Quite an area you have covered Chris would there be any chance of a couple of screen shots just to see what it is like in the lower tiles assuming that they are zoom level 16?

Many thanks in advance

Hi mate,

Sorry for the late reply. The area I've done uses 313gb of hard drive space and will suffice quality wise at lower levels. Yes it's not great but when at altitude, it looks OK.

I did a very quick flight from Madrid to Barcelona earlier and took a few shots for you. You can see the colour difference in some of the tiles but it is free scenery after all.
The runway is part of the payware enhancement ALES v2.

Hi Chris, very many thanks for doing the screenshots. I have 495GB free as using a 1TB SSD Disc but somehow I don't know whether I want to do all that again, had done the whole of the UK long before Orbx did TE UK and as my flights are mainly UK any-way with some now stretching into Europe I might just leave it as it is for the time being as if I do go MS2020, I will need to use the rest of my SSD for installation.

Again, many thanks for posting it looks very good indeed!!

Regards
Nigel.

A quick update on my Ortho experience...

I give up with it. Having spent an age compiling all of those tiles, I get random messages such as...





and with that, X-Plane promptly closes. There's only so many times I can take off in the same aircraft, on the same route and not get to the destination because of this.
It's a shame because when you get visuals like this for free, it really does make it a pleasure to use.

Chris, did some Googling in regards to your problem and there are a number of help questions regarding similar problems, on the link below have a look at Bassmans comments and sorry I cannot help you on this: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/f ... r-terrain/

Guys,

I'm struggling. I've downloaded Python, Installed all of the whl packages, visual studio build etc.... but when I omen the command prompt go to my OthoXP directory and type:- python Ortho4XP_v130.py

I get the error below.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Ortho4XP_v130.py", line 9, in <module>
import O4_Imagery_Utils as IMG
File ".\src\O4_Imagery_Utils.py", line 6, in <module>
import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

I'm clearly doing something really stupid

Any ideas? I was expecting some sort of program to launch.

[EDIT]
Nice to see they keep the Install_Instructions.txt up to date Theres an exe in the Binary folder

Ben, you should be able to download Ortho4XP 1.30 as a package. It's not very clearly sign posted so easy to miss. I've tried to find it and cannot find a direct link to it anywhere. I'm nowhere near my PC at the moment so can't search extensively.

I did download the package, that’s the one that still has the old install instructions about installing python etc

Okay. I didn't install Python and all was well. Maybe that's the answer?

Yes, I’ve got it working fine. The point was that the installation.txt doesn’t mention that you don’t need to follow any of those steps anymore and you can just click on the exe
