Create your own custom scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator
Hey guys, in this video GibboIreland introduces us a relatively easy way to create your own custom scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator, using photogrammetry data externally. A way for non-developer's to easily create scenery? Without Blender? Yes please!
In this example, Gibbo selects Croke Park in Dublin for a scenery POI - but it could be any location of your choice - from your house to a monument to everything in between - once you have photogrammetry data available!
Be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!

Great stuff Gibbo. I’d love a tutorial on how to make all those adjustments
Just saw your very interesting video after a recommendation - very good! Now subscribed!! One of the things that really bugs me in MSFS is that grass lengths are far too long on grass runways. Any chance you could do a quick and simple video on how we can get the grass shortened? It really would be very useful to me and the many other GA flyers out there!
Nice work!
I would love a tutorial on how to do this. I am familiar with the import app but I have no idea what to do with the XML files.
Nice one Gibbo
I live out at Saggart and would love to improve the images of the area. I landed a FS2020 helicopter in the street where my grandchildren live, they weren't very impressed. So yes please a tutorial would be great 👍
This is awesome. I’m hoping to remodel Blackpool like this as the default scenery for Blackpool is abysmal and even the best add-ones leave a lot to be desired. It will be a big job but if I can at least remodel about 3 blocks back from the seafront and put in the winter gardens as no add-on has acknowledged the existence of the winter gardens or Madame Tussaud’s or the Golden mile amusements. Should be an improvement.
the genious 🤯
Thank you very much!!! i will give it a try. Currently i am at downloading the map data. XML editing i am curious, i can slow mo the video so no issue here.
Any idea if your files will work with xbox when it comes out ? Oh awesome job 👏.
Not sure, it is possible to share custom scenery but currently not to Xbox
Brilliant result. Can you do a super slooooowwwww version of each of the steps?
Thanks! And yep, if there’s enough interest in a tutorial I can certainly do one :-)
I agree just explaining what you do and why in one or two of the steps it would of made a huge difference and possibly gone from unfollowable to a really good intro
Hey Murphy... thanks for this tutorial. I'm a photoshop user who would like to do the same batch color correction you're doing with the photoshop action MSFS FIX. Can you possibly give us a head start by offering this action to us in a link? I, for one, would be very grateful. Installing an action is eary with photoshop.
The decoder file you referring to is not and .exe and more but a zip with only 2 files. Is there another way to download this decoder? Thanks in advance
Yeah, instead of dealing with 4,000 files, you could have put the model into Blender, combined them all, cut off what you didn't need, and combine the textures. Probably would have taken you like 2% the time.
Hey great video guys. Is this possible to do on X box series x? If it's not I'd love to be able to pay someone to enhance my city of Kilkenny as it has 3d photogrammetry. It would be cool to pay for a certain area and drop it in over the bing maps earth.
Heya Stewart - at the moment there is no option to do this on the Xbox - but if anything changes - I will let you know
So is this scenery will apply to your computer only? Or it will be globally to any MFS2020 users. Meaning if I open the flight sim and fly to that location. The question: Shall I would find that scenery that you had created or not? Note: I’m using Xbox, and I wonder if this will work on your computer only or if it’s globally. Kindly feedback.
Computer only
Hi! is there template for fs project? so i just need to inject the google earth data and then pt it in fs2020??
Does the google earth model have night textures?
When I am in earth2 msjs and click download the scenery in earth 2 msfs it doesnt work reply
Just an FYI I use a popular program called Affinity Photo and it's a one-time $50 (No Subscription and it's just as good as photoshop IMO if not much better in terms of performance and It can batch color correct 2500 textures in about 10secs
How did you create the XML File.
Great idea but for anyone who hasn't ever touched MSFS development, as soon as you said about setting up files, you lose us. Setting them for what? As what? Where and why do we need to do that? All we see if fast forwarded changes and that it changes the files I love the showcase idea but it's way to fast and vague in many ideas to be able to follow if not done any editing before. I really want to add my village in the sim as the rendering of it seems way off but this hasn't left me any the wiser sadly. :/
You might have missed where it’s mentioned as not a tutorial but rather to show whats possible. Very happy to do a tutorial if the interest is there.
@@gibboireland ah my apologies then, I went back and it was in the nearly 60 seconds where was the thumbnail and I always skip them as use to it being a minute or two of waiting for stream to start. It was very much delivered as a tutorial than a typical showcase plus the thumbnail looks like a guide thumbnail (especially given the difficulty slider which I have only ever seen on kits/tutorials myself) hence why I brought this up. Re the interest, there's been a good number of people already say they want one so I hope to see one out soon :)
Please do a slow step by step tutorial, I want to fi9nd a model of and incorporate the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells Texas.
It looks good, but I couldn't 100% recreate what you did here. I keep getting errors like "missing", "not found", "doesn't exist", "unknown". A detailed tutorial would be fantastic even if you don't see crowds asking for it. Thanks in advance!
Why didn't you just cut the building out of the rest of the terrain?
It looks way better but what a lots of faffing for something that should do it properly in the first place. I've had to turn off photogrammerty because all of the buildings just look melted and skewed with stretched textures everywhere I go and I can't see myself doing this for everywhere I like to fly.
it depends on a lot of things. Some areas are better than others, server lag, bandwidth, etc. I think the main issue with this tech is that from 2000-3000 feet up it can look amazing. Any lower, without custom built objects, it can look a bit odd. Early days yet though - give it time, it can only get better
They did croke park dirty they put a random building in one of the stands
At the moment, its AI based scenery drawing. In time, these areas will get more attention. Orbx are working on a Dublin City scenery...
Hi
Hey there!
This explanation is not good, where is the file XML ??????!!!!!
Nice try but pretty useless to us who wanna do this from the very beguining...otherwise a tutorial would be much more useful!
this is a horrible tutorial
Welcome all feedback. Do tell me, what EXACTLY is horrible and that I can improve?
dude honestly, i am glad to have a tutorial at all even though some points are speed up
What do you mean “get my file structure ready, I’ll just speed through this” ? Shouldn’t I be doing the same file structure ? Man I could just frisbee whip my fkn laptop out into the fkn yard right now. I have no idea what you did when it just blows through 30 screens. I fkn hate MSFS. None of my file folders are named exactly like what yours are.
Yup you need to do the same file structure. Lazy tutorial video
Hey great video guys. Is this possible to do on X box series x? If it's not I'd love to be able to pay someone to enhance my city of Kilkenny as it has 3d photogrammetry. It would be cool to pay for a certain area and drop it in over the bing maps earth.
How big is Kilkenny?
@@GVoidV2 I'm not exactly sure but if it was the main city centre done then that would be so awesome.
