A remake of West Wales, UK for FS2

    I started remaking West Wales and so blown away by the quality of the images I now intend to remake all of Wales over the coming weeks for my FS2.


    Here are some sample pictures, hope you enjoy them.

    Great - and the image files can also be used for FS4. 8) :)

    Configurations:

    - MacBook Pro (16", 2021); Chip: Apple M1 Max; actual macOS || Thrustmaster TCA AIRBUS EDITION: 1x Sidestick, 2x Quadrant, 2x Quadrant Add-On || Pro-Flight-Trainer PUMA X

    - iPad (12,9", 4th Generation); actual iOS || nimbus steelseries

    Moin Michael,


    I use both FS4 and FS2. My sceneries are now all in FS4 under

    • /Users/[my Mac-loginname]/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/scenery

    and FS2 accesses them via

    • <[string8][extra_user_folder][/Users/[my Mac-loginname]/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4]>

    in the main.mfc from the FS2. :)


    The following applies to the individual function folders:

    - airports: FS4 needs some adjustments and some functions are missing, but I don't care about that

    - cultivation: FS4 only (replacement some parts for places from FS2)

    - elevation: FS4 and FS2 are identical

    - images: FS4 and FS2 are identical

    - places: FS2 only

    - poi: FS4 only (replacement some parts of places from FS2)


    I hope that the SDK for migrating FS2 sceneries to FS4 will come soon (finally), but I already fly a lot with FS2 sceneries. 8)


    Tschüss, Michael

    Thanks Michael for your very clear explanation, this will help others with fs4 to use my scenery readily available on flight-sim.org


    Kindest regards, Michael.

    Hi 🍎🚁,

    unluckily FS2 orthos are only partially compatible.


    Due to a wrong prioritisation, the new orthos gets visibly VERY late und you will see the regular IPACS tiles until then.

    Please see here for details:

    Thread
    Image Priorization Bug - still present
    When using ORBX or user orthos, there is a wrong priorisation.
    The IPACS orthos of lower layers stay active, though that layer is also present in the ORBX folder as level13 -9.
    Here is an example of orbx-nl Rotterdam. Please compare the water colors.
    Observed in version 4.0.5.1 and before.

    Thanks Thomas I thought that was the case as you had spent a long time testing our home made scenery. Ah well I will stick with FS2! Cheers Michael.

    Moin Thomas,


    I just had a look at Rotterdam in a direct comparison of FS2 and FS4. At least on my Mac I don't see any differences between the two versions that are too significant for me. :)


    Tschüss, Michael
