NZFF

Yep, me and Richard have been doing a lot of discussing behind the scenes and will make an annoucement shortly ;)

Done. Andrew & Richard - congrats! If you need help don't hesitate to ask. As I pointed out earlier, I'm willing to share some of the responsibility especially in the beginning.

Variations on a theme.......................

Just as another aside for the payware etc, I would love to see that the freeware side of it has the basic airport - but that the project is setup so that it's easy to disable areas so that the payware versions can drop in, without any major reworking. That's often been a problem where scenery is specific for a specific scenery - if we can find a way to make it easy for the user to pick and choose. Again, I don't know the nuts and bolts, but yeah :)

No worries Timmo, give me a yell and I'll set it up for you. :) Alex

In no particular order: GIS based stuff: Bulk object placement (At this stage just a thought but perhaps using the Topo data GIS data, convert to XML and compile: This would place landmarks such as Marae, Lighthouses etc) Subject to licensing of course. : LandClass replacement (Ive started re hashing the LCDBII landclass data for FSX. This is vector based landclass as opposed to raster landclass....the files are a whole heap larger but much more accurate) Aiport design: Photoreal buildings, object placement, FSXplanner, Scenery Design: Custom Aerial textures, autogen, object placement, mesh...

what is this thing with FREE off course its Free ! ... NZAir .... stick as close to the countries airline

seems like it's pointless to continue this poll: 10-0 is a pretty one sided verdict! I'm going to lock the poll and announce this forum to also stay locked ;)

I'd love to do a Golden Ages for NZ one day, but to be honest at this stage I'd rather get this project going without too many standards. I fear if we impose too many standards it's just gong to kill the project off fast. Afterall this is freeware and supposed to be fun (don't get me wrong, as I discussed with Richard, I'm very anal about having each grass blade modelled correctly, but for now I'd rather see something growing together. We can always refine later.

I agree with Ian. I'm certainly not going to be available 24 hours, in fact I avoid instant messaging like the plague as its an absolute time killer and really unproductive. I think this forum should be the first call of contact. Individual can arrange other means of contact. Christian
