  • A quick look at Flat Point

    By on • ( 3 )

    Here’s another fix locked in: I don’t think Flat Point is in X-Plane natively, but there is a mod for it here. If there are any urgent issues that need fixing in the ortho – let me know, and I’ll… Read More ›

  • Thames is a bit too mainstream for me

    By on • ( 0 )

    I’ve been looking at the airports around the Coromandel again, particularly since I land at Whitianga and Thames a lot with Flight Simulator Economy. One thing that has always annoyed me is the hard cut that occurs when rivers hit… Read More ›

  • Chatham Islands!

    By on • ( 5 )

    An X-Plane community member, Chris messaged me the other day to highlight their scenery for the Chatham Islands. The scenery can be found here. The scenery itself doesn’t come with any ortho, so users have been adding their own. To… Read More ›

  • Gisborne again

    By on • ( 1 )

    Not a huge amount of work for this update. Gisborne has been updated to 2017 imagery which fixes a lot of discolouration. I’ve also added a mask to the harbour, around the outer side at least. I can’t get too… Read More ›

    I slowly lost my mind yesterday and probably spent a couple of hours last night trying to recreate the masks for the whole of New Zealand that included more coastline. As you can see above, the mask looks horribly broken… Read More ›

    I’ve gone through a few areas and unmasked the water ways to make them a bit more immersive. It’s funny, because doing this doesn’t really add any size to the scenery, as the imagery is already there, X-Plane is just… Read More ›

  • Water way to go…

  • Various changes!

    By on • ( 0 )

    Over the past couple of days I’ve spent my free time fixing up a few things. Mainly around Queenstown and the central North Island. One area of interest was a dis-colouration of Tongariro and Ruapehu. Fixing the colours is a… Read More ›

  • Progress Update: Milford Sounds

    By on • ( 1 )

    The warped imagery around milford sound has been replaced. This is what it used to look like: Now I’ve replaced the ArcGIS imagery with some LINZ:

  • Meltford Sounds

    Next I’ll be working on the Milford Sounds, an area I’ve never been happy with. There seems to be quick a few issues with this area which I couldn’t get my head around a few years ago. Lazy me. Here’s… Read More ›
