X-EUROPE 5.3, Seasons, Mods

X-EUROPE 5.3

X-EUROPE was updated to v5.3, available as full download or update file from 5.2/5.2.1 to 5.3. Main features are in layer 4-scenery: I’ve corrected the preprocessing which lead in v5.2 to missing height tags and thus smaller objects and buildings and new: complex buildings (building:part in OSM) are now generated.

This version will be the blueprint for next upcoming scenery packages, starting X-AFRICA and then X-AMERICA

X-EUROPE Seasons

The download was updated to 5.3, which covers new VFR objects in layer 1-vfr.

The second mod, sometimes at tile borders you may see tunnels where in reality no tunnel is:

Using the mod you can eliminate the tunnel objects:

In the download of Network mods, the mods are set by default to no vegetation and no tunnels. If you use this mod, please send me a feedback, as I would like to include these mods into X-EUROPE.
