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....
:) Was also looking at the 750W power
supply ;-)
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......
Real Life elevation is a good
start. It can vary significantly from FG elevation in my experience.
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. the paths can get rather long
and need to exactly right. Do you stick all your scenery in the
"~fg/data/scenery" folder or do you have a separate one for downloaded scenery
(especially NZ ).
eg I have "~fg/data/scenery" the core (KSFO) scenery and
"~fg/scenery" for extra downloaded stuff
Its no extra trouble and will
make it a whole lot easier (I just share the appropriate folder on the FG PC
and map a drive letter to it on this (the utility) PC.
Just for that I'll even add skybridges for you ;->
-------wicked!
Cheers
