The freeware scenery library OpenSceneryX has been updated to V4.1.0, which primarily adds two other freeware libraries into the package: Flags of the World by Mr 3D and Chris Noe, and Flags of the USA by the same people. Further to these additions, a number of smaller changes in and around the freeware library was made.

The full change-log, posted on OpenSceneryX's website, can be seen here:

New scenery objects in this version:

• Added all flags from Flags of the World by Mr 3D and Chris Noe into OpenSceneryX. Note that the versions included in OpenSceneryX are rotated 90° from the originals, to conform to the standard of being aligned with the wind when placed at 0° (default) rotation.
• Added all flags from Flags of the USA by Mr 3D and Chris Noe into OpenSceneryX. Note that the versions included in OpenSceneryX are rotated 90° from the originals, to conform to the standard of being aligned with the wind when placed at 0° (default) rotation.
• Added missing temperate conifer forests from FlyAgi Vegetation library.

Modified scenery objects in this version:

• Replaced Finland and UK flags with new versions from Flags of the World, which no longer need a plugin for the animation. As a result of this, these flags are now correctly oriented to the wind when placed at 0° rotation (default). IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have already used either of these flags in a scenery package, please ensure the rotation is reset to 0°.
• All the new lines added from DT_Library in v4.0.0 were missing their normal textures. These have now been added.

Other changes:

• Support upcoming feature of WED to lock the rotation of an object to a specific angle (e.g. for objects that rotate in the wind). All existing objects in OpenSceneryX that rotate in the wind have had this attibute added, to lock them to 0° rotation.
• Object dimensions are now interrogated directly from the model, automatically. All objects in the library have had their dimensions injected into the documentation.
• All items with seasonal variants can now have multiple seasonal screenshots in the documentation, displayed as an image carousel. Here’s a nice example. All objects have had seasonal screenshots generated, but forests probably won’t as screenshots have to be created by hand for those, and it would ba a mammoth task.
• Updated the Backup Library to v2.4.0
• Added a couple more simHeaven export paths for wind tur?bines for use in their packages.
• The website descriptions of the Hawker Seafury and Supermarine Spitfire were swapped over. This didn’t affect the library, just the documentation.
• The website description of the B29 Superfortress claimed it was a B17 Flying Fortress. This didn’t affect the library, just the documentation.
• All documentation pages on the website now include tooltip hover help for lots of the information provided, giving more information about each item and links through to the official X-Plane® documentation where appropriate – just hover your mouse over the ? icons.
• All documentation pages on the website that contain dimensions now have both metric and imperial values (metres, feet and miles as appropriate).
