Using some tools you can create night tiles and also seasonally tiles for winter flying. This reduces file size dramatically, as you see in the example. That means, if you fly IFR, you have the same impressions from cockpit, the closer you get to the airport the greater ZL you have. But you can also mix within the tile, having a “IFR” scenery in ZL18 at the airport, ZL17 around, decreasing to ZL16 at 10 miles. having ZL17 for Manhattan and ZL 16 in the neighbourhood. Normal photo sceneries have one ZL for one tile.

Generating overlays is not needed if you use simHeavens continental X-… packages.įor tiles in ZL16/17 for Europe please refer toĪ tile – which is 1 x 1 degree – needs in ZL16 2 GBytes, in ZL17 8 GB and in ZL18 32GB space on your harddisk, 7-zip-compressed to download it is 1,5GB for ZL16, and 6GB for ZL17. If you do your own orthos using Ortho4XP, I recommend to do it in ZL 17 and around airports in ZL 19. Otherwise you get in trouble with memory overflow, decreasing frame rates, loading time before and during flight and maybe harddisk capacity. So if you look at the pictures below, showing different ZL at 5ft, which is a appropriate altitude for VFR pilots, you’ll see ZL 16 or 17 is sufficient. The bigger the zoom level (ZL) is, the more file size, download time, decrease in frame rates in your simulator. Photo or ortho sceneries are available or can be generated in different resolutions.
