fsx greymouth scenery

[mathunt2011]

hi
is anyone interested in doing a greymouth scenery file for fsx

[Ian Warren]

I am very sure that is one town in the works , photoreal and fully autogenned

I don't think there's any photoscenery yet but a basic version of the airport is in VLC's South Island Airfields addon and a more detailed version by Nick Hobart can be found on flightsim.com.

I'm using the latter until something better comes along (winks at Ian and Timmo)

Hope that helps,


Ade

This may be a nice little project for Doug , he's itching at producing a project of his own . (wink at Doug from Mat , Ade Timmo and Ian)

I have looked at it but it cost a few $$$$ to get the high def photos so unless it is done as a payware and there are enough interested buyers then it is not worth paying the $$$ to do

With your new found skills there Doug you been able to cut out and colourize an old B & W , autogen it , you be racing

If someone can figure out a solution for the background, I could help with the models -- I photographed most of NZGM last year, it's quite a simple airport really, except for its proximity to the city.

What about rebuilding the B & W , the area is not that large , scow the land from photoreal already free and build on that studying google to correct information . small town may be an interesting project .

A good idea for the city, but the airport really needs at least 30cm, preferably 15cm textures, if you want to go the photo-texture way. Although I only do airports based on an aerial image, there are other ways, I guess, and I'm looking at that at the moment for Timaru. The only real problem is that using standard FSX landclass textures rules out compatibility with Orbx.
