Vector Land Class and Orbx NZSI together

[toprob]

Just some initial ideas for those who are wondering about compatibility -- not a definitive how-to, but a start anyway.

You can simply install NZSI and still use Vector Land Class in the North Island, with just a few issues. Before you run the NZSI installer, run the VLC Config tool and switch off 'VLC Texture Autogen Active' to be on the safe side. Leave everything else as is. After installing NZSI, you need to turn the VLC texture autogen back on.

Although Orbx have made a big thing of being able to fly between their Australia and the South Island without having to switch out areas, this doesn't seem to extend to the North Island! However it doesn't make sense to switch between the islands when flying the Strait, so I'd leave NZSI (Oceania) active. The major issue is the damaged autogen roof textures -- this has been a common issue with Orbx, and I think there is a fix for this. Anyone?

There is an autogen issue where Mike's great Oceania autogen textures no longer work in the South Island, so there will no doubt be a fix for this. Without this fix, the autogen houses are a bit drab for New Zealand.

VLC Airports need some work to get them working, but this will happen over the coming weeks. (subject to the holiday period, we all need a break.) Eddy has already offered a solution for VLC/Godzone Ashburton on the Orbx forum, and others just require a similar solution. I'll deal with Real New Zealand airports separately over at the Real NZ/Godzone subforum.

EDIT: It is a useful exercise to run FTX Central and use it to set an insertion point before all the NZ airports you have installed, especially for the ones with local landclass elements. Similar to the VLC placement after Addon Scenery.
