• Otago Patch: Chip off the old block

  By Lyndiman on August 26, 2017 • ( 6 )

  

  Here’s another patch which is actually new scenery, as this tile is missing from the original release. It’s a really small chip out of Otago,  just south of Oamaru and a must have for fliers out of NZOU. Here’s the beforehand… Read More ›

• Dunedin terrain patch

  By Lyndiman on August 24, 2017 • ( 3 )

  

  Another quick patch for the South Island Ortho Pack. This time it’s another weird blip in the terrain. I’ve created a quick patch which you can copy over the tile files with – leave the big texture folder where it… Read More ›

• Photo runway at Omarama Airfield

  By Lyndiman on August 23, 2017 • ( 6 )

  

  Using ortho-scenery offers an interesting opportunity to disregard X-Plane airport textures and instead use the ortho to show where dirt or grass runways are. I’ve done a quick test of this at Omarama and quite like the results.

  I received an email today that informed me that Fiordland has issues. This wasn’t helped by the fact that I seem to be having issues running the right version of python for FSEconomy and Ortho4XP. I spent more time trying… Read More ›

  By Lyndiman on August 22, 2017 • ( 7 )

  

  I’m releasing a couple of small updates to my ortho pack. Both of these affect the upper region of the South Island.

• Queenstown Airport

  There’s quite a nice Queenstown Airport on the Global Scenery Gateway. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work too well with my ortho package because the airport is set to flatten the surrounding area. 

• Cleaning up Lake Rotoiti

  By Lyndiman on August 20, 2017 • ( 3 )

  

  Trevor rightly pointed out that Lake Rotoiti is mostly white or full of digital noise instead of looking like a lake. This was caused by reflections off the water and light bouncing and artefacting in the lens. I ignored it… Read More ›

• Golden Bay Patch

  By Lyndiman on August 19, 2017 • ( 0 )

  

  Good news! Despite my best(ish) efforts, a small tile needs reworking in beta 3. I’ve quickly patched this little tile and uploaded the texture files. Simply copy over the texture files of -41+173 with these new files. 

• Heading to Westport

  By Lyndiman on August 19, 2017 • ( 8 )

  

  Working with my spare time in photoshop I’ve not really had time to do any flying in X-Plane recently. So, I opened up FSEconomy and took a job taking some passengers from Nelson to Westport.
