Looks great Lawrie. Looking forward to this one. Are they static aircraft or AI in your shots?

This is just a suggestion but downloading the texture sets can be fiddly and time consuming. There are a lot of textures there that are not used. I was wondering if it would be better going back to including the textures with your scenery but with instructions to place the textures in the static objects folder. This would mean fewer textures to load as well as avoiding the double up of files which has caused problems in the past.

Many thanks for the great work.

I did the best i could Andrew, with what little info and pics i had at hand.
This is more like what it would have looked like a year ago, there are a lot of new roads, and housing developments going in now, all around the airfield, including houses backing right on to the runway, like at Pauanui Beach......................
Fly in, park in your back yard, hop out, walk into your house.......................
I built it primarily to match up to the Red Baron NZ Topo scenery, but it will display fine in the old FS2002 Godzone Photoreals as well.

STEVE,.....
No, there are NO static aircraft in any of my sceneries. I hate statics !! All you see are AI aircraft.
Some from GNZLAP, and some from my own custom AI. The DC-3s you see in the pics are all painted in NZ colours (NAC, Mount Cook Airlines, etc ), and are part of a ficticious vintage tourist airline i have plying its trade all around NZ in DC-3s.
You DONT have to download the EZ texture libraries etc, each time you install one of my sceneries.
Once youve downloaded a particular texture set, and installed it in the static objects library, you dont need to download it again.
If you have all my sceneries that i have built so far installed, right up to, and including Whangarei and Whitianga, if you have downloaded and installed all the texture sets mentioned in each install instructions, you now have all the sets that i will ever use.
The lists are provided for those that may not have all the sceneries installed, and i dont think i will be going down the road of including textures with a scenery ever again,........ too many double up problems.
I will ONLY include textures with a scenery if they are photoreal or custom textures in the future.

Looks great Lawrie.

The other thing to remember with textures is that the object authors when they post them to sites for people to use generally state that they cannot be uploaded to any other site.

Scenery builders are only normally allowed to link to the object library where the author has posted them for others to download.

This is why Lawrie has to get us to download the object libraries. I have to do the same when I build the Multiplayer missions unless as Lawrie says custom textures have been used or the object author has given their permission.
