carlosqr Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 Queenstown I don't know if this has to do with Orbx or not but.... here I go I don't like this color difference Around the airport some textures seem to ovelap and are flat like this one showing cars with NO cars, and the papi lights in wrong position And there are no buildings.....

Nick Cooper Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Hello Carlos, many thanks. Orbx asked only for "feedback from existing users on their NZ Mesh experience". I think that you will need to address your other concerns to Microsoft, at their Zendesk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevg Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Re mesh. Without Orbx mesh French Pass is no longer, just wide open ocean with lots of Jettys with boats just floating around where Durville Island should be. WITH Orbx Mesh, Perfect, French pass is there normal size and boat jettys are attached to land. I'll keep Orbx Mesh thanks active meantime until new one is released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasordod Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Hello Carlos, I'm guessing that you have another vendor's Queenstown airfield installed over the Asobo one and you have photogrammetry enabled. I have the same and find that turning off photogrammetry here gives a much better result for both missing objects and terrain colour variation. For me, the photogrammetry here does not add a lot, anyway. Charles Edited February 25, 2023 by chasordod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the type of feedback Orbx is looking for. Both finding places where Orbx NZ Mesh is improving WU12, like adding Durville Island, as well as where it causes errors, like water up on the hillside at Milford Sound.

" If you have installed World Update 12 New Zealand, which I assume most people will do, I think Milford Sound looks best right now if you uninstall Orbx NZ Mesh. (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." ...

bvdboomen Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Default Queenstown actually looks very spectaculair with the, what I think, 1m DEM in a wide area. I wonder, if you disable PG, will the high resolution DEM still remain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasordod Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) For me, this is a bit of a compromise. First, I wanted a wanted an airfield with more detail within and around the airfield boundaries and found one on the marketplace. It has a compatibility issue with some photogrammetry objects in this update causing most such buildings in the area not to display. Second, like Carlos, I find the terrain colour difference between default and photogrammetry areas a bit of an immersion killer. There is more terrain texture detail and more accurate tree cover with photogrammetry on, however. On balance, for me, in this location, I prefer photogrammetry off. I greatly enjoy the other photogrammetry areas in this update, particularly those covering the three major cities.

Interesting comment about turning photogrammetry off, I'll do it just to see the change, thanks a lot I believe Inibuilds will do an update for this one then as the terrain of the airport looks darker than the area Thanks a lot for your feedback Charles (namesake) Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to fly with photogrammetry on due to cities, they're priority for me bit in this area there is no big buildings so many it worth trying with it disable, I'll test I also think my expectations for Orbx's Milford Sound where too high. We'll test with suggested settings Thanks Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
