Hello Nick,
very nice to see you back!
We missed you...
Cheers,
Thomas
Here are a couple of more specialized sources, both copied over from Ortho4XP. For those with a working Ortho4XP installation, there is a comprehensive collection of sources in the /Providers subdirectory.
New Zealand
# Linz open data imagery for _PART OF_ New Zealand. Use only inside of .comb files with proper masking.
# https://data.linz.govt.nz/set/4702-nz-aerial-imagery/
grid_type=webmercator
url_template=https://koordinates-tiles-{switch:a,b,c,d}.global.ssl.fastly.net/services;key=ec2d27e902f1463c9145743576e03f31/tiles/v4/layer=51769,style=auto;layer=88131,style=auto;layer=95497,style=auto/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
(these are very popular among NZ simmers and free for non-commercial use and are already (freely) distributed for XP)
Japan
# Japan 2007 imagery (partial [-> use only inside of .comb files with proper masking] but very good in some places)
# Unsure about copyright
grid_type=webmercator
url_template=http://cyberjapandata.gsi.go.jp/xyz/ort/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.jpg
Not to forget: Could you keep an eye on that "locale" issue (0,01 vs. 0.01) I reported on GitHub?
Once more thanks Nick for trying to go forward,
Michael
Can we collate a list (with links) of requested orthophoto sources here and I'll start evaluating them and pick them off one by one.
Hello again Nick.
Now we have got an excellent mesh for Norway. And now the challenge is to find good ortho photos over Norway. In some places, Google or Bing work well, while other parts are useless. Then I tried to use "Zones Photo for X-Plane". (http://zonephoto.org/Cartes.php).
I regularly use your amazing AeroScenery. About programming I can do nothing. I then chose the cumbersome path:
I used AeroScenery --> "Download Image Tiles" (Bing ortho). Then I downloaded the same area from "Zones Photo for X-Plane". Then I have taken all the useless ortho from Bing into Photoshop - and replaced them with ortho from "Zones Photo for X-Plane". I then chose "Run GeoConvert" in AeroScenery and convert them to AFS2 .ttc files.
If it is possible that AeroScenery can retrieve ortho directly from "Zones Photo for X-Plane" - this is high on my wish list.
Here is an example of scenery from Norway (ENBL) where I have used ortho from "Zones Photo for X-Plane":
Is there any beta version of Aeroscenery with ArcGIS?

Not yet, but currently being worked on.
Hopefully I'll have something out in a couple of weeks.

Thanks a lot Nick. 
By the way: Here is one that has problems with AeroScenery. The member needs help from an expert (you):

Ainda não, mas atualmente sendo trabalhado.
Espero ter algo em algumas semanas.
Thank you!!
