November 28, 201213 yr The wait is over, and after 3 months of work, the X-Plane 10 New Zealand Pro scenery is released! X-Plane 10 New Zealand Pro is a complete replacement scenery package for New Zealand (North and South island). It is a combination of two parts. An extremely high resolution base mesh (even a bit higher than the other HD Scenery Mesh regions) with updated (and more detailed) landclass data (riverbeds, mines and morains are entirely new - compared to default Global Scenery), very detailed road / railroad/ powerline vector, and highly accurate water data (you should find most of the relevant rivers / streams, tiny lakes, and more detailed coastlines). An additional overlay scenery, which adds treelines (this time they are "real", derived from GIS data) and tons of objects (mostly houses, but there are also barns, churches, substations, schools, hospitals, shelters - outside the area, which are filled in by XP10 autogen). This scenery is for X-Plane 10 only, and ideally, you should have X-Plane 10.20 Beta 5 or above (as it brings some art assets - textures - in its default set, which NZ Pro uses). But don't worry, if you have an earlier version of XP10, there is a "workaround" for you on the download page. Best of all - as always - this scenery is donationware! Which means, you can freely download and use it, and if you like, you might donate for it (and even then, you decide what its worth for you). The link below will bring you to the - obligatory - screenshots (lots of before-after shots included): https://picasaweb.go...alandProRELEASE And here you go to my website, where the download links and detailed instructions can be found: http://www.alpilotx....ew-zealand-pro/ Andras Fabian / Alpilotx Visit www.alpilotx.net, a site about X-plane scenery You can see some landscape and other photographs from me here: http://www.flickr.co...s/weathermaker/
November 28, 201213 yr Congratulations! It would be interesting if someone who has both NZPro for X-Plane and Orbx NZ for FSX would make a bunch of comparison shots, of course keeping well in mind that Orbx NZ is payware and that ORBX has devoted vastly more time and resources to make it. But it would be interesting neverthless! "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".
November 28, 201213 yr Thanks so much for your hard work Andras! Looking forward to downloading it as soon as I get home tonight. Rob

Andras, what is fantastic is the fact that one man can come very close to what ORBX and an army of elves can accomplish. I know Santa doesn't exist, but you're close! The other guys don't stand a chance!
November 29, 201213 yr Now let's wait for the rest of the world to be released like this Alexis Mefano
November 29, 201213 yr Author Now let's wait for the rest of the world to be released like this And Alec didn't read that one little sentence on my site (or did he ) - the last one in this section: This all was possible by using a new data source (and no, this time its NOT OSM!!) from the New Zealand Government, namely LINZ (Land Information New Zealand – http://www.linz.govt.nz). So a big thank you goes to them, for making such great and detailed data freely accessible (which is still not commonplace in the GIS world – and answers the question, if I will make all of the planet in this quality –> NO).

November 29, 201213 yr I can only Dream. Here we have SRTM Data and that's it!! Nothing else, I'm lucky there's some OSM data made. Alexis Mefano
November 29, 201213 yr Author Yes, in OSM there is a lot of potential, which will bring us much more similar, detailed scenery in the coming years. Its a dynamic process, which doesn't happens at once, but is evolving (and equally are scenery creation processes evolving and adapting the new possibilities).

November 29, 201213 yr Beautiful scenery and best I have no idea if the landclass is correct :lol: Donation on the way... Geofa WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-the best Flight Sim!
November 29, 201213 yr Great stuff from Andras. Here are a few examples of the beauty to behold... Donation on it's way soon! :clapping:
