Hi Matthias,

I think you've done amazing work and I actually tried installing Ortho4xp yesterday with the intention of using it for P3D v5 and gave up. The problem I had was when I got to the instructions of the three steps in command prompt for installing the pip update, etc It kept saying the module doesn't exist. It's been a long time since I have used commend prompt but I know I was doing it right. I will look to give it another crack if I can get past that part of the process. Do you have any idea of what maybe I am missing? The pip files were definitely where they should be and still made no sense why I was getting that error.

Thanks,
Sean

Hi,
Can you read posts before this page and you can read the answer of Matthias, it's as simple as that

In Egypten wären Nur Palmen schöner. Diese Laubbäume passen da nicht so gut. Könnte man da noch ein Update machen? Lg

This looks great!

I take it the ArcGIS subscription you use provides better quality than the "ArcGIS Imagery" tile server in SBuilderX? For example, I make small photoreal backgrounds for my African airports using the ArcGIS tile server provided with SbuilderX, but they do not have the same quality as the imagery you have.

Hello dear everyone!

I'm sorry I've been a little lazy lately, and I haven't written here much...

But I think it is time for a few pictures!
I am currently working on almost every corner of Africa to finally complete this project:
While I'm still working on the South Africa, and partly rebuilding the autogen, I still have some problems with Madagascar.
At the same time I am also working on an update on Egypt.

But Algeria is finally finished!
And this is how Algeria looks now:

Are you selling this or is it available for download

 

[MatthiasKNU]

I am not selling this.

I have created an update for Egypt, which fixes problems with the Suez Canal, brings new satellite images in places and removes unsightly transitions in the water!

Is this available for download?

 

[MatthiasKNU]

No, it is not publicly available.

Amazing work, BUT I think it's a bit unfair to upload all these screenshots when it's actually not meant for public release. I was personally very excited by your Denmark project, and was very disappointed when I learned that we never will get our hands on it.
But very nice work.

After a MONTH of work, I finally finished the DR Congo:

The autogen package is available from now on!

Hi everyone!

I have recreated the autogen for Nigeria, so it looks even better:
To download - as always - visit this:

Autogen Packages - FSX / P3D und X-Plane 11 Forum - Alles zum Thema Flugsimulator, Flugsimulation und deren Addon‘s

The new autogen replaces the old one completely.

And now a few words to the new MSFS 2020:

I have been working a little bit with the SDK of MSFS 2020 lately.
My result so far is that the possibilities to create large areas with new autogen (if it still exists in MSFS) and with new photosceneries are very limited.
I would even go so far as to say that you get the feeling that Microsoft actually wants to prevent you from recreating such large areas.
For this reason it is not possible to transfer projects like my Project Africa to MSFS at this time.

The other question is whether it still needs it at all - the MSFS scenery is very good even in the remote regions - at least as good as my Project Africa for P3Dv4/v5, if not better.

Hi Matthias,
I do not understand the will (you and other) to want to bring Photoscenery images in MSFs2020 there is already everything at the origin and at the best resolution that we can obtain

Well, the scenery in the MSFS 2020 is great - no doubt.
What I personally don't really like is the Bing imagery. The colors often do not look right. Not only in Africa, also in Europe. The canaries look much to green, same with some southern parts of Africa, also in some parts of Bavaria.
They seem to have a turquoise touch.

And, as I said:

And, as I said:

The images coming from the server should be updated when bing map update
either by the way what bothers me the most are the reefs

Yes, but since they always get the data from the same satellite system, and always go through the same corrections, the turquoise hue will probably not disappear.
And yes, you are right, the reefs are also one big point.
