Real NZ Nelson with Orbx NZSI...

The official REAL NZ support forum

NOTE: There is now an official Real NZ Nelson/FTX compatibility patch available, so please don't attempt to follow these instructions to 'patch' this yourself. This post is left so that anyone who used this temporary fix can reverse it before installing the official patch. To do this, just rename all the files you changed (.bak and .off), to their original '.bgl' extension.

I've yet to work out how these minor fixes will be handled, it may be possible to release some sort of automatic fix, but in the meantime, here's a quick fix for Nelson:

Open ORBX\FTX_NZ\FTX_NZSI_05_SCENERY\scenery in Windows Explorer. Find all the Nelson-specific files by typing NZNS into the search box. This should list 6 files for Nelson. Simply change the file extension to .off to deactivate them.

Once you've done this, do the same with the search word 'nelson', which should give one file. Turn it off.

(There are Nelson textures, but don't worry about those.)

Now browse to FSX\Scenery\World\Scenery

Find the one Nelson file -- ADE_FTX_NZSI_NZNS_elevation_adjustment.bgl

Now this file can't be given the .off extension, as switching Orbx regions will turn it back on. So we need to give it an extension which effectively 'hides' it from the switcher -- I use .bak

If you use Vector Land Class, don't forget to turn the Vector Land Class autogen textures back on after installer NZSI.

There are a couple of minor issues remaining, which will be dealt with later:
  • There are duplicate lighthouses, which requires an exclude to fix, and therefore can't be fixed by renaming files.
  • The Orbx ships tend to ground on the boulder bank, which shouldn't happen outside Tauranga...
  • There are some strange autogen roofs resulting from the NZSI install.

FTX_NZSI_objects_NelsonHarbour_PLC.bgl is the one that should be turned off for RealNZ Nelson.

Also, there's a duplicate Mitre10 Mega.

I have been working on Robs Real Marlborough and found the following fixes work OK

Open ORBX\FTX_NZ\FTX_NZSI_05_SCENERY\scenery in Windows Explorer. Find all the Omaka - Woodbourne and Picton specific files by typing NZOM - NZWB and NZPN for each one into the search box.

Omaka turn the following from .bgl to .off
ADE_FTX_NZSI_NZOM_objects.off
ADE_FTX_NZSI_NZOM_CVX.off

Woodbourne turn the following from .bgl to .off
ADE_FTX_NZSI_NZWB_CVX.off
ADE_FTX_NZSI_NZWB_objects.off

Picton turn the following from .bgl to .off
ADE_FTX_NZSI_NZPN_CVX.off
ADE_FTX_NZSI_NZPN.off
ADE_FTX_NZSI_NZPN_objects.off
FBP_FTX_NZSI_NZPN.off

Then go to the World Scenery and change the following from .BGL to .BAK
ADE_FTX_NZSI_NZOM_elevation_adjustment.BAK
ADE_FTX_NZSI_NZPN_elevation_adjustment.BAK
ADE_FTX_NZSI_NZWB_elevation_adjustment.BAK

These seem to fix the three airports I haven't had a good look at any of the other Marlborough areas but what I have seen seems to be OK
