pmb Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Just watch the trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLqkIqOVho8&t=1s I installed the update (together with the recently released NZCH by NZA Simulations) and made a roundtrip around Christchurch. It's plainly unbelievable what Flight Simulation has achieved those days. Kind regards, Michael 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heaton Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 took my first flight from Milford Sound - very disappointed - didn't seem to be as good as the previous basic offering the edges of the water is sooooh sharp - no landings/beaches The Hard Standing for aircraft and choppers is in the middle of the runway on World map As I took off in the 152 a bus drove across the runway 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePHL Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Yeah, the freeware by Sergio Del Rosso offers much nicer shoreline rendering, rocks etc. I wonder how the new update gets along with NZ Mesh. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Agreed Also this is the third thread about NZ feedback, Orbx should gather them all in one, maybe the official announcement by Ed This how MS looks like 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That should remove both Orbx-mesh-new-zealand and z_airport-nzmf folders from the Community folder.) If you want to keep Orbx's NZ Mesh installed for another reason, I still recommend manually removing the z_airport-nzmf folder. That will fix issues at the airport. Removing the Orbx-mesh-new-zealand folder will remove the Orbx mesh from all of New Zealand. It also fixes the current water on the hillside at Milford Sound. Orbx is looking for your feedback on NZ Mesh issues with World Update 12 installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done all you suggest - and find no change in my earlier comments the first pic shows a screenshot from my video some 18 months ago - and the second in a similiar position just now The 3rd and 4th pics show how wrong the world Map is - the aircraft is in the chosen position on the map and if one chooses the runway start position - you end up in the trees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvdboomen Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 That's not how it looks in my sim John. Do you have conflicting scenery? Try with an empty Community folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know uninstalling the NZ mesh should remove it but worth double checking. It was installed by the Orbx NZ mesh to solve issues around the airport pre WU12. It is now not needed and causes the problems you are describing at the airport. Like Matt I only see the water creeping up the hillsides if I have the Orbx mesh installed. All the best, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto2 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Using a similar angle to John's pic at the airport, here is what it looks like on my system without the Orbx NZ mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best, John Hi John - I most definitely removed 'z_airport-nzmf' from my community folder and felt sure about the Orbx Mesh - not there and i went and checked in Orbx Central and it clearly showed it was not installed just for curiousity - I also just checked the "packages official "-in File Explorer - and - BINGO - there it was !! dont ask me how it got there - I have no idea - unless - I bought it twice - which is not difficult to do with the marketplace system soooh now to open the sim and have another try edit - yes that was it - all nice and clean - and the anomaly at Queenstown has gone as well - O/mesh has gone from M/Place so I can't tell if I did have it twice - unless I wade thro' all my receipts. thanks to all for the help Edited February 25, 2023 by John Heaton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made two heli flights over Auckland City, one with Orbx Landmarks on and another off. I saw several spikes and malformed structures and the harbor bridge looked strange with the Landmarks on, thus I am afraid they don't play well together and I will uninstall it for now. Anyone to confirm this? If so, does Orbx have any plans to work on a compatible version? Kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also around NZAA(payware one) I think there's some issues. Think I'm going to hold off on installing the update till hopefully things get ironed out a bit. Holger mentioned in another thread they are working on making it compatible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmb Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Thank you both. I read the part on the Mesh but missed the one on the Landmarks. I'm optimistic you'll make Auckland looking great again. Overall, Orbx has done a great job with the NZ update. Kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
