Ortho4XP v130 tutorials : 1 - Introduction

[@sibbiblue]

Absolute phenomenal tutorial on your software. Just starting out to use it and was finally able to install it on my MAC. Thank you very much for providing the community with this outstanding tool and taking the time to carefully explain all its features to the user.

[@C-Swede]

Thank you so much for your work and generosity in providing this tool to the community.

[@johngalonska5753]

Once again you have made me happy. I have spent a long time learning the older version, and now I can upgrade. Thank you for your work.

[@AdventuraHighway31]

J'adore! Enfin des tutos extrêment detaillés et clairs, merci Oscar!

[@flightsimactu7700]

Thank you very much Oscar for this useful tutorial ! What you´ve created is just fantastic.

you're a genius!

[@mfannee]

Cher Oscar, merci infiniment pour votre superbe travail!

[@DTrecording]

Just coming here after seeing your comment on another video. Hoping to get to the bottom of this whole ortho thing as a new x-plane owner LOL

[@jankin880]

Gorgeous ...thank you so much for your magic tool...since one year now there is always a giant vertical highway pillar in the middle of the city of Antwerp, Belgium after the tile is created...hopefully I can solve this now,by diving a little more in to how everything works.

[@RotationFSX]

Brilliant introduction to this amazing software.. Many, Many thanks

[@guillaumeameline7370]

Just one word : FABULOUS!!!

[@britfrog]

hi, love your prog but can you tell me why if we used fset in fsx we could get really sharp images even down to flying below 300 feet whereas with xp11 the ground starts tu blur under 1000 feet in both cases using the same images from google. is it possible to modify ortho so the images stay sharper lower?

[@alexanderobrien7111]

Awesome! WHats the difference between the zoomlevel on the main page and the zoom level you select in the 'Preview / Customzoomlevels'?

Bonjour Oscar Pilote; Je débute sur X-Plane. A ce titre j'aurais besoin de vos compétences si vous le voulez bien. Mon anglais n'est pas excellent et je ne comprends pas grand chose quant à vos 3 tuto sur Ortho4XP. Je le regrette. J'ai un problème. Lorsque je crée une tuile, une fois que tout est terminé. La tuile n'apparait pas lorsque j'ouvre à nouveau le logiciel pour créer une autre tuile. Le rectangle jaune n'est plus présent Il a disparue. C'est très gênant car je ne sais plus quelles tuiles j'ai déjà créées. J'ai ce problème depuis 2 jours. J'ai du toucher un choix sans m'en rendre compte. Pouvez vous m'orienter vers la solution s'il vous plait. J'ai regarder plusieurs tutos sans trouver la réponse à mon problème. Je vous en remercie infiniment. Pour les 2 premières tuiles qui par chance n'ont pas disparues j'ai un code avec une lettre et un nombre. Je ne sais pas ce que c'est. Bien cordialement

[@crescendo222]

Thank you for the fantastic piece of software!

[@andrevdw747]

Thanks Oscar for the clear explanation 👍🏻

[@likes2fly]

How do I include surrounding ocean like in the Bahamas? Only water next to the beaches show up.

[@Volacharly]

sorry..but when I downloaded the ortho4XP for Mac file I can not see inside the yOrtho4XP_ Overlays folders .....what should I do? thank´s and your tutorials are really helpful......

[@genakrivulja1274]

Thank you very much! Now i need to know how about if i decide to modify a tile. Can I read cfg to see what zoom level I added. I want add other zoom level to converted tile.

[@Mika-he9xi]

Great great software but the only bad thing with Ortho is slopped runway are gone :( is it a way to make them slopped?

[@LeadNarrator]

It's nice to see you making tutorials for this. Knowing everything about the application certainly makes for more useful information to relay :P Nicely done. I have a quick question. I've been using Ortho4xp for a number of years now, but since upgrading to 1.30, i've experienced an issue where the application will stop download maps in the final step and instead says that it can't connect to the server. I thought at one point that it perhaps the map source having an issue (BING) but I tried a number of other sources too with the same result. The interesting thing is that it happens at exactly the same place every single time, regardless of the map source. I have also noticed that all my network traffic on my PC just stalls for a while... around 30 seconds... before working again. When it does come back, the map textures start to download again for about a minute and then it stalls. This keep happening throughout the process and it take forever to build a tile that's 80% water :P I can confirm that it's not my internet connection or network card/cable and I have tested them all with other devices/PCs. I can also confirm that this is the only application on my system that seems to cause this issue. It's could be something random happening in windows 10, perhaps. But why just for this? I was wondering if you had heard of this before at all? Any insight here would be most useful... or if perhaps anyone else in this comments section has experienced this and knows how to solve it, that would be useful too :)

[@IFR-ck5re]

Excellent! Thank you Sir!

[@fabienw.550]

Bonjour, merci pour ce tuto. Est ce qu'on l'on doit génerer les overlays d'ortho (sachant que j'ai xEurope) merci

[@oscarpilote8068]

Non, ils ne servent qu'à extraire des overlays depuis des scènes qui sont mixtes mesh/overlays, et sont inutiles avec des scènes overlay only comme X-Europe.

[@GrooTV]

The install instructions on the github says windows Users just need to use the binaries... but I can't find those binaries anywhere! May someone please post the link to download?

[@josechavarria5941]

If you havent found the binaries this is where you need to go. forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/160337-ortho4xp-v130-exe-version/ Log into the org and then look at his signature and you will find it right there next to the program.

[@GrooTV]

@@josechavarria5941 Got it Thank you!

[@HankOsterlund]

Thanks for this outstanding piece of software. Very useful. Are you planning to compile "medit" for osx?

[@oscarpilote8068]

You can already find an OSX version on the author's website (www.ljll.math.upmc.fr/frey/software.html), but I don't know if it work on more recent OSX version. I will indeed recompile one, but I don't have an every day access to a mac.

[@levalaisan64]

T'est un chef tu nous le fait en Fraçais sympa Oscar merci

[@smarty1064]

Oscar Pilote thanks for this, does this work on any area? do i have to install global scenery before it can work? (example for areas with water do i have to install global scenery first or when i generate a mesh out of it will be fine? )

[@oscarpilote8068]

You actually don't even need X-Plane (but the resulting tiles won't be of great interest without it!)

[@smarty1064]

@@oscarpilote8068 thank you, i was trying to create tiles for East Africa but the results was 1. tiles were not shown in x-plane 11 i only faced waters 2. the folder yOrtho4XP_Overlays folder in not created and i get this error ERROR: file /home/afribrainy/Videos/X Plane 11/Global Scenery/X-Plane 11 Global Scenery/Earth nav data/-10+030/-07+039.dsf absent. Recall that the overlay source directory needs to be set in the config window first., am using Linux Mint 19

[@daschmoboy]

Are taxiways and runway info retrieved from x-plane? or OSM? i.e. If I install a new airport should I regen the tile so the new taxiways are handled?

[@oscarpilote8068]

From OSM (I should have said that in the 1st tutorial, now I am unsure if I did). The relevant OSM data is processed and cached in OSM_data, you can edit it to your liking before redo Step 1 if necessary (that will be the object of tutorial 3).

[@merlin8166]

Thanks Oscar

[@davidweisbrod5771]

Le maître fqit6sa première vidéo pour la v1.30. Merci beaucoup ! Par contre, s'il est possible de faire une vidéo (en anglais ) pour l'installation de cette nouvelle version que je n'ai toujours pas réussi à faire fonctionner sur Mac. Merci pour tout!
