X-Codr, a well-known developer on the flight simulation scene, has today taken to the X-Plane.org Forums to announce the release of new scenery for X-Plane 11. Although the scenery is titled Mammoth Yosemite Airport, it in fact covers over 120 square miles of area including the town of Mammoth and Mammoth Mountain Ski Area.
The scenery itself features, for example, advanced PBR normal maps, highly detailed buildings, realistic 3D vegetation for the entire airport, or “lite” interiors for all buildings. Furthermore, wet ground textures for the airport are included together with automatic seasonal variations and custom mesh for the entire area. As usual, the complete feature list can be found below.
Coverage Map
If you want to purchase the scenery, you can do so for $19.95 through the X-Plane.org Store.
Regarding the MSFS version of the scenery, it was confirmed in an earlier forum post, that X-Codr has no plans to port anything to the new simulator. It was explained to be due to the “half finished buggy SDK“.
