Schollema Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hi will True Erath UK scenery become available for MAC/IOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hello, it already is available. You will see this on the Orbx Direct product pages. Quote As we do not currently have a version of FTX Central available for Linux or MacOS, you will see a CROSS-PLATFORM DOWNLOAD option in your account. This is a simple zip that you can extract into X-Plane 11 in the meantime until FTX Central is available for those other platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schollema Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Thank you. I could not see this, and realise I can AFTER buying the product. Now its okay and I am downloading. I presume this option is available for all 3 versions of the True Earth UK scenery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yes, for all three versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schollema Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Thank you. One final question, and sorry to bother you. Do you know what products are available for MAC (if any) following this procedure? I cannot tell beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 All the Orbx X Plane 11 products are available, using the same method. You will see the cross platform download message on every Orbx Direct X Plane 11 product page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schollema Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Hi. The story continues. As per the forum, I need to "download Convert.cmd, placing it into X-Plane 11\Custom Scenery\Orbx_C_GB_South_TrueEarth_Orthos\textures (for TE GB South) and then running it as an Administrator". I wonder how I can execute the command? I have looked on internet, have Terminal, but cannot get to 'the next level' and start verifying/converting the JPEG files. Can you help please?

Nick Cooper Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Sorry I can't, as I do not have Mac. Hopefully someone who does will be able to tell you what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly, you do not need to download convert.cmd. The scenery folder you download from orbx includes a file ( mac conversion) which you simply click on to run it to convert the jpg files to dds files in the textures folder. Takes a long time. Hope this helps. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Hello again, these images seem to me to explain exactly what to do (apart from the typos) and I see that you asked the same question in the topic where they are. Which part do you not understand and perhaps Frank can tell you what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schollema Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi, thank you for your reactions. It is just that I do not see the conversion file for MAc. so got confused. I will try to re-download. Regards, Bert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hello, a new download will only waste more bandwidth, as it will be exactly the same as your existing download. Better to take another look at the download you already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schollema Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi. I have re-downloaded GB South (cross platform download) and I see that I miss some files, i.e. the Mac_1 conversion file and the Mac_2_cleanup file. What I have is the nvcompress-osx file, but that is of no use. Can you tell me where to find these files or send them please? Regards, Bert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And...it does not work. This is the result. And no action. I am sorry to have gone through this trouble, and it cost me the price of...no new scenery. I am disappointed. I will perhaps have to wait for a true MAC version. Regards, Bert And it does not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bert Please don't give up as this really is a true Mac version that does work. I have it running perfectly on the Mac version of X-Plane on a 2014 27" 5k Retina iMac. The resulting scenery is jaw dropping and even on my now rather ageing Mac very reasonable on frame rates - except over London! The download and install was a little convoluted and in my case took well over 24 hours to uncompress TE South. Hopefully someone will be able to sort out what is going wrong.

Schollema Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hi. Some time ago I thought I had the right action to finish installation for ORBX South England. Turns out I hadn't. I have downloaded the file (26Gb) and decompressed the ZIP to my temporary file on disc. This gives a 'genreral error, after which I can unpack. BUT: I miss some files now: the Mac_1 and Mac_2 conversion commands to be put in Terminal. Hence: no conversion is possible. Would you have any help or tips available please? Running under newest version of IOS on a MAC. OR: maybe the files for MAC conversions are available as a separate download?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schollema Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 I have got things working now. Please disregard previous message. It seems my UNZIP programme caused the conversion files to disappear. I have used another unzip programme...et voila. Process is underway now, curious about results in due time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
