🔴 FIRST LOOK: X-Codr Airport Enhancement Package v2 (AEP v2) | KIAD to KLUK | X-Plane 12

Tonight’s stream is all about scenery — specifically, X-Codr’s Airport Enhancement Package v2 (AEP v2), which aims to be one of the most impactful add-ons in X-Plane because it upgrades every airport, not just one. We’re flying from Washington Dulles (KIAD) to Cincinnati Lunken (KLUK) in X-Plane 12 to see how airports look and feel with AEP v2 installed—from ground textures and markings to clutter, vehicles, and signage. We’ll be keeping an eye out for the details: grunge, rubber skids, oil stains, ramp clutter, improved models, and taxi signage, plus any seasonal effects we can catch. If you’re curious whether AEP v2 makes the default world feel “premium,” this flight is a perfect test. Flight Description Departure Airport: KIAD – Washington Dulles International Airport Arrival Airport: KLUK – Cincinnati Municipal Airport (Lunken Field) This flight is a hands-on AEP v2 showcase in X-Plane 12. The focus is comparing the “feel” of airports with the package enabled—especially the areas you notice most while taxiing: surface detail, markings, clutter density, service vehicle variety, and signage realism. AEP v2 uses procedural overlays generated from default scenery to add authentic wear and tear (rust, skids, dirt, oil), plus context-aware clutter like cones, GSE, hydrants, and more—without stomping on existing scenery. It also upgrades key assets with improved models, adds custom taxi signs via the AEP Live plugin, and includes seasonal immersion features like a revolutionary snow system and animated falling leaves. We’ll be paying attention to how it holds up at a major hub (KIAD) versus a smaller, character-rich airport (KLUK).
