Martin Henare Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hi everyone, just to save further confusion. NZQN does not use a control panel like other scenery, so you won't see one in FTX Central. The initial intention for the control panels was to allow people with lower spec systems to be able to reduce the load on their systems. For this scenery I found there was little benefit of a control panel. So just install, set your region and fly Sorry for any confusion, hope you enjoy the Scenery.

dvdrawlo Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hi Martin. So it is rather easy on lower spec systems then? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Henare Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Looking at the airports in your list you should have no major performance issues. As always better start with lower settings and lift them to find your systems limit. But the region is open country side generally so pretty easy on the system.

Adam Banks Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I hate to say this ... but I'm getting pretty poor performance at NZQN Mind you - I find YBBN and YMML slow as well! A CP where I could maybe reduce some of the static objects would come handy for me at least! Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Adam, if you disable ground shadows and that sort of half baked fsX attributes you'll get a better performance, at my end during testing I had no fps issues, locked rock solid on 30 fps all over the place, and yes see my added my test settings all sliders maxed out with following exceptions: TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=4096 LOD_RADIUS=6.500000 Mesh res.: 5m Texture res.: 7cm Water High 2.x AI 50% GA Traffic 100% Road Vehicles 16% Ships 20% Graphics set via nVidia Inspector 1.9.7.1 FPS 30 limited in fsX BP=0 HIGHMEM fix nVidia 326.80 Beta drivers REX Essentials+OD tweaked Shade tweaked enb FTX Lights set to Night Real Weather my system specs are in my sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Henare Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 To put QN into perspective with YMML or YBBN, the number of objects placed at QN would be less than those for even the lowest level of objects of ML or BN. There are over 300000 autogen objects in QN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-Sauce Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I am getting great performance in NZQN (except for the re-draw issue mentioned on another thread, but that is not a huge deal), but I would still appreciate a control panel to disable the static aircraft. I use a huge custom AI setup and, as nice as your static models are, would really appreciate a control panel option to disable it. I know that one might be able to disable it manually, but this would also necessitate messing with the AFD file to make those static spots available. Do you think you could look at this option in a future update? It would make the AI crowd quite happy. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Henare Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 The APX takes into account the spots used by the statics, and our AI package is tuned to work with the APX. They are made by the same guy. So the only way to disable then statics and use their parking spots would be to modify the APX also. As Queenstown is not a very AI friendly place we have spent a great deal of time to get it to work as it is. To be honest we'd be reluctant to make any changes. So for your purposes the best solution is to manually disable the statics and adjust the APX as you wish. he file names for the Static aircraft are pretty obvious in the file structure. Changes are done at your own risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scianoir Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 YBBN and YMML generally deliver particularly low fps for me although it improves a little if I set FTX central to Global/hybrid. NZQN however seems pretty good in terms of FPS even with more demanding addon aircraft in use. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer58 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Trying to get some response about runway textures ..blurred and disappearing when using NZQN yet no problem when scenery is deactivated Using ORBX South Island and North Island Can anyone advise how to remedy this problem...

Martin Henare Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Cliff this is a thread regarding the control panel. Regarding the runway, this will be addressed in a patch later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer58 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 All good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-Sauce Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Changes are done at your own risk Yeah, that is what I was hoping to avoid by including a control panel option. So I guess I am SOL, so maybe you can confirm the file to disable. So, should I change "NZQN_Aircraft_PLC.bgl" to "NZQN_Aircraft_PLC.OFF". This is all the statics, correct? Then, I can modify the APX file "FTX_NZQN_APX.BGL" with ADEX? All I would like to do is add the parking spots that are currently taken up by the Statics. This should not mess with any of the approach code built into the file hopefully. You guys use ADEX to make the file? I don't want to open it with the wrong software and remove something inadvertently. I hope future airports will include control panels for such things, or at least a master control panel in FTX central to disable statics and use an alternate APX with all parking spots available.

Hangar200 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 "As Queenstown is not a very AI friendly place..." LOL You got that right! It's not a real sim pilot friendly place either! Have you taken a look at the departure procedures and approach plates??!! One of the most challenging airports I have ever flown into & out of (simulated). And I'm using the default ORBX NZ SI scenery! Good stuff! Regards, Hangar 200 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Henare Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 So, should I change "NZQN_Aircraft_PLC.bgl" to "NZQN_Aircraft_PLC.OFF". Yep that should do it. It think graham uses ADE to do his APX work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
