NZFF

Apparently they do cunning things like make deliberate 'mistakes'... I was reading an article a while back where some guy was talking about a street he found on google maps that didn't exist... he knew this, because it went right through his house or something. The idea being that they put fake streets in, so if someone copies their data, they can say "well obviously they copied our data, as it has this deliberate mistake in it" Just something to be aware of.

You could always place these ones for now LINK but they are old and one day id like to finish a new one ,ive got others to finish before i even think about this one so really some time away dude ...

Maybe whatever you use has a similar format? You're project sounds intriguing by the way. Care to post any preview screenies? Sure, I'll post links for those who are on slower connections as these images are straight off the screen dump. This image shows a map of the bulk of the work thus far - an improved edge of Lake Taupo plus the addition of such lakes as...

QUOTE (Trolly @ Dec 27 2008, 01:39 PM) is that the payware Hawk from Skysim? Andrew , time for an upgrade to FSX /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif /> , it is the Skysim model , this BAe Hawk is all they rave about and one brilliant little jet to check out new scenery and the older photoreal done by Timmo , thats a thought , a quick trip across to White Island and few more BOP scenery,s in your fav .

thanks al of you this has helped hope you all haded a great christmas airnzrnzaf /New_Zealand_etc.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= >nzflag< border= 0 alt= New_Zealand_etc.gif /> /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif /> /santa_cool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :xmas: border= 0 alt= santa_cool.gif /> i have know installed tons of scenery

pretty much what Rob said- Hindsight is a wonderful thing....so with the benefit of hindsight, I would have used Gmax from the start to finish even though Sketchup is soooo easy to use, you still need a lot of knowledge of Gmax AND sketchup to generate content suitable for FSX. If there are specific questions about FSX scenery that you are wanting to tackle, don't hesitate to ask /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

QUOTE (Stan @ Dec 21 2008, 10:30 PM) That why I looking for New Caledonia scenery and I find Lawrie Roache's beautiful work ! Thanks a lot for that. I see you will making a lot of other New Caledonian airport, my question is to know if you will make NWWL (Lifou) soon. My other question is to know why I have tree on Ouloup apron (I have put the AFCAD file on scenery/world folder) ? Congrat for your job ! Merry Christmas !! Stan Hi Stan. The tree at Ouloup is an Autogen tree that does not appear in my sim, but has in a few other peoples sims as well. I made a custom...

What imagery are you using? If it is from anywhere decent (i.e. proper orthophotography) id leave it as is.....the colour/textures will change somewhere down the track and then yours will be left looking out of place /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

QUOTE (Adamski @ Dec 18 2008, 05:26 PM) Thanks, Rob .. for confirming what I was only guessing at! Good to know we have some PROs on NZFF /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif /> I think I'll hold out for the ORBX thang .... Could be a while.....

Just found this from another forum..in case others wish to know: /fs9.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :fs9: border= 0 alt= fs9.gif /> Single-Engine Prop -- runway length => 2500' Twin-Engine Prop ---- runway length => 4000' TurboProp ------------ (same as Twin-Engine Prop) Jet empty weight =< 99,955 lbs -- runway length => 5000' Jet empty weight => 99,956 lbs -- runway length => 7000' Cheers, Goff

Sounds like a massive project to make happen. If this project does go ahead, count me in.

QUOTE (cowpatz @ Dec 10 2008, 09:42 AM) Thanks for that guys. It looks like you have ALL of NZ covered there Lawrie. You must be able to cook dinner whilst waiting for FS9 to load up! Nope,........ FS still loads in under 60 seconds............. Number of aircraft installed, affects the time it takes FS to start up,.......... not the number of addon sceneries........... Lawrie. /New_Zealand_etc.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= >nzflag< border= 0 alt= New_Zealand_etc.gif />

QUOTE (nzcoaster @ Mar 10 2007, 03:22 PM) Thanks guys I really appreciate your reply s and methods and as soon as I get some spare time I'll be launching back into the project and trying your methods. I'm a bit snowed under the moment with problem solving stuff and a huge database reconstruction for a company thats a bit more than I should have taken on. I'll be in touch as I can Many thanks Greg /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> hi there any update on this project or have i missed something

QUOTE (Snowman @ Dec 7 2008, 03:20 PM) You realise you dont have to download and install all object libraries listed in the docs, with each and every scenery you install.............. You only need to get the ones you dont already have................ Err.. yes, I realise that /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif /> It's the " getting the ones you dont have " part that can be tricky to remember. Maybe a lightweight installer script to check to see you've got the required ones and hilight those you dont have?...

QUOTE (Alfashark @ Dec 7 2008, 11:22 AM) I'll see if i can nip down the road and get some pics for you Lawrie /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> If I cant make it down today, it might have to wait for next weekend. Yes please Steve !! I quite forgot that you were just a up the road aways from Tok !! Anything of the buildings would be good, also runway, parking , etc Kart track etc would be handy as well. If you can manage it, a sketch maybe of the layout of the airfeild buildings etc. Google cant help there, so i wont...

The roads with moving lights can be done quite neatly. There is a scenery for Cairns that does this - I'm assuming - using FSSC. During the day there are regular road textures and at night there are lights travelling along the left (correct) side of the road which impressed me. The lights do only move at motorway speeds though.

Thanks for that. I tried using that Roads and Rivers patch, and it turned the water around the coast to sand! I'll post a screenshot when I get home tonight.

I've done a couple for Wellington - but only to remove static aircraft. We may be using different NZWN scenery. I haven't done Nelson yet.

QUOTE (Charl @ Dec 1 2008, 07:59 PM) It's probably the closest thing I"ve seen to a sloping runway in Flight Sinmualtor - Christian's topo strip maps beyond the runway Glad its working- that north slope is really a taxiway, but the grass taxiway texture is not the best feature of AFCAD. I used runway grass texture for the lower end and just left the slope alone- flattening everything looked horrible…it would work miles better with a photoreal texture like Aratula and those other great Mark Lee sloping strips but thats higher up my learning slope, er, curve... Would...
