AutoOrtho will not install
jcjimmy replied to MrBitstFlyer's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
If you go into the .autoortho-data folder and select "downloads" you can see some of the action there. That's in the "users" folder. All of the zip files will go there. When done if they do not unzip in a few minutes just select ''run" and it will take a while for the process. In the Custom Scenery folder it will start to show. When all of the files are unzipped a check will follow and eliminate the zip files. j -
AutoOrtho will not install
jcjimmy replied to MrBitstFlyer's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Hi Mr BitstFlyer, It does take a while for the zip files to unzip. I found winfsp to be a useful addition. It would go at the bottom of your config file: [windows] prefer_winfsp = True I found at times that autoortho would not load because of a problem with the "na" files. Just starting X-Plane again brings up autoortho ok. I have had similar frustrations, but most of my flights with autoortho have shown a marked improvement in ground graphics. I hope this will be of some help. -
How to link Fenix Liveries to MSFS Addons Linker?
jcjimmy replied to captain420's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Hi Captain420, Okay, move or copy the folder over to the new location? If you move the original folder, then when you download new liveries using the Fenix Livery Manager, it won't find the folder to download the liveres to I'm assuming. All you have to do in the linker is click on the a320 liveries folder and a shortcut will appear in the community folder. Download the Fenix liveries desired. I tried a United livery and it worked fine. Note: I bought my B737's direct from PMDG and their updates work the same way. -
How to link Fenix Liveries to MSFS Addons Linker?
jcjimmy replied to captain420's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Hi captain420, What I did was download the Fenix liveries to the MSFS Community folder. I have MSFS data set up in folders on a different drive. So,I have a folder for the Fenix 320 and a folder for A320 liveries. Move the files from the Community folder to the new folders Check them off in the Addons Linker and it should load into the simulator ok. I hope that is helpful. -
3D Water and Bathymetry Test
jcjimmy replied to GoranM's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
I look forward to the development of Bathymetry and 3D water. The video was impressive. Flying over the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands and similar locations would be greatly enhanced and more realistic. Maybe a sailboat wouldn't be a bad idea either. Go X-Plane......................... -
Dark cockpit temporary solution
jcjimmy replied to Sims Smith's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Hi Sims Smith, Thanks for the enhancer link. So far, I am liking it as well - big improvement. -
Hi Ryan, Thanks for the great pix. Looks like a well done and fun update.

Hi Gustavo, Just a suggestion................. I had improved results when I added "winfsp" to autoortho. And, at the very end of the config text in the users folder add: [windows] prefer_winfsp = True I have had instances of autoortho failing to boot. I just restarted autoortho and then it booted up fine. Prior to that I figured I did something wrong I went through a whole new build. Buena suerte

FYI, Autoortho 7.2 is ready for your use.

My *only* 5 XP12 selected aircraft....
jcjimmy replied to jcomm's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
re:JRollon Marchetti SF260 Thanks for the tips on the sale - very good price. Note: On download the "liveries" folder was defective and unusable. However, when updating with the Skunkcraft program the liveries came through. Happy New Year to all. -
AutoOrtho 0.7.0 Released
jcjimmy replied to Malaromane's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Note: I had poor results on my rig with v0.7.0. Then tried one of the recommended mods to the config file and it improved the visuals. [windows] prefer_winfsp = True Prior to the change I was just getting plane vanilla tiles. . -
AutoOrtho 0.7.0 Released
jcjimmy replied to Malaromane's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Very slow download speed...................might be heavy demand on their servers? I am looking forward to getting v 0.7.0 operating. -
AutoOrtho 0.6.0-1 released
jcjimmy replied to jcjimmy's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
autoortho: I have tried several flights with autoortho 6.1 and the results were, generally, very good. I hope improvements will continue. On a flight from Wilkes Barre PA (KAVP) to Millville NJ (KMIV) at 3,500' the views were good until I got to the Allentown PA area and it was all tinted orange - quite ugly. There was also a peppering of black trees in improbable places (these were also visible in high altitude flights). There wasn't too much rubber stamping of fill ins. I received the dreaded z_ao_na message and restarted X-Plane 12 and then it worked ok. So, don't give up so fast like I did earlier and redo the whole shebang. With regard to the black trees, I'd rather see plain, unadulterated orthos. I'd like to see them eliminated and I do not have any scenery folders about trees. Note: I did a duplicate flight on MSFS and Allentown showed up in normal colors. I used Bing imagery in both cases. Anyway, autoortho has a very promising future in X-Plane. You might like to give it a go. -
Hi Bjoern, Thanks for your reply regarding joysticks for helicopters. I am using a Thrustmaster 1600 and the spring tension is too high for comfortable flight. None of my other joysticks have a means of reducing the spring tension either - except, perhaps, by disassembly. I hope some some manufacturer will make an adjustable spring tension for more realistic forces. Helicopters are tricky enough............

re: Helicopter controllers Any suggestions for a joystick and modifications to handle a helicopter reasonably well?
