Home | News | New Release of OpenSceneryX

We have just released a new version of the library.

The installer application has not changed, so if you still have the installer on your machine, just re-run it and it will update the library to the latest. If you have deleted the installer, grab a copy from the OpenSceneryX home page.

Here are the changes:

Version 4.4.0 28th March 2020

• New scenery objects in this version:
  • Incorporated some new items from the SAM Seasons SDK Library by the SAM team into OpenSceneryX, which includes:
    • Spring seasonal variants for all FlyAgi’s vegetation.
    • A set of dirt and grass ground polygons.
    • A set of snowy lines and polygons.
    • A collection of snow pile objects (which only appear in snowy conditions).
    • OpenSceneryX’s first decal! The decal is a snowy overlay to add detail to textures in snowy winter conditions.
    Note that the SAM Seasons SDK library is not fully incorporated, because it contains a lot of content that is not relevant to OpenSceneryX such as the colour variations that are specific to SAM.
• Modified scenery objects in this version:
  • Updated to latest release of the SAM Seasons SDK Library, including:
    • Updated summer, autumn, winter and winter (snow) textures.
    • Improvements to some forests.
  • First phase of work to ensure all textures have DDS versions:
    • All facades done.
    • All lines done.
    • All polygons done.
  • Moved CT-114 to subfolder to avoid problems with documentation category.
  • All forests of boats are now only drawn on water surfaces.
• Other changes:
  • Added support in the Library for season switching using the xEnviro Plugin.
  • The website has been updated to include decals.
  • For deep snowy winter season, we now fall back to standard snowy winter season variants to provide snow when deep snow variants are not available.
  • For Terramaxx deep snowy winter season, we now fall back to deep snowy winter and standard snowy winter season variants to provide snow when Terramaxx-specific deep snow variants are not available.
  • Updated the Backup Library to v2.7.0

Best wishes to everyone, I hope you stay safe and well in these tough times.
