Hi Q8! I just want to show my appreciation of your efforts in making X-Plane guides and being one of the few youtubers who stream X-Plane till date! Your videos and streams have helped me immensely in setting up my x-plane and making addon decisions. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for this tutorial. I'm absolutely sick of MSFS 2020 and its never fixed problems. Moving over to X-Plane 12 very soon now. I have a question, if you can answer it. Do you recommend buying 12 via Steam or straight from the X-Plane website? Thanks in advance.
Just 2 reminders: You have to boot X-plane 12 once in order to the new folders appear on the .ini file. Also, it is advisable that you open the notepad and drag the ini file to it, since that by default, Windows won't open INI files on notepad.
Thanks for another great short, very informative and useful video to install the SimHeaven products that are really a game-changer in my view in XP, I've been using them for quite some time nos. Just a quick note: you showed the installation of the vegetation library for Windows, and for Mac Users, there are 3 possible approaches to installing the vegetation library, all indicated in the "Important ReadMe" txt file that's in the folder. I chose the 3rd one. Cheers and safe flying
Very clearly explained video as usual. I actually manage my scenery packs.ini file differently. I rename my scenery folders in alphabetical order. For example I renemed the Simheaven folders so that they begin with with the letter "n". This way when installing a new scenery I just need to delete the scenery packs.ini file and X-plane rebuilds it in the correct order. (I'm probably not the only one who does it this way.)
Hello my friend and Thank you so much for another very informative and perfectly explained tutorial. This is another example why you are so unique and brings enormous value to the community!! What would we do without you?
Thank you. I was really interested in the plane you were flying and it took me a lot of zooming before I could read on the dash that it was Vflyteair's Piper E1000. Maybe you can watermark info on the planes you show in such cases and get a little extra ad revenue. ;) Thx again for the video
@@Q8Pilot Hello sir, when I begin a new flight XP 12 tells me there is an error in 3 scenery libraries. States they are missing or have been moved. I have ensured that the libraries are in sequential order in the .ini file. Can I just ignore this? The scenery looks better with more buildings in city areas. Just not sure if the alert is normal.
Clear instructions, great I did what you indicated in the tutorial. However, when extracting the Sim Heaven Vegetarian Library, I do not see it appear in the Custom scenery folder. I solved this by extracting the zip file in a completely different folder. And then copy-pasting this file into the custom scenery folder. However, I see that the BAt file does not work. I manually adjusted the scenery_pack ini file. I hope it works
If you experience FPS drop, reduce the world distance slider one notch and you should be fine. Personally I haven't see any drop, but in complex areas like LAX, I did notice a bit of a drop.
If you could add how to exclude some streets from runways that would be awesome. I have that problem at ESSA and I don't dare to randomly change Open Street Maps...
Hi, really appreciate your time explaining everything in detail but I have encountered something which I am not sure how this happened. After arranging everything in order after global airports my chosen city is still in water like I have downloaded ASIA and OMDB (Dubai Airport) is still under water.
Hey Q8 pilot thanks for the video I followed your steps but in the .INI file below Global Airports it doesn´t show anything, it is actually above the GTlobal airports line, does it make a difference?
Hi Q8, have you noticed there is an annoying frame skip exactly every 1 minute during replay mode ( at 1:00 minute, 2:00 minute, 3:00 minute and so on )? Not sure what x-plane is cooking at these timestamps. I reported this bug to the support team but they ignored it. Could this be related to scenery?
Works on any operating system. Only the vegetation library needs a symbolic link, which you have to create once after installing the library. There is a batch (.bat) file that does that automatically for windows. For Mac or Linux you have to do it manually, but that is not hard and explained in the documentation of X-World.
Hello, please tell me when installing ortho4xp , trees and houses appeared in uuu, uudd.I can't figure out how to fix it. When I delete ortho4xr -only Moscow, then everything is fine. Scenarios are okay. Xorganizer doesn't show any errors either.
good info, but you forgot to mention the need to run Xplane12 once to populate scenery ini file. Otherwise ini file will not show SimHeaven files. Have a great day...
Hello, How long did it take you to copy Simheaven contend to your custom scenery folder? I ask because mine is currently showing time remaining is more than one day, and it's been sitting at 0% complete for the past 35 minutes. Any idea?
Thanks for all your efforts with Sim Heaven. I have downloaded and extracted all the files including the vegetation file into my Xplane 12 scenerey folder and sorted them, so they are in the right order 1 -8 below Global Airports. All looked to be correct, but when I opened Xplane 12 I get the following report "The following scenery packages have a problem and will not therefore be loaded" refers to Europe 4 -extras, Euope 6 -scenery, and Europe 7 -forests. Please advise how to resolve. Thank you. Keith
@@Q8Pilot yes, but when I run the scenery_packs.ini i get the following pop message - "This app won't run on your PC" . I thought I had managed to wrok round it but apprently not. Thanks for your help. Keith
@@Q8Pilot Hello Q8. I have noticed that in the downloads with the vegetation folder there is a file Forests 1200, but when I try to open it I get the following message : "Scenery\simHeaven_X-World_Vegetation_Library\SimHeaven_X-World_Vegetation_Library\1...forest is unavailable." Please advise how to resolve.
is it common to have "time remaining:more than 1 day" whilst copying the files from the directory to the custom scenery file? I have high speed internet and its going from m.2 to m.2... I understand its alot of files, but its only 15gb. That should take maybe 10-15 minutes to download usually.
I use ORBX from time to time, but it causes major FPS drop in some locations. I will wait for official support from ORBX. For now, simHeaven with Ortho works wonders.
Hi sorry to bother you, but I am having issues with installing simheaven X world Asia, as it pops up in the right corner that both x world asia scenery & extra folder says "it requires an additional library scenery package" and i cant load anything despite loading it in the correct order, desperately want some help for autogens. i am a X Plane 11 user, want to know if is it not working because I'm not using XP12 or any other reasons? thank you very much
@@Q8Pilot I installed both the XP11 version and XP12 version for the veg library from simheaven, however when i drag either XP11 or XP12 ver of the veg library it shows the same thing, that the two folders cannot be loaded. I also want to know if I have to purchase XP12 in order to use X world (i really hope not) :((
Cool stuff. I just wish somebody would come up with an all in 1 solution which gives you all the openmaps stuff, as well as ortho and mesh. And if it included better lighting and real time weather, that would be awesome. I guess what I want is MSFS ;)
No this is not Ortho, X-World brings buildings, vegetation, etc in accordance with Open Street Map. It places buildings, trees, and other objects in accordance with real life. So when you fly in Europe, you will find European style houses and correct tree types...etc
@@Q8Pilot thats what i did now getting error message ..... there was a problem loading scenery package,Custom scenery/simheaven_world_europe-8-network, hmm
Can’t say if it will be more stable for you since stability of programs can vary from setup to setup. I can say it does wonders for the default scenery, whether you use orthos or not. It’s not ortho or mesh, so it won’t alter terrain. What it will do is make the placement of buildings and vegetation more closely match that of the real world. It also improves the accuracy of streets and roads, and adds distinct VFR landmarks like stadiums and towers.
Loved this mate - thank you so much. Also just noticed a 70k milestone. Congratulations my friend

Q8, thanks for doing this!!
As a note, I had seen in another video that ALL payware scenery should be moved to the bottom of the .ini file. Can anyone confirm that?
@@Mr.Martini549 No that's not required. Just place X-World folders below global airports. You are good to go then.
Thanks for watching my friend!

Many thanks. It looks interesting, but is it Windows only? I run XP on a Mac and suspect that it may not work there.
I believe it works on Windows only.

What's the deal between autoortho and SimHeaven? Which one is better in your opinion? Thanks!
They do different things. AutoOrtho is about the photo textures. SimHeaven changes the 3D objects, roads, vegetation...etc based on Open Street Maps.
Thank you! I finally got it 🤣 @@Q8Pilot

Since it gets its data from the internet.
