Here you'll find the latest scenery renderings, in the test phase. Please see below before downloading.
Six DSF files from the original US render were damaged and eight were covered in water - this scenery package fixes this. (If you have X-Plane 806 or newer on your DVD, or if you use the global scenery, you do not need these files.)

This custom scenery package removes the generic 3-d buildings from the world outside the US and Europe. Since these buildings look European stylistically, some userse do not like them. Use this custom scenery pack to disable them.

These sceery packages are beta software. That means they are not fully functional and may contain bugs. If you are new to X-plane, do not want to deal with the hastle of bugs, or just want to fly, the simplest thing to do is to ignore these renders and wait for the final releases. They will be widely available to everoyne when finished.
If you do want to try these scenery packages, please understand that they are pre-release test software, which we are sharing to get user feedback and testing time. Please read the notes below before reporting bugs.
If you are not comfortable installing custom scenery packages, please do not use this beta scenery.
All beta scenery is distributed as custom scenery packages. Download the .zip file into the "Custom Scenery" fodler within your X-SYstem folder. Then...
You will get a new folder - inside that folder should be an Earth nav data folder. This means the package is correctly installed and you can delete the .zip file.
If you find a problem wth these renders, please do not file a bug on the X-Plane web page; these files are not part of the simulator itself. Before you report a problem, please compare these files to the previous DSF files for the same area that shipped with X-Plane 8. We are only interested in problems with these files relative to the previous renders.
In other words, if the road you live on is missing in these beta renders and in the original G8 render, please do not report this. But if your road was in the original G8 render and has disappeared when you installed these packages, please do report this to us. Pleaes report bugs to bsupnik at xsquawkbox dot net.
