X-Plane scenery

X-Plane California Complete Photoreal Scenery

California’s entire state coverage arrives in crisp photoreal satellite textures with detailed elevation mesh and Ortho4XP overlays for roads and autogen, replacing default ground scenery with recognizable coastlines, deserts, farmland, and national parks in X-Plane 11 and 12. Version 5 expands higher-resolution coverage around airports and improves color, water masks, and blending with neighboring regions.

Expert Overview

This comprehensive scenery upgrade transforms the entirety of California into photoreal landscapes for X-Plane 11 and 12 by blending precise satellite imagery, custom elevation data, and sleek road/autogen overlays. Having tested it myself, I can confirm it adds a stunning new level of depth to landmarks, national parks, and coastal regions, making every flight feel remarkably authentic.

Now at version 5, it features improved color correction, expanded high-resolution areas around airports, and enhanced water masking for shoreline detail. It also seamlessly blends with adjacent regions, including Mexico, and works best alongside a high-quality mesh scenery package for even greater realism. From my experience, this truly breathes life into the simulator’s skies while maintaining solid performance and providing a visually satisfying journey over California’s diverse terrain.

Image showing the coastline upgrade after installing in XP11.The complete state of California in high-resolution photoreal detail with elevation data, and overlays (roads, autogen, etc.) for X-Plane 12 and 11. Version 5.

This is a complete package of photoreal scenery containing the entire state of California for X-Plane 11 - no additional downloads are needed. The scenery is sourced from satellite data and imagery and compiled into X-Plane format using Ortho4XP.

The package is large - it may take a long while to download on most Internet connections - you will also need lots of disk space to install the scenery.

The scenery provided really brings the entire state of CA to life. Gone are the default ground textures. You can find real-to-life scenery and notice landmarks, terrain, farmland, and national parks all as they would be if flying over the landscape physically.

Some great airports to start from to see the scenery:

  • Agua Caliente Airport (San Diego County)
  • Oceano County Airport (Oceano)
  • Lee Vining Airport (Mono County)
  • Trinity Center (Trinity Center)
  • Catalina (Avalon, Catalina Island)
  • Kern Valley Airport (Kernville)
  • Half Moon Bay Airport (Half Moon Bay)

Version 5 updates include:

  • ZL17 radius increased from 4km to 15km near airports
  • Now blends seamlessly with my Mexico Orthophoto package.
  • Curve Tolerance lowered from 1.0 to 0.7
  • Improved color correction
  • Better blending with adjacent states
  • Water Mask Width increased from 8 to 25
  • Water Mask fixes
  • Vandenberg area replaced with ZL14 Sentinal-2 imagery. Unfortunately, the USGS server used previously has been taken offline.
  • HD Mesh Scenery v4 enabled by default. HD Mesh V3 also included for XP10 users (rename yOrtho4XP_Overlays_v3 folder to yOrtho4XP_Overlays)

The entire package has been "pre-compiled" or "built" - so there is no need to run any lengthy conversion before using - simply download and install. We found that users were willing to suffer longer download times instead of running lengthy batch conversions (JPG to DDS) themselves.

If you find this useful, please consider donating to the original author - details can be found in the readme file inside the ZIP package.

This package works best with a high-quality mesh scenery add-on to really bring the scenery to life. We recommend the HD Mesh v4 from AlpilotX which can be downloaded here.

Developer: The original package was compiled by Forkboy2 and built/converted and repackaged by Fly Away Simulation.

How to install this mod

X-Plane scenery

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Copy into Custom Scenery

    Place the scenery folder into X-Plane 12/Custom Scenery/.

  3. Set scenery load order

    X-Plane loads sceneries top-to-bottom from Custom Scenery/scenery_packs.ini. Custom airports should be ABOVE mesh and ortho-imagery.

  4. Restart X-Plane

    Close X-Plane completely and relaunch. The new content loads automatically.

  5. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

Great package, nice to see the world as it really appears;)

I followed the recommendation by the author and downloaded "the HD Mesh v4 from AlpilotX" to match this area as well.

Is there something I need to remove from the original "X-Plane California Complete Photoreal Scenery" files/folders since I have the HD mesh files? Looking at the file and folder names there seems to be some duplication or overlap but those files exist in both .

Thanks

Here is a copy of the end of my scenery_packs.ini file if that helps.

    FYI, this photo-real data set stops at -115°, so the SE part of the state (Blythe, Colorado River, Needles, etc.) are not covered. I found this out when I tried to make a loop flight around the Turtle Mountains and realized the photo scenery ended and X-Plane's default scenery took over.

    Much of the rest of the state is well covered, and looks great.

    Beautiful scenery but it's missing some things that the instructions say is in the package. It says these four folders are in the package:

    • yOrtho4XP_Overlays_XP11
    • yOrtho4XP_Overlays_XP10
    • yOrtho4XP_Overlays_HDv4
    • yOrtho4XP_Overlays_HDv3

    But those folders don't exist, there's only one folder besides the photoscenery and that is just called yOrtho4XP_Overlays_v3.

    I am really confused, what happened to v4 the overlays? And is the v3 overlay folder contained in the package standard or HD? It doesn't say. I appreciate the efforts of people to make these beautiful scenery packages for free but please at least update your instructions so it's not so confusing.

    Hi, can you please check out KSAN RWY 27 there are a lot of small hills on the runway. Alternatively, give me the name of the file with those specific coordinates to remove it from the scenery

    Lots of buildings missing in the San Francisco area using V5 on the MacBook M1. Help? I've tried positioning the scenery .ini in different orders and nothing.

    Would love to download this but 126.26 GB?!!! That would take me at least 6 days! Be nice if it was in smaller bits, like about 7GB @.

    I love it! It looks beautiful. Death Valley looks so much more real than in MSFS. Well worth the download and disk space. It brings California to life!

    Can FlyAwaySim please offer a better explanation of the install steps? The readme.txt is not clear.

    There are 3 folders after the unzip, please explain exactly what to do with them. What is "HD Mesh Scenery v4 enabled by default. HD Mesh V3 also included for XP10 users (rename yOrtho4XP_Overlays_v3 folder to yOrtho4XP_Overlays)", written above on this page, supposed to mean?

    Is that some indication on how to install into the Custom Scenery Folder? Not clear.

    If you have the hardware (GPU, CPU, Mem, Disk) go for it!!

    Hi, can this be installed on a Mac computer?

    I had downloaded the SF area earlier and was very impressed with it. But adding the entire state California with its massive file size didn't impress me at all. Maybe I didn't do something right. Any thoughts?
