Its sort of like doing the airfeilds, but without the afcad biggrin.gif We will probably only do towns that have photoreal images on LINZ site, so that narrows it down to:

  • Riverton
  • Winton
  • lumsdon
  • Waikia
  • Alexandra
  • Clyde
  • Timaru (maybe)
  • Ian wants to do Ashburton
  • And theres a few more up north biggrin.gif

There is that the Kiwi 360 scenery but im not sure if it has the town in it or not, If its on linz it most likley will get done, hopefully smile.gif or if its the Council is easy to work with it might get done, The Alex council just gave me there images today so I might have to change all Ians hard work recolourizing, but the stuff they gave me has the airport and Clyde in it as well at about 60cm-1m resolution, for FREE!!

No, it's not. Just the Kiwi (which is good anyway... used to work there!)

Doing a bit of testing for Kade and Ian so felt it appropriate to add some more teasers . . .

[edit]- oops, just realised that I've got the Orbx trees/textures showing so mine will look a bit different compared with the others...

First with the spitfire looking back downstream - my brother's house appears in the autogen!


This time with the Cresco looking up river back towards Clyde


Finally the Piper Cub, one of my favourite aircraft.

Before release , the town off 'Clyde' and photoreal airport area to match the VLC current airport area .

Well it looking pretty sweet

And off course the famous Alexandra Clock on the hill ,'KC' WIP progress

Again , all these towns are limited due to the amount of information from the LINZ site .

What are you guys using to place the ground texures? I'm just completing Hawera Airport, which I started eons ago and I'm making it VLC aligned. Would look much better if I can get the town done like this as its letting it down a bit. I have no problems with the LINZ images and can even colourize, but not sure about placement and alignment.

I grab a Photo from Sbuilder then put the Linz/Council image on top of it then blend out the rest of the Google image.

Thats a pretty brief explanation. I'm trying to find a decent tutorial as I can't work out Sbuilder yet. Compared to other programs I have used its not very intuitive and not helped by the fact that half the tutorial links I have found are pointed to AVSIM files which are no longer there !!

I used the Ozx tutorial, but it uses Sbuilder. I think Robin or Mike would be the men to ask about Photo scenery placement.
