OrthoStreamXP 1.1.1

Highlights

Download scenery packages from within OrthoStreamXP

You no longer need scenery packages before your first flight. OrthoStreamXP can now download the ground mesh of a whole region for you:

  • Europe
  • North America
  • South America
  • Africa
  • Asia
  • Australia and the Pacific

You can download a region from the new Packages page, or right in the setup when you have no packages yet. Each region is installed as a package of its own in your scenery packages folder, next to your own packages.

  • Roads, forests and buildings included. By default, each region comes with X-Plane's roads, forests and buildings for its area. Turn this off if another package of yours already provides them.
  • Stop and resume. A download keeps what it has. Resume continues where it stopped, even after OrthoStreamXP was closed or the connection dropped.
  • Never half-installed. A region appears in your packages folder only once all of it is there.
  • Updates and deletion. When a newer release of a region comes out, the Packages page says Update available. Delete removes a region and its roads, forests and buildings, and leaves other regions untouched.
  • Your packages come first. Your own packages stay above the downloaded regions in X-Plane's scenery list. Where both cover the same area, yours are shown.

Sizes range from about 6 GB (Australia and the Pacific) to about 33 GB (Asia). Leave about 1.7 times the download size free on the drive.

A clearer setup

  • The Scenery packages step now explains what a scenery package is, and what to choose: the folder that holds your packages, not a package itself.
  • If the chosen folder has no packages, the message tells you what to do, and Download a region now opens the list of regions right there.

Documentation

  • New Packages page in the user guide.
  • The First setup and Installation pages describe both ways to get scenery packages: downloading a region in OrthoStreamXP, or using your own.
  • Refreshed screenshots for the setup, Settings, About and the new Packages page.
  • The user guide PDF is attached to this release.

Good to know

  • One region downloads at a time.
  • You can install a new region while OrthoStreamXP runs; it is used from the next start. Updating or deleting a region needs OrthoStreamXP stopped.
  • Where one of your own packages already includes roads, forests and buildings for an area, a downloaded region's may be drawn there too. If you see doubled roads, turn off Roads, forests and buildings before you install, or delete and reinstall the region with it off.

Install or update

  • Already have OrthoStreamXP? Choose Update and restart on the Home page when the update is ready. Stop the scenery streaming first.
  • New install? Download OrthoStreamXP-Setup.msi below and follow the user guide.

Your settings, cache and flight history are kept.
