....and it has one of our own very talented forum members working on it as well.

Interesting stuff, Andrew. Good point about Global/Vector, I wonder whether that would make a difference to the NZ airports I've already checked. Now to Gisborne -- this is a bit of a miss, as there are elevation issues on the actual airport itself, including one end of the runway for some reason. I have checked my sim install for any conflicts, but can't find anything in P3Dv4. I'm aware that there's a VLC Gisborne, but I deactivated that initially. The rest is ok, although a much more obvious border mismatch around the edges. I will give the elevation issues some thought, but in the...

Hah, I asked a local what a good slogan would be for Invercargill, and they just said #theplacedreamsgotodie :huh:

Thanks for this Mike, just DL it and will try to take a look tonight but I'm a bit under the weather with a bad cold so may have to put it off. Anyway, good of you to share this. :cheers:

Is he still around?? I know he renamed the site, but... Dropbox works fine.

I've split this off from the Supercity topic, as it doesn't really relate. Looking good, Kelvin. I'm probably a bit behind the times, but I wasn't aware that any of the FSEarthtiles sources were distributable. I'd certainly recommend LINZ as a source, simply because most of it is licensed for distribution, and even sale. This isn't a bad idea. I do have 50cm.Auckland area but might look into the entire country. With the help of a colleague I have a powerful little program that does the raster conversion as well as automated resample output for multiple files so it's pretty much a couple of...

Will look into that, thanks.

Well, don't quote me, but my understanding is that Vulkan is a 'better', lower-level way to render 3D graphics, replacing the current OpenGL in Aerofly, and can also replace Direct3D 11. It makes better use of GPUs, and the lower-level aspect makes it less reliant on the OS. " Vulkan offers lower overhead, more direct control over the GPU, and lower CPU usage." -- from Wikipedia:) I do think it'll be a long time before we get a full-featured FS2, but I know what you mean -- I chose this particular clip because it includes 'flyby mode', which on MSFS-based sims is just a blurry mess...

Looking at aerofly the state of California in pretty good photo real and numerous airports is twice the size of New Zealand and works very well . My P.C handles it well and cockpits are highly detailed and nearly fully functional. I flew over N.Z and it is in pre European state.

have gone back to same airport (Nelson) and same plane but not there . Bit annoying but can put up with it .

Yep and maybe my opinion will change over time.... you flash people with your VR....
