NZFF

Thank you Lawrie! It ain't bad, but I know it's no GMax creation with photoreal buildings and a detailed GA area. But it IS workable until something better comes out, like Savern's, or Robin's (when he does come out with it). or Robin's (when he does come out with it)................ Must ask Robin if he's made up his mind yet whether its going to be Hamilton and Gisborne, or Napier and Hastings for CD number 5 ???? Yours has filled the gap nicely Rob. :thumbup: NZHN has been largely ignored for tooo long. Lawrie. >nzflag<

detail answer up here or somewhere on what things you do to export them with g/mapper and what ground points are ? im trying to do the same in fsx and ive found it hard making any sence out of the tutorials out there ,id for one would be interested on what there is to learn there , mike :thumbup:

Problem with a lot of the statics is that they were hard-cosed in by Shayne Butler when the airports were originally made. Shayne made a non-static version, but some statics remained as they could not be removed without fully re-coding the scenery. I know, I've tried to remove a lot of the statics. But it's been a mess afterward. Robin! Please hurry and make an Auckland Airports pack (with a possible future upgrade to Whenuapai International Airport :lol: )! Your assistance is required! cheers guys

After Charl's comment,........... i dont think i will say anything at all...... :lol:

yeah well that happens anyway. If im sitting on the ground (or in the air) at wigram for example when I look over towards nzch (I have Heaths photoreal one) my fps drop in half, its such a pain when IM flying a straight in app too. taxiway textures or not. I think once I have more RAM and a better grf card itll stop happening...I hope. ill see how it gos for a week then switch back to compare B)

Is fs regen by George Ioannu?

thanks -got it now - thats what I had, just had a brain fade while reloading :)

Howdy, Been a while since I worked with EOD, but ... are all your paths configured correctly in the programme? Secondly, try saving the object with an underscore in the name eg.: NZMF_Term (afterall, it's an older design programme and might be balking at 8 characters in the name). Just a thought.

Yes Nunner,.... thats the version that was done to fit into Robin Corn's RealNZ Auckland City. Lawrie.

Isnt 375m the length that it has been shortened while construction work is happening on the southern end? Full operational length for NZWN is 1936m. The runway is only temporarily shortened to 1561m during nights where work is on. This is only done by sandbagging the flush lights and placing cans over the raised runway edge lights and the runway end lights. Temporary threshold and runway end lights are set up during these nights. Generally only one or two aircraft use the runway at its reduced length as the airport is closed to any flights bar the emergencys and the Vincent Cessna 402 that...

Kelburn. They are the SAME buildings. The Airports package for RealNZ Auckland is just the AIRPORTS ONLY from the Auckland 2005 Scenery package, modified to fit into Robin's RealNZ Auckland scenery. It has had the static aircraft etc at NZAA removed, along with all the other city buildings, roads and other scenery items that originally came in the Auckland 2005 Scenery. Its still a heavy hitter on fps depending upon how much AI traffic you are using, but its not as bad a hitter on fps as the older complete 2005 scenery was. Lawrie.

right thank you very much ,,that is just awesome ive been making things the way i know they where built in the real world posts ,3 sides and 1 down then making four long wires the same with textures on them mipmaps and format to dx1 but was getting a bad jar in helos when turning on to them but where good when in sight flying fix wing and landing was no problem ,i built some more and place them at other airport and it did it there too..so i work out what was making this happen thanks this explains alot mike

One final note.  For some reason the LOD 13 tiles generated by Scenery Builder sometimes seem to "separate" slightly then come back together as you fly over them, especially in a north/south direction.  This effect may be worse on some machines than others depending on your graphic card, drivers etc, but on the whole this method works really well with a much more realistic effect than the "ugly" straight edge you normally see in photoreal scenery. I originally meant to produce the Queenstown scenery using this method, as the colour imagery I started with...

Been using them ever since they first appeared free a while ago (as do a couple of others here on NZFF that i know). They are very good indeed. Parts of the texture set are still evident in the Summer time as well, particularly around hill country, and bushy areas. In the Spring time they transform the look of NZ to a much more lush green as it really is, particularly around cities and towns, and bush and hill country, and also the grass around any non-photoreal airports takes on a much more realistic look. From altitude, the textures take on a very nice 3D look, they really give depth to the...

My thanks to Trolly & Lawrie for ending my misery- for just once it wasn't me!!!!

Hi Ian Thanks for that, I will install the Nelson scenery as recomended. Cheers Trevor
