X-Plane 11 Leipzig VFR Scenery

Expert Overview

This custom scenery delivers a rich 3D representation of Leipzig and its neighboring towns, allowing pilots to soak in beautifully modeled architecture and landmarks while cruising over Saxony. From Leipzig’s distinctive skyline to the baroque charm of Oranienbaum and the historic center of Wittenberg, each settlement feels alive with remarkable attention to detail. Flying at lower altitudes amplifies the experience, as familiar town layouts and unique points of interest become instantly recognizable under Visual Flight Rules.

Developed by Gunther Kremp, this mod integrates seamlessly into X-Plane 11 through a set of essential community libraries that ensure each building, monument, and green space appears with impressive accuracy. Every custom element—from Dessau’s iconic structures to the carefully rendered rural enclaves—enhances situational awareness and immersion, making this freeware add-on a standout choice for simmers seeking a more vivid rendition of Germany’s diverse landscapes. In my testing, the performance remained consistent even over densely populated areas, further highlighting its value for those who appreciate scenic flights over cultural and metropolitan hubs.
