Our team is heavily working on the next exciting project, the new X-WORLD Pro. Here are first infos and screenshots. Main features are:

  • use of actual openstreetmap data and new: global building data bases covering almost all buildings of the world
  • new: generated using OSM2XP 5.0.4
  • new: road traffic is adapted to local conditions, meaning that there is less traffic in rural areas and more traffic in large cities
  • new: road traffic depends on the time of day, which means there is a lot of traffic during rush hour and little traffic at night
  • new: different speed for trucks and cars
  • new: plugin for controlling road traffic density
  • new: local objects for road and rail traffic
  • new: smoke and steam for chimneys and cooling towers
  • new: fountains, geysers, water jets
  • new: farmland (cereal, barley, oats, rice, rye, cassava, cotton, soy, sugarcane, sunflower, hop, flower, lavender, vegetable)
  • new: water basins
  • new: golf courses
  • new: plant nurseries
  • new: much more VFR objects for Germany and Austria
  • new: exact objects for many bridges
  • new: more local assets for the Med region of Europe
  • new: assets especially for Western France
  • parking for cars improved
  • orchards improved
  • improved batch for the symbolic link to XP12 assets

planned and to do:

  • use of XP12 assets where possible
  • region definition per polygon, not tile by tile, to be more exactly esp. in the Alps
  • new facades for greenhouses

Improving website performanceImproving website performance

To improve performance of our website simheaven.com, we are actually upgrading our servers and implement other things, e.g. Install an objects cache, implementing CDN network, change the SQL server to a high performance server.

During this time, you could have problems downloading files. If so, please wait for some hours and try again.

The performance upgrade is needed to handle the huge traffic if the next strongly improved version of X-WORLD will be published, this will be in 2 – 3 months. So there is enough time to test and improve performance of simHeaven servers.

If you like the upgrade (and our sceneries, of course) and want to help us to handle the costs (high speed web servers aren’t cheap) , please consider about doing a donation. 😉
