by placing it on the line below Thanks for your attention Flyagi, I hadn't remembered that detail.
