Mate, that video is just awesome. Just watched it three times. Your work with Oz textures is superb. Has to be the most authentic I have seen ever. Especially the blue mountains.Will installing those textures change them only for Oz or will they replace them globally? Also are you going to do multiple seasons?Cheers and thanks for the video. Just brilliant.Chris Porter:-outtaPerthWestern Australia

I have a switcher program that will allow you to switch between VOZ textures and whatever you have now, with two mouse clicks. I also have 4 distinct regions you can choose from within Australia; North, Central, West and South.Once you're done flying in Oz, just switch back to your previous textures and you're away. Couldn't be easier.

OK we have our own domain up and running now, with the website up in the next day or two. I have the videos here now:VOZ Video #1http://vistaoz.org/videos/VOZTour.zipand there's a 10MB version for the dial-up folks:http://vistaoz.org/videos/VOZTour10MB.zip

I have had 2 attempts to download and run this -- the download and unzip works fine - but then , when I try to play the MPG with Windows Media Player , it says it wants to download a codec , but cant and the MPG wont play. All other MPGs I play OK.Barry

I have had this problem too and, according to my excessively IT literate son, the problem may be due to the fact that the codecs needed to play this stuff aren't free and that is why MS media player can't find them on the web. However most DVD drives come with software bundles that include these codecs. So if you have a DVD drive make sure that the software bundle that came with it is installed. Not sure that this is the issue but the vid wouldn't play on my old PC with a fresh install of MS Media Player 10 but without any DVD software installed However it plays fine on my new PC with all the software that came with a DVD drive installed.Great vid by the way - loved the shots around Uluru and the red centre.Bruceb

I have been able to view the smaller 10 Megabyte movie - it is in WMV format . But the larger one is in MPG format and my Windows Media Player needs a codec for it to play. Doesn't say which one though.Anyway these new Aussie textures look just great!Barry

Same problem here. The large file won't play with any of my video players. Any chance you could repost using one of the standard Microsoft codecs? I would really like to see your work in the higher quality mode.Thanks!--Bryn

OK let me re-do it in WMVHD format. Size will be the same, and I'll post the link here shortly.

OK here is the WMVHD version, plus a bonus: 3 more silent WMVHD videos taken from my development laptop this afternoon. Sorry about the flying, I was using my keyboard :)http://vistaoz.org/videos/VOZTour-1_WMV.ziphttp://vistaoz.org/videos/VOZ_Hinterland_C172.ziphttp://vistaoz.org/videos/VOZ_Hinterland_SF260.zipEnjoy!

very cool, its too bad ms locked the textures globally as it would be great to be able to stay in the game and have all those different type of textures. Looking forward to this anyway and I will love flying around a great country I one day hope to visit and lean more about!

Hi guys,Just download ( free ) Winamp from http://www.winamp.comIt plays the video excellent.Leen
