  By Lyndiman on July 18, 2017 • ( 2 )

  

  Work is progressing with the South Island. You can see above that the North Canterbury hills around Kaikoura are pretty large. This area is dry, so I’ve been doing some balancing work because it was so much brighter. In the… Read More ›

• Lyndiman’s Ortho – Beta 1 Patch

  By Lyndiman on July 16, 2017 • ( 2 )

  It’s a bit weird to release a patch to a beta release but it’ll help those that have the beta and need the fixes to the tiles that aren’t working. It’s much better to do that than require everyone to… Read More ›

• Away for a couple of days

  By Lyndiman on July 15, 2017 • ( 2 )

  I saw a couple of comments that the North Island ortho is giving errors because of unused terrain files that don’t have textures matching up. Those should have been removed when I reworked tiles with different sources. If someone could… Read More ›

• First Look at the South Island

    As a soft launch to those that visit this website, the ortho scenery for the North Island is now available as a beta release here! This page is not navigable from my main site yet as it’s a beta… Read More ›

• Ortho Scenery – almost there

  By Lyndiman on July 10, 2017 • ( 4 )

  

  A quick update. I believe I’ve assembled my set that will make up a beta test. The package will use batch files to convert the images (thank you for that suggestion!) This will be some work to get it going… Read More ›

• Some re-processing WIP

  By Lyndiman on July 10, 2017 • ( 3 )

  

  One of the first areas I did was the Waikato and going back to it now I see lots of mistakes that were made with different sets of images. This made an ugly mosaic that wouldn’t go down well with… Read More ›
