Maybe just post the links to the photos, or PM them to Tim or me.

I don't want to hijack this thread so I'll start a new post about my texture questions. However, the textures in the screenshot you just posted really do look the business. I appreciate that there is a great deal of work involved in creating good texture sets (look at how long it takes the GEX guys to produce new products) but it seems to me that a quality texture set plus VLC could bring you a lot of sales, particularly as it will be some time still before the OrbX South Island scenery will be available. Although I've bought a great deal of the OrbX stuff and really like it I'm beginning to fully appreciate the level of detail and accuracy in the VLC method in comparison. It seems somehow right to me that you guys should be the premier NZ FSX scenery suppliers having been doing this for a long time...

Here's another screenshot showing the photoreal/custom texture interaction. Just about everything in this shot is early days yet -- the NZCH image is yet to be tweaked for colour, the visible AFCAD is just to test aeroclub traffic, and the same single landclass texture change as the original shot. The darker textures are new, the lighter ones are default. The golf course is default, but this is another landclass which would be replaced in a customised set.

Looks like paydirt - close to the mother lode. Don't suppose there's any way to change those freshly painted MS runways?

If you mean specifically NZCH, then yes, it could include custom runway textures.

If you had to do each, indivually, an awsome task. Thought since all MS default runways appear identical, other than length, it might not be too difficult a task. My main problem with them is, regardless of location, they all look fresh-painted overnight.
