Hi Dene,
latest nvidia driver installed (from nVidia) but it's only a 32M card so
not expecting much from it. While I was in Wellington this morning I had a
look at the nVidia 7900GT hmmmm drool, drool. :-)
------sorry for the late reply....the 7900GT is
nice but requitres its own small nuclear reactor to run! Very fast though. Was
looking at this with the idea of creating a "Shuttle" system with one
included...have to find the PCIe motherboard though as this will make it sing!
Also required are.... :)
Getting the correct lat and long is often the hardest part of accurately
placing objects. I visiually selected two likely looking hills for the
Wellington Primary Radar and wind-turbine, then found out their proper
lat/long... I was miles off... all fixed now though.. I have a program called
UIView that can load jpegs (maps, satellite images what ever) as the back
ground and as long as you can provide the lat and long of the boundaries you
can find the lat and long of any point on that image. getting alt for me is a
matter of trial and error as I don't have Melchiors "UFO Tool". Fred's FGSD is
another method of determining the height of the terrain at a specific lat and
long and has it's advantages as it works directly with the FG btg terrain
files.That would be a nice addition to TaxiDraw too for assisting in the
placement of airport models.
------- A friend of mine has offered the use
of his GPS unit that gives not only Lats and lons but eleveation as well!! I
can get the exact data you need for the main tourist spots (the Catherdral,
Sugarloaf and the New Brighton Pier...), so we now have the ability to get
these things in the right place at the right height...all we need now is time
:)
The port of Lyttleton is going to be
fun......
What's the path to your NZCH scenery directory, I will duplicate it here
so the zip file will place the stg file in the correct location?
------dude, no worries, just wack it in a zipo file and let
me know where it needs to reside and I will pop in there.
Just for that I'll even add skybridges for you ;->
-------wicked!
Cheers
:-D ene
-----did I mention ,how much you
rocked?
Slainte,
