jlund Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Ever since installing AUv2, I've had this feeling that somethings wrong, as I don't see the same as in many of the screenshots in the preview forum. I started a flight with the goto airport and chose Tamworth YSTW, and used the slew command to take a look around the airport, and I was affirmed in my suspicion that something is wrong. I don't have FTX Vector installed, and haven't had AU V1 installed, I have attached a picture of the problem, and one of my scenery lib. Do I need to rearrange anything? I've also unticked the Australia box (item no 88 in my scenery lib.) but that made no difference. Jorn L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hello, the addon airports have not yet been updated to match Australia v2. They will be soon and this problem should go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlund Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 It isn't an addon airport, but default AUv2, so something isn't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hello, it doesn't seem so far from what is there to me. Bearing in mind this is landclass scenery and not photo scenery: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlund Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Yeah, I know it isn't photo scenery or True Earth scenery, but from the many screenshots I was hoping (expecting) it to be similar looks all over Australia. So basically all the screenshots presenting AUv2 is taken in areas where you have optimized it with photoscenery, and outside of these areas it's just landclass, which can look like my screenshot?

Nick Cooper Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Yes. Here is the same shot in AU Australia. and with the Tamworth addon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlund Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 OK but I'm quite surprised to see that even with the Tamworth addon airport, it doesn't look anything like the real one as seen on Google Earth. Guess we'll have to wait for a True Earth version of AU then (I'm sure it NEVER gonna happen, but hey, we can always dream, right?) :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 However, not all the advertising is of specifically enhanced areas. For example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlund Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Probably, Did you mention that all addon airports for AU will be updated at some point? BTW. I think I may have the OZX airports somewhere on my Hdd's, will they work with AUv2 or are the airports in AUv2 already updated to "OZX quality"?

Nick Cooper Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 There is a topic in the compatibility forum on OzX airports and "Flukey's". Any update to the payware and freeware airports is going to be free and make them fully compatible with Australia v2, I am told. The updates are not going to change any of them.

jlund Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Thanks for the answers Nick. I'll take a look on the OzX thread. Ups. One last question. I have some KMZ files for some other areas like Germany North and South etc, will there be one for AUv2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridvan Celik Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I believe there is one in the user guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlund Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Not as far as I can see. It's a kmz/kml file that can be opend in Google Earth I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hello, this is in the user guide: Quote Please make use of the Google Earth kmz file included with this product ("FTX Australia v2 Coverage and Features Map.kmz", in the \ORBX\User Documents folder) as it provides geographic markers and additional information for the large number of airports, landmarks, and photoreal areas across the coverage area. I should have mentioned this forum as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlund Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Thanks, I was looking in the wrong place, but found it now, and that excactly what I was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heaton Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 So - following Nick's suggestion Just for interest sake - yesterday I found a similar .KMZ aid for anyone flying around England and the Channel French coast airports Put up by the Brits NAS www.nats-uk.ead-it.com/public/index.php%3Foption=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=260&Itemid=477.html shown as a google input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
