NZ Sub-Antarctic Islands
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2018 9:25 pmHi all
Was practicing using SBuilderX not long ago and as a reasonably quick project whipped up photoscenery for the five sub-Antarctic Islands under NZ claim (Snares, Auckland, Campbell, Antipodes and Bounty). Started trying to populate huts and other features as well, but got most of the way through before realising I needed to reinstall my FSX:A SDK pack, which is currently in a box somewhere in storage while we wait to move house.
So, for anyone who wants "bare" sub-Antarctic Islands, here they are:

I have not really done much to correct the imagery in terms of colour-matching or removing clouds, and there's bound to be some seams or other glitches especially around the coasts, thanks mainly to inaccurate mesh, but I think generally they're better than the default. Also the imagery isn't particularly high-resolution on account of what is "freely" available for satellite imagery. I've also included MacQuarie Island and Heard/McDonald Islands (Aussie), both also bare.
An example of the default Antipodes Islands vs photoreal:
