Please read the LICENSE.RTF for further information Scenery Credits: - Orthophotos courtesy of Land Information New Zealand, used under license. (http://www.linz.govt.nz/topography) Installation: - Copy this entire directory into your "X-Plane/Custom Scenery/" folder. That's it. - Leave the name as "_NZCH_Christchurch_Area_Photo_Scenery" so that it loads at the correct priority relative to our other NZCH packages Complimentary Packages: This scenery is designed to be used in concert with the following packages: NZCH Christchurch Airport Photo Scenery NZCH Christchurch OSM2XP Building Enhancement Requirements: 1. Requires a Video Card with 1GB of VRAM if you want to use at 'extreme resolution' 2. Requires a Video Card with 512 Mb RAM if you want to use at 'very high' 3. Texture Compression is optional as the files are already DDS compressed. Conflicts: Tested in XP10, but should work with no issues in XP9 as it's only photo polys, an airport definition (NZWG), and some forest exclusion zones. Let me know if you do find any conflicts. (Private Message Me! Don't leave them in the comments below) Known bugs / Stuff left to do: Still got some white edging showing up very small on some northwest tiles - Some type of graphic artifact with the DDS conversion, even though Ive clipped the edges away. I'll investigate further. There were some brightness differences in the original LINZ orthophotography. Easy to see from far away. - Will try to smooth out the transitions and/or change the brightness/contrast of certain parts of the imagery for better consistency. The Orthos are not cut to line up with roads/landmarks, so it's easy to see where X-Plane scenery ends and the ortho begins. - will cut along a roadway line or other natural landmark in a later release, so that the transition isn't so stark. X-Plane 10 completely missed the Waimakariri River in the underlying scenery (.DSF) generation. (The big wide river north of NZCH) - Although I alpha the river away to show the underlying water of the river, XP10 doesn't have any water there.

File Name: NZCH Christchurch OpenStreetMap OSM2XP Building Enhancement (XP9/XP10) ISDG File Submitter: chris k File Submitted: 23 Aug 2012 File Category: DSF Scenery Packages X-Plane Version(s): X-Plane 9 & 10 Description: March 2012 conversion of Christchurch OpenStreetMap Building data. Includes entire Christchurch New Zealand area and Banks Peninsula using OSM2XP 2.0.1 Complimentary Packages: This scenery is designed to work in Concert with the following NZCH Scenery: NZCH Christchurch Airport Photo Scenery NZCH Christchurch Area Photo Scenery Changes from OSM2XP Defaults: Removed duplicate buildings that conflict with our airport scenery. Buildings and facades changed form object density level 6 "Insane" to level 1 "Default" so they show up at base object density. This was done so that you did not need to go to "Insane" amounts of buildings in order to actually see buildings. Warnings: - This may melt your GPU, however it worked fine in XP10 on an Nivida 330M GPU w/512Mb RAM - including the NZCH Airport Photo Scenery package at the same time, and the NZCH Area Photo Scenery. - VRAM usage is approximately 900Mb at "Extreme Resolution" w/compression on - so this is suitable for modern 1Gb Video Cards for best resolution. - Since auto-gen object exclusions aren't working as of XP10 10.04 beta 6, you can keep the autogen objects to "1 - default" or "2 - tons" in XP10. Installation: Copy the _NZCH_Christchurch_OSM2XP_Building_Enhancement directory to your /X-Plane/Custom Scenery/ directory. Do not change the name of the directory in order to avoid conflicts with other New Zealand Scenery. Requirements: Requires the OpenSceneryX Library for forests and objects.
