  • Gisborne again

    By on • ( 1 )

    Not a huge amount of work for this update. Gisborne has been updated to 2017 imagery which fixes a lot of discolouration. I’ve also added a mask to the harbour, around the outer side at least. I can’t get too… Read More ›

  • Water you lookin’ at?

    By on • ( 2 )

    I slowly lost my mind yesterday and probably spent a couple of hours last night trying to recreate the masks for the whole of New Zealand that included more coastline. As you can see above, the mask looks horribly broken… Read More ›

  • It’s not a mask, it’s a coughy filter

    I’ve gone through a few areas and unmasked the water ways to make them a bit more immersive. It’s funny, because doing this doesn’t really add any size to the scenery, as the imagery is already there, X-Plane is just… Read More ›

    Another area of focus has been to improve some of the harbours that have airports. Currently in X-Plane these are often masked out and become deep blue sea straight off the shoreline. The new scenery will improve this in areas…. Read More ›

    Next I’ll be working on the Milford Sounds, an area I’ve never been happy with. There seems to be quick a few issues with this area which I couldn’t get my head around a few years ago. Lazy me. Here’s… Read More ›

  • It’s a blog, it’s a plane…

    By on • ( 1 )

    After not using X-Plane for quite a long time, recent improvements in FPS via Vulkan API implementation, and a literal plague, have dragged me back into it. So I thought I’d chip away at a few updates to my Ortho-photography… Read More ›

  • Release: Texture Decal Patch

    By on • ( 3 )

    You can download a small patch for each section of my ortho scenery here. This package contains TER files which now include bumpy textures that look like dirt, grass, and gravel at low altitude. This will help with low-level flight… Read More ›

  • It’s been a while – Ortho Update

    By on • ( 5 )

    Hello there! It’s been over a year since I did anything with the NZ Ortho set. In fact, I’ve hardly touched X-Plane. That should change as I get a fancy VR Headset at some point. I’ve not been editing the… Read More ›
