February 16, 20242 yr Moderator Just a heads up, the new update for Ortho4XP is now on github https://github.com/oscarpilote/Ortho4XP This does X-Plane 12 compatible meshes (with season support, bathymetry, etc). Oscar indicates that some of the water features might not look too good until 12.1.0 is out. Happy tile compiling!
February 16, 20242 yr Tony, I just started using AutoOrtho, and XP12 makes me even happier (which means the mean time between uninstalls will surely grow considerably 😁)... OFC I know they're different solutions but I wonder if in some way they can combine? For instance, does AutoOrtho use Ortho4XP to build it's own orthos, and if it does will a new version be possibly using this new version of Ortho4XP ? Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
February 16, 20242 yr Author Moderator I think autoortho just uses Ortho4XP for the base mesh files (but skips the texture part). So it should just work However, I'd wait for a little bit, this is still alpha and a work-in-progress, and I'm sure the base mesh tiles will be updated shortly

February 16, 20242 yr Author Moderator Just a warning... I tried to update a few tiles I have, but it's fairly buggy. One tile ended up trying to generate 45 million triangles and crashing X-Plane (Tile +48-124)

One tile ended up trying to generate 45 million triangles and crashing X-Plane (Tile +48-124) That's odd. I just tried that tile to test and only get 3.5mil. USGS 1/3", tol 0.75. That makes sense on my end given that said tile is 50% water. What's also odd is that the git updates were mostly (a ton of) C src code. The final exe that it it all builds is indeed in the Util folder but doesn't get called by any of the pythons. I don't think any of the imminent changes are turned on quite yet. No change to GUI either. He's probably waiting till 12.1 to fully release the hounds. Edited February 16, 20242 yr by blingthinger Friendly reminder: WHITELIST AVSIM IN YOUR AD-BLOCKER.
