You're not alone.

I'm talking about actually adding a missing body of water - WED doesn't do that. I understand what you say, I do that already - you originally suggested it to me back in January sometime, thank you. However, it's just awkward when the sun sets and the ocean reflects brilliant yellow while the lagoon between the runways remains matt and blue-green. Cheers and thanks

Ok everyone... I got a weird questions. This airport, much like PHNL, has water between some of the features... and much like the default PHNL in X-Plane, that water is not there. Therefore, if anyone understands how to add water and modify terrain please let me know. I have read through the entire meshtool manual and the only thing that seems useful about it is the GeoTIFF function to add water @ alpha. However, as I would have to insert the alpha with Photoshop, the coordinates embedded in the *.tif file would be lost. Please... any suggestions? Even manually typing in the coordinates of the water would be fine... but I don't know where to do that.

Here's a preview of what September 1st will bring (Location is secret)

You'll like September 1st then. A LOT.

Est ce que Pierre est français? (c'expliquere pourquoi certaine personnes lui appelle "frenchy")

Second that.

Head on over to the "File Library" tab. It's one of the most recent files added, it'll be in the "What's New" box.

Folks, I really need someone who knows OSM to help me out... Please! Here's a sneak peak of the airport so far. What gritty texture would people recommend for pavement?

I don't like it either - the next update (Wednesday) will be fixing that and some line problems I discovered (what is the purpose of "Broken Wide Yellow?" It doesn't even work as a broken line)... Cheers.

Yeah - My problem is that I can't get it to do anything at all. It creates an empty folder... I can't specify any scenery in particular, I've tried tons of them.

Can someone please post a detailed instruction manual on conversions... I found some websites that have tons of airports never done for X-Plane.

Ok screw having a separate thread for each project... I'm lazier than lazy. I also don't want to disclose my current project, it's a bit of a secret... but I need help, help from the outside. I'm absolutely not satisfied with all the roads in the area I'm working off by up to a kilometre (And seeing as it's a small island, that can be problematic). If anyone is good with OSM conversions, please PM me or comment on this thread and let me know if you'd be willing to help. It's a big project (and entire country) but it's a small country, so if size puts you off, don't worry, it's smaller than most American cities. Thanks ahead of time if anyone wants to help. Yes, you'll get credit (and maybe a letter of thanks since it's been preventing me from properly developing this for a while). Cheers.

Alright folks, here it is:

Beta 1 will be done uploading around midnight tonight, will upload screenshots shortly.

Chris K - I figured out an even simpler way than copying and pasting numbers. I created a polygon snapped to the middle points, and split it.

It's the fact that it vanishes off of all three pages, maybe they all have the same rating. Thanks though.

This one is for Cameron, and unlike most of my posts, it's not a whiny complaint. I went into the File Library and saw this... which made me happy... ...but then, later I went back, and there was another column of information on the right hand side of the page, cutting the highlight sections down to only 2 items wide. Thinking, "oh, it must have been moved to the second page," I click to see the second page... and was baffled by its absence. I'm not saying PUT ME ON THE FIRST PAGE I'm just wondering how the system works Frankly, CYYZ is better than mine in the first place. Colin S

Just so I can prove I've actually got something done. I may be able to release this airport tomorrow morning after university registration if I work hard. If someone would like to create and airport flow for this, please let me know; I can't figure out how to make that stuff work.

That would be an awesome coincidence, since I've seen how these shots are taken. Thanks!

One of the reasons I love editing scenery is because you find the weirdest stuff sometimes........ Dear god, can this dude back off? I mean, I know you can stop close to another plane when you're in a small aircraft, but this is ridiculous. I'll clarify - usually, when I go flying with my friend, we're about one and a half plane lengths behind the guy ahead of us if it's a prop. Maybe this is allowed, but it's weird.

Oh... my... god... Ctrl+E is now my best friend! Thanks for the introduction... haha. I didn't realize that this was a thing. Crunch time! Expect great things........

New Problem: I can't develop with these Orthophotos until I can make them smaller. Wed 1.2 does NOT like having more than 3 15,000x12,000 orthos in action at one time. And, as you all know, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. I consider this to be my "play;" and right now all I'm doing is working.

Awesome! Tried it out, looks amazing. Yay proxies for .org.

Hey Guys... I'm starting something that won't be 5GB of download: Kamloops Airport and the City of Kamloops. I found out that the city where I'm moving to has free, open source orthophotography. Thus, I began the airport. It will be about the same scale as KBLI, but hopefully will eventually include orthos and overlay for the city (which currently sucks). It's a tiny little airport in a beautiful valley, so it won't take me 6 months - then be deleted - like PHNL. I have one conflict with the orthoimagery: In true Canadian style, the othophotos measure, of all sizes, 15,000 x 12,000... I don't want quality loss, since it's a small airport and the imagery is about three times the resolution of KBLI. If anyone has some tips on splitting up orthophotos, please let me know. The last time I did it was in December for PHNL - and I spent over 50 hours just cutting them up, then about another 24 for placing them individually. Any help will be appreciated, the sooner the better, I want this done before I'm done summer school. Seeing how fast I created KBLI, this one will be way better. Colin S.
