How to Download OpenSceneryX

You use the OpenSceneryX Installer to install the library. The installer is a small desktop application which you download first. When you run it, the installer checks your local OpenSceneryX version and works out which files are missing. It then downloads what is necessary to bring it up to date.

The latest version of the installer is always available from the OpenSceneryX home page and the release notes for the latest version of the library are available here.

Public Betas

We are not running any public beta testing at the moment. Any future betas will be announced and linked from here.

  1. I have uninstalled OpenSceneryX by deleting the folder, but WED is still referring in the Forest object to the OpenSceneryX library. Should I change/delete more stuff?

    Your support is much appreciated!

    • WED itself doesn’t refer to OpenSceneryX objects, but scenery packages you open in WED may do. So you’ll need to find out which scenery packages are using OpenSceneryX and move those out of your X-Plane folder.

  2. Hello,
    I try to install OpenSceneryX in a Windows 10 (64 bit) environment via the installer (version 2.1.0b3) . The program guides me through the set up but when it asks me to select the path to x-plane 11’s custom scenery folder it does not recognize it finally. Can you help me, please?

    best regards

  3. To anyone who fail to initiate the installer on Windows 7, I was able to install the package with “Run as administrator” option, hope this will help our fellow XPlane fans!

    Thank you aussi, although I haven’t tried the sceneries which use your asset yet, I appreciate the effort you put into this.

  5. Trying to get the latest version OpenSceneryx. Downloaded new installer and it indicates files installed but no file to be found in my custom scenery (or anywhere else). The installer shows up fine wherever I place it – now in the custom scenery file. I’ve watched installation videos and checked forum comments and seem to have done everything correctly but the file just does not show up. Is there a link to manually download the file? (Found an old one but page won’t open). Using Windows10 and latest xp11. Any suggestions appreciated.

  6. Hello team
    mt 2.6.0 installer crashes at the very initrial step when I run the installer.exe file (even as administrator).

    Any suggestions?

    OS. Windows10
    xPlane version: 11.35

    Thanks in advance for help.

    • This has been reported by users a couple of times, but usually it somehow manages to fix itself before it can be investigated further. Have you tried re-running it since the initial failure?

      Also, can you clarify whether the installer launches and shows its window, or fails to launch at all? If it launches, at which step does it crash and does it show any error messages?

      • Hi,
        magic happens !
        After several attempts over the past 3 days, eventually today the installer started and it’s now running properly, without any change.
        Thanks for reply, anyway.

        D.

        • Strange, that’s another case of the problem mysteriously fixing itself – you’re the third or fourth person to report this on Win 10 but I’ve never seen it myself in testing.

          Glad it’s working for you now!

  7. Hello. After opening opensceneryx, shadows under trees and vegetation do not appear. I think it causes flyagi_vegetation library integrated into opensceneryx. Is this graphical problem that does not display shadows under trees and vegetation somehow solve?

  8. Hi,
    Is there any chance to get older version of Open scenery x? Im running on OSX 10.9.5 and upgrade scares me, as Im running some other important soft. And if it breaks and I need to reinstall it all…Its just killing. 😀
    Thx for reply. And. You are doing nice job. 🙂
