What's new?

What‘s new compared to „Mallorca 6.0“? The last version was the first one where pilots could rent a car and make a little sightseeing tour. Starting from the airport LEPA over the highway to Palma and his port, back to the airport or visiting the Palma Aquarium. Now we have a real net of custom roads. Not enough for a trip over the whole island, but you can visit different parts of it: A large area round Palma and a lot of kilometers through Palma. A highway to Inca, the second biggest town of Mallorca. A road to the tunnel of Sóller. (The road leeds only to the entrance of the tunnel. I would have built the tunnel - with daveduck‘s method - but the terrain on the other side of the tunnel is so bumpy that y it was impossible to build a road (to drive on it) down to Sóller.

I had to build very complicated highway bridges. You now can take the bridges with full speed. And you can reach Mallorca‘s second airport Son Bonet LESB by car or begin your tour there. From Son Bonet leeds a road directly to the Coliseo Balear - the bull fight arena. On the eastern part of Mallorca now we have a little airstrip for ultra lights: LEVB near Vilafranca de Bonany. Here beginns a second net of roads for this part of the island. You can visit a few villages and the city of Manacor with new authentic buildings; The Manacor hospital and the trotting racetrack. Use only the main street of Manacor
You can drive on nearly 200 km of roads (with traffic signs). All roads on the right place for VFR-flights too.
Not in reality exist a Heliport in the center of Palma. I made it to flatten Palma terrain with its boundary. You also can start your trip from there: LEXX
As in every update we have again a lot of new buildings all over the villages and more authentic churches etc.
I add to the package the fast CHEVY IMPALA by active. But attention! Cars are very nervous since Version 9.40!
If you will do a little trip through Palma Ports use the added sailboat „Sandpiper“.
* Rendering options: Roads: NONE
* I used CORINE forests. If you also will do this you must rename the folder - for example „XX_CORINE_Europe“ so that exclusion zones can work.
* Forest density up to „overgrown“.
* Number of Objects: default. The scenery only contains custom objects.
*For a nicer Mallorca use the „Recolored Terrain Textures“ by Xflyer. (See LINKS at the end of the page)
If you like racing with hot tires use the new „Puff Smoke“ - also by Xflyer.

* YOU DO NOT NEED „OpensceneryX“
THIS UPDATE WORKS ONLY WITH XP 9.40+

Final Remark
I know that X-Plan is a flight simulator - and a fantastic one. It is not my intend to alter it into a traffic simulation. But to enlarge the possibilities of X-plane to have more fun - is it a fault? And I spent thousands of hours (four or five years) to make buildings with facades of hundreds of photos. Driving by car we can see then more close and from the right perspective - from the street. They look fine.
For those X-Plane users who prefer Sceneries with X-Plane roads or OSM-roads I add a Scenery without my custom roads and highways: “Mallorca7.0_noroads”
Copy only the folder „Mallorca_7.0“ into your custom scenery folder. Use European forest by AlpilotX (CORINE). Type X before „CORINE_Europe“ ---> X_CORINE_Europe. So that forest exclusions work correct.

Fly or drive only with “Terrain follows terrain contour” OFF!

Thanks to all who made those excellent programs and plug-ins to make sceneries like this one. Special thank to my swiss friend Antonio (pargentino) who first had the idea to build custom roads within X-Plane sceneries. Download his fine Lugano Scenery here
