The shadows are slightly different too, meaning that there could easily be 2 images stitched, where they could have been taken either at: 1 - different angles, or 2 - at different times, or 3 - all of the above - CK.

Import as is Line up the corners of the giant image Make Polygon Convert to PNG, and Re-project the imagery to 16000x16000 Select one side by the vertexes- hit Ctrl-E to Split the side preclisely in two Repeat for all 4 sides You now have a grid of 4 x 8000x8000 squares Slice ortho into quarters Import all 4 new PNGs, the corners are all now presented for you. Snap-to-Grid, the new 4 orthos will snap precisely to the correct location. Repeat again in each quadrant (Ctrl-E slip trick, cut each quad into 4 again) You will end up with 16 orthos at 4096 x 4096 Convert to DDS DXT1 Remove PNGs ?????? PROFIT! (Fly in X-Plane)

Glad to hear you're making headway with the new Voice code library, Keith. I remember you identified this as a stumbling block to 64-bitness. Keep up the good work.! - CK.

Andras, That looks TREMENDOUSLY GOOD. My hats off to you and the AutoGen Team....! - CK.

Shoot me your username on the .org - I can have a look as to what's gone wrong with your account.

Ben did a rather humourous writeup here: http://developer.x-plane.com/2012/09/things-64-bit-will-not-do/ - CK.

Import the DSF.

> I had some replacement mesh before, maybe from simheaven, Simheaven completely replaces anything in an area. It is a "bulldozer" style replacement terrain DSF - and will cause you problems if its installed in weird orders. it will supress all other scenery in an area. It also uses terrible quality orthos, so you're not losing much by not using it! Try moving things out of your custom scenery directory first (i.e. make mainly empty), and only add the 3 Toronto files first ( to ensure they work fine) and OpensceneryX. That should be all you need to make this work. (my CYYZ may complain about some missing container files, but that's a known bug at this point). Let me know how that works... i.e. "back to basics". Nothing in /Custom Scenery/ but CYYZ, CYTZ, zToronto, and OpensceneryX. Sorry you're having so much trouble using X-Plane's Custom Scenery. it was actually designed to be reasy to use for the end-user. Unfortunately, looks like we have 3 or 4 competing sceneries all vying for that tile space here! - CK.

Nope. doesnt work. Yes, placing a taxiway over the approach lighting makes the lighting be recessed. Please note that the lighting is still there -XP just uses the 'inset' model instead of the 'standing straight up' model. The lights are not suppressed per se. There is no "inset" version of the ILS model. There is another trick you can do, which is to replace the lib/airport/NAVAIDS/ILS.obj with a blank "object" (using a library statement on an explicit path) for that tile from within the /Custom Scenery/ project folder. It's a trick, but should work (and suppresses *every* ILS marker for that 1x1 degree tile) Again, The real solution is to simply move the ILS antenna to it's correct location using [Edit], and submitting the new location to Robin.

Change the order of the runways in WED. Put the Asphalt one first in the list - in the list on the top right WED screen (click and drag it to change the order) - Ck.

This is not a standard DSF object. No. This is a NAVAID - and is part of Robin Peel's master database. You cannot edit this in WED, since it's neither an Airport taxiway/runway, nor is it an overlay/terrain object. (these are the only things WED can affect) NAVAIDs are drawn by X-Plane all by itself internally.... - with no way to influence their location or visibility through WED or OE or any other method. Submit an update to Robin if it's in the wrong place. - CK

Hrm - accoridng to your log, it's only complaining about: Failed to find resource 'garybkk/containers/quad.obj' at 'Custom Scenery/CYYZ Toronto Pearson Airport (ISDG Group)/garybkk/containers/quad.obj'Failed to find resource 'garybkk/containers/quad.obj' at 'Custom Scenery/CYYZ Toronto Pearson Airport (ISDG Group)/custom objects/garybkk/containers/quad.obj'0:00:04.961 E/SCN: Unable to locate object: garybkk/containers/quad.objFailed to find resource 'garybkk/containers/single.obj' at 'Custom Scenery/CYYZ Toronto Pearson Airport (ISDG Group)/garybkk/containers/single.obj'Failed to find resource 'garybkk/containers/single.obj' at 'Custom Scenery/CYYZ Toronto Pearson Airport (ISDG Group)/custom objects/garybkk/containers/single.obj'0:00:04.961 E/SCN: Custom Scenery/CYYZ Toronto Pearson Airport (ISDG Group)/Earth nav data/+40-080/+43-080.dsf:0:00:04.961 E/SCN: Unable to locate object: garybkk/containers/single.obji.e. Only the single/quad shipping containers which I mentioned earlier - (which yes, I need to fix in a better way). I dont see any reference at all to: lib/airport/Common_Elements/Fuel_Storage/Sing_Tank_Small.obj lib/g10/streetlights/AreaFloodShort.obj lib/g10/US/commercial/90x30x8v0.fac lib/g10/US/industrial/light/Fact60x60_v1.obj lib/g10/US/industrial/light/GateHut3x3.obj lib/g10/US/industrial/light/SiteOffice6x12.obj lib/g10/US/industrial/light/SiteOffice8x14.obj ....In the Log file. meaning that XP10 can find those with no problems. you mentioned you used Overlay editor? (to see those errors?) I don't know why Jonathan's program cannot find these objects... they're standard XP10 lib. Sounds like OE is missing those lib/g10 items (nothing to do with the scenery). The only ones XP10 is complaining about are the garybkk/containers which, yeah, I need to move into the ISDG Library. Thanks for the report! I'll fix that before final release. (those are multiple-instantiated library objects, which I need to find a better way to insnantiate). BTW, if you have my YSSY package, those errors will go away temporarily. (I dont wish to make any dependencies here, and I'll re-do the library work "properly" so I dont make any weird hooks to other scenery - but for sakes of fixing the object derivation - you can do that for now as a temporary 'fix'). - Ck.

garybkk/containers/dual.obj garybkk/containers/quad.obj garybkk/containers/single.obj Ok, the above are indeed my mistake - I havea dependent library call which I will fix. (this is why we Beta test!) lib/airport/Common_Elements/Fuel_Storage/Sing_Tank_Small.obj lib/g10/streetlights/AreaFloodShort.obj lib/g10/US/commercial/90x30x8v0.fac lib/g10/US/industrial/light/Fact60x60_v1.obj lib/g10/US/industrial/light/GateHut3x3.obj lib/g10/US/industrial/light/SiteOffice6x12.obj lib/g10/US/industrial/light/SiteOffice8x14.obj these are *all* standard X-Plane 10 items... which showed up in 10.20 b6 or so.. ensure you're up to date to 10.21 (re-run the installer). Likewise, send me your Log.txt file (attach it here)... as this shouldn't be happening here... (tricky fix)

Cool. thanks.! Thats either rivere's or patchett's Q400 I think. (CDN/Ed knows). Sure! Just zip it and upload it, and attach it to a private Message to me. I'll see that Ed gets it included for the next build! > For some reason when I convert this bmp to dds using DXT1 bitmap manipulator and try to use that, the plane is all white! Use XGrinder here for best results: http://developer.x-plane.com/tools/xptools/ Theres a nice GUI for DDSTool in there - just drag and drop the BMP/PNG and out pops a DDS

Yep - this is one of those areas where we have multiple packages (at least 3, Jacques', YTZ, YYZ) which combine using the "DSF Overlay" in X-Plane to blend into one seamless view. Theres a CYZD Downsview and CYKZ Buttonville also in the area. (as well as Bulington Airpark, Brampton Flying Club, etc.). Lots of well made GA fields in the area to fly to and from. For the Jets, Freddy made a good CYHM Hamilton too w/orthos. - Ck. Note: The scenery has been updated (both CYTZ and CYYZ) since Xplaneuser made this video! Looking forward to the next installment!! Great Videos BTW - Love the Groovy Jazz tracks you use.. very funk-kay.! Really liked the YPAD soundtrack you used too

And here they are: lib/g8/terrain/rainforest_steep.for lib/g8/terrain/rainforest_hill.for lib/g8/terrain/rainforest_flat_low.for lib/g8/terrain/rainforest_flat_mid.for lib/g8/terrain/rainforest_flat_top.for Any of these 5 versions above all point to the same "forest" file you were referencing. - CK. (for those keen spelunking, this is in the library.txt file) Resources/default scenery/900 forests/library.txt: ... ... ... EXPORT lib/g8/terrain/rainforest_steep.for rainforest.for EXPORT lib/g8/terrain/rainforest_hill.for rainforest.for EXPORT lib/g8/terrain/rainforest_flat_low.for rainforest.for EXPORT lib/g8/terrain/rainforest_flat_mid.for rainforest.for EXPORT lib/g8/terrain/rainforest_flat_top.for rainforest.for ... ... ...

You reference it via the library system. I betcha there is a valid XP-Library entry for that exact forest definition file somehere in "lib/g8/" as Andy pointed out. I'll have a look when I get home in Xplane's "default library.txt" definition files (thres a few different library.txt files it could be hiding in - somewhere in /Resources/900)

He's adding the forest using absolute pathing - which you cannot do in xplane. All resources must be relative to the custom scrnery folder or from the built in library. You cannot ask for a resource from "C:\somedir\somefolder\someforest.for" which is what is happening in the above example. even if it did work, it wouldn't work on anyone else's computer. (I don't have a "C:" drive on my Xplane computer).
