Go and get all your goodies!!

OZx 3.2 Upgrade

From the steamy tropics of North Queensland to the cool temperates of Tassie - we bring you 10 more strips to test your navigation and landing prowess. Prof has authored a string of "pearlers" across the Cape - just use the Google Earth kmz's in OZx\User_Docs\Maps in your FSX folder to plan a tour. Mitch and Ed have a couple of rippers for the Sandgropers, too. So for those of you who loved what we did before, here's more of the same but even better. Ken and Prof have invented new grass and weeds to infest their fields and they're spreading them on their muddy boots. Tony's done a beautiful little special request in NSW and we've called in the fence builders and retro-fitted fences to some old strips with more to follow. So make a plan on a piece of paper, climb into your favourite bugsmasher and head off to some weedy godforsaken little widowmaker of a scratch-in-the-bush airstrip.
Pit your wits and courage against the elements and bask in the satisfied glow of a well-executed plan and skilful landing. Fly on Gamespy if you want to brag to your mates!

OZx NA 1.0

What a difference to Australia! In PNW, if you fall out of the sky you have a 40% chance of hitting a strip. In populated areas they're only 1-2NM apart and even in the boonies they're often only separated by about 6NM. But wow! Spectacular snow-covered mountains separated by abysses of dense evergreen forests, wild rivers and wild life. Island hideaways for the wealthy, hunting lodges, logging camps... and how do you get to all these places? Bush aircraft! So, in the tradition of OZx_AUS we offer you OZx North America. Select a taildragger or floatplane, preferably with turbo for the altitude, and go bush. Beware the locals: bears, mountain lions, wolves, etc as they can be dangerous. Always do a flyover to check for terrain, obstacles and animals. Our new skills, new utilities and new models make OZx_NA our best yet. Get out there into the Wilds and have a ball!

I hear nothing but great things about this scenery but can someone please explain (e.g. for the NA scenery - assume that is North America, not sure what PNW is though) i) what geographical boundaries it covers, ii) what type of scenery is it, e.g. does it include landclass, mesh, photo real etc and iii) what else you might need to buy/have to use it and what other things it might not be compatible with?

I just checked their main site and the screenies look impressive but the product descriptions are fairly cryptic.

This package requires the payware Orbx FTX NA Blue Pacific Northwest (PNW) scenery which is available from www.fullterrain.com. This scenery covers from BC down to Northern California and from the Cascades to the coast, which is a large area. The scenery itself replaces many textures, adds tons of airports, photographic scenery (AMAZING HONESTLY), includes landclasses, mesh, etc etc etc. Check the website for better details.

This topic about OZx is about the release of OZx 3.2 and OZx NA.10, which are free addon packages for these areas. They supplement the area with photo terrain, highly detailed airports, etc.

Like bread and butter.

To OZx, thanks again mates! Great work as always. Can't wait to try this out.

I know what you mean. LOL I bought OZx Australia months ago and never had time to install it. Just did with a new computer rebuild. But, have I flown it.....Noooooo, still adding airports to PNW.

I REALLY need to get down to Australia.

I checked it out a few hours ago. It adds some new airports and their dedicated scenery (such as photo-terrain) to this area, making for some nice hops.

Though I've downloaded both files, there's no mention of either at the ORBX or FTX websites.

That is because they are not an Orbx / FTX release :)

They are an OZx release --> http://aussiex.org

We obviously work closely together but the two are seperate entities as such

The OZx home page appears to be unavailable at the moment. I get this response from both IE and FireFox -


CRITICAL_ERROR:
Line : generic, class2.php


Error reported as: [6]: Unable to form a valid connection to mySQL. Please check that your e107_config.php contains the correct information.


I guess it's either broken or very busy ...

Are you sure you are trying to get to http://aussiex.org ? Just asking cause we do not use e107 scripting

JayKae,
sorry about that - bad "old" shortcut on my disc. I was just coming back here to say that your links at the beginning of this thread are still good,

I'm running SP1 only on my current install, and all the OZx sceneries work great!
