X Plane 11- How to Get Ortho4XP Working

[@LunasWorld]

Here is an updated video for installing and using Ortho4XP kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX7UemSvgbWpfJI

[@GregVD]

Thank you four your video.

[@andrewandrew583]

Mate could you tell us the specs of your PC so we can see if were compatible with the 17-18 value thing

[@jdp747]

You have just changed my simming experience completely. For a 60 year old who has tried following other youtube instructions I found yours so easy to follow. Thank you.

[@LunasWorld]

Thanks John, glad it helped!!! Enjoy the new scenery 'facelift;' :@)

[@LetsplayIndieGamesChannel]

For those having problems with the overlay folder! If you create say 2 tiles.... once they are created and downloaded and stuff...... go to the map view.... click on ONE of your tiles, then go back to the main screen, then click on "build overlay" at the bottom. i did it for all downloaded tiles, THEN the "overlay" folder was HUGE compared to before... then it also worked. the textures work AND the autogen scenery..... and uhm... its mind blowing! thanks a gazillion for this tutorial!

[@VirtualAirTour]

Thank you for this great tutorial! One important note - reference autogen and global scenery step (mentioned at 10:18). If you installed the X-Plane Demo then upgraded to the full version some of your global scenery (western Washington state) is in the "Global Scenery\X-Plane 11 Demo Areas" folder rather than the main "Global Scenery\X-Plane 11 Global Scenery" folder. This will result in Ortho4xp generating the error "failure : there is no file to sniff from at the indicated place." and the autogen and roads will be missing in western Washington You will need to copy or move these files to the corresponding folder in "X-Plane 11 Global Scenery" folder as the X-Plane installer will not re-download these files since it thinks they are already a part of your installation.

[@gunnermatic1]

Favourite video - You are the only youtuber i have found that explains it and takes you through it for a noob like me. So helpful after spending AGES looking for tutorials that doesn't skip anything, I love the thoroughness of it and the outcome was amazing in Genoa. Which it inspired me to make my first XP11 video!!

[@CrystalLynx]

Finally, a clear and understandable tutorial. Thank you for educating me on how to use such beautiful scenery! Cheers and enjoy clear skies!

[@reptilerick]

Finally after going through 4 or 5 videos. It's so nice to see someone who knows how to turn up their volume and speak into the microphone so you can hear them. Good job. Thanks for the tut.

[@footfiles]

Important step- you need to start Xplane once then quit. This will rebuild the scenery config file and you can then edit the ortho scenery lines.

[@calebbaudia]

Yes, thank you!

[@emrekuyumcu108]

yes its right, i have done it thank you bro

[@MattMerritt]

You mean before editing the Scenary_Packs file and putting the new code at the bottom at 9:30 in the video?

[@infernoblazey9191]

thanks!!!

[@BetaWolf00708]

@@MattMerritt Yes, stating X-Plane to the main menu then quitting before the Scenery_Packs.ini edit will add those lines to the top of the file which then can be cut (CTRL/CMD+X) then pasted (CTRL/CMD+V) to the bottom.

[@1000vox]

Incredible, concise, articulate description of the Ortho4XP usage. Great job, and sincerest thanks!

[@concorde_7588]

Finally someone who has explained ortho4xp in a way that can be understood. Great video ,thanks

[@mrrjstudios506]

Thanks for all your efforts. I like your humility in admitting not being a computer "geek", makes it easier to watch. Thanks again.

[@williamtell7275]

Fantastic Video. i tried Ortho4XP before but couldn't get it to work, all sorts of strange anomalies. But after following your steps, what a revelation. Did it on my home town of Canberra, Australia and it looks fantastic on the night flight like your really there. Going to see how the day flight looks. Great work thanks so much for your tutorial.

[@williamtell7275]

dupasse10 I used AU-1 as the source base.

[@LunasWorld]

Yep, you might need to play around with the sources, OSM seems to be overloaded for some reason :D

[@FLFlyGirl]

Thank you! Your video is the only one that has helped. I tried using Ortho4XP 1.3 and went back to the previous version just so I could use your tutorial.

[@triskeets]

Great video! I'm new to flight sims and was really having a hard time deciding to either go with Free stuff or Payed. This has helped me in getting new contact and making the sim way more fun and not breaking the bank. I thank you sir.

[@LunasWorld]

Yep, instead of using OSM - Use Bing or GO2. OSM was the most reliable source when I recorded this video but not anymore....

[@fifesimracerguy455]

hey i may need your help my friend as i have the photoscenery looks amaazing how ever the buildings and trees disappear

[@H0NDAJET]

jesus. just noticed ur comment as i was downloading using OSM lol

[@fifesimracerguy455]

LOL that why i asked lol as i get loads of white error messages

[@officergregorystevens5765]

As a GIS guy myself, I'd recommend at least looking at ESRI's ArcGIS imagery. You can get a free 14 day trial on www.arcgis.com - it tends to be pretty darn high quality. Of course too here in a specific city like Waterbury, CT, I can look up Waterbury CT GIS, on google, go to the interactive mapping site and look at the 2012 or later aerial photography as a layer. If anyone does look please tell me what you think of ArcGIS's various basemap layers and such

[@LunasWorld]

Thanks for this. I've had a quick look and it seems that there would be copyright issues using this. :( Looks very promising though.

[@g7usl]

A man of your word and you never broke your promise from yesterday. Thanks for this I will lodge it in my memory for when I upgrade from XP10.

[@LunasWorld]

Thanks! I aim to please! :)

[@epiczeus945]

It does work in X-Plane 10, which is what it was originally intended to be used in. You don't have to wait unless you want to...

[@simonlepilot6465]

Wow.. I don't know what to say.. what an awesome tutorial. Finally explained without the jargon. always wanted Tiles for Xplane but could never understand it.... And now it makes sense.. Many thanks.

[@LunasWorld]

+Simon Harvey thanks Simon, glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@CaptainAirplane]

What should I do to prevent the destruction of buildings and trees?

[@OKFisherman]

What a perfect video. I was frustrated with no instructions with ortho4xp then I found this. Thank you

[@rayboxcyprus]

out of all the tutorials this is the best explanation ever.

[@JNX07]

Awesome vid and tutorial, Luna! I'm currently building a PC strictly for XP11/FSX, and your videos are getting me hella hyped for when I finally dive into the XP11 world. Keep up the awesomeness, mate!

[@LunasWorld]

Thanks, appreciated the comment!

[@phoenixjay9633]

Thank you man, I've been afraid of Ortho since I've been apart of the Sim Community. Paid a lot for my Rig, and did not want to screw things up. Great video and hopefully you can release the High Details around Airports. Cheers, my Dude!

[@jlpruitt3]

FYI everyone: I tried to use Bing per Luna's instructions and when I went to download it still kept getting OSM servers busy messages. So I restarted and tried again and it looked at Bing instead. So it may be you have to restart the program after you change the source of tiles that you are trying to point it at. Luna- fantastic video and a gamechanger for X-plane for sure.

[@-Sunny--]

Really like your calm voice. Great for tutorials! Keep up

[@MindstormExpert]

Did he say increase the Frame Rate? Awesome! Great video! Really made it clear for me to understand! Cheers

[@jay6817]

Love it! "Ok Chaps, those is really really simple" then goes straight into techno world, variables, DOS CMD prompted, Satellite imagery sources, capacity planning etc ;-) Kidding. Thanks Fella

[@BB-nn9en]

You have a wonderful voice. Sort of like a mix between David Warner and Alan Rickman. Do some audiobooks!!!

[@charlesbevitt6727]

Agree, please think about doing audio books.

[@MattMerritt]

Thank you for making this video... I am totally new to X-Plane, purchased a Windows Mixed Reality headset and just discovered with Ortho's are, and this video has been extremely helpful!! :)

[@blumac9801]

can you please make an updated version of this video? Because I can't find any more besides this one.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Superb instructional video many thanks, do you have to overwrite the overlays folder each time you add a new area (scenery tiles)?

[@LunasWorld]

Steve Walton I just drag the new ones that are generated into the custom scenery folder and that seems to work.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Perfect! Thank you :)

[@KT-ut9zg]

Very informative Luna thanks. I'm definitely going to download the Emerald Isle and look forward to seeing how that's covered. One thing I couldn't figure out is if auto generated road traffic still works. When you switched to night view, I could see the lights from traffic, but in daylight I couldn't see any road traffic at all. Does the Ortho4XP scenery cover it? Does the Ortho4XP scenery line up exactly with the default roads? Just curious. Still worth downloading but I couldn't make out this in your video.

[@PeadarBoc]

One absolutely crucial bit of information you left out is to click "build overlay" after selecting the custom overlay directory. If you don't click "build overlay" it doesn't create an overlay folder in Ortho4xp

[@Shamino100]

My god I wish I just listened to your video to begin with. I ended up with a headache after watching the original video. Thanks!

[@grapevineforge]

Thanks for this great tutorial! I followed your steps and got myself up and running with ortho scenery for my area. The only issue is that it seems to have put the entire area under water. I see the satellite imagery as the texture on the ground surface, but it's covered entirely by water ripples and reflections and looks slightly discolored from the water effect. Any idea what I might have done wrong? Thanks!

[@theflightsimboy4310]

Super useful tutorial ! Keep going the good work !

[@SteveSurgenor]

Just tried my first two tiles, amazing, thanks very much for the guide, I found that turning the objects all the way down made it look more realistic, they need more settings so you can keep the roads but not display the buildings, etc. One question, do you need to replace the overlay file when you add more tiles or do you add a new overlay file?

[@SoulFunk35]

Finally, in plain english. Thank you so much.

[@LunasWorld]

Very welcome, glad it helped! :)

[@BroBri]

This is extremely helpful! Thank you for taking the time to explain the process! Looks amazing

[@gullivermoi]

Melhor explicação que vi até agora, objetiva e completa, uma outra pessoa levou 4 vídeos para explicar o que você fez muito rapidamente! Obrigado!

[@b1lleman]

Hey, great video. You won't believe me but I have been battling with ortho4xp all day long today since this morning.It just wasn't working after watching some other video's and trying to get the python non-executable working. In your video you gave me a few ideas on what to check and. OMG, when Jernsey popped up on Level 19 )(! - quite quick to dowload also), my eyes popped as well. Thanks ! (BTW, Nice to see you're still loving the glider business :P)

[@LunasWorld]

Excellent! So glad it helped!!! Gliding = for sure! Addicted! :)

[@shaynepage8310]

Great job on making a previously confusing process clear. Any idea why I just get water when using GO2 as my map? ARC is the best but the ground colour changes. I'm in Alberta, Canada

[@prdragon47]

Awesome, so easy.. I was using ortho with hd mesh and another site and it was complicated. Didn't know you can do it with just ortho4xp, thanks!! ;D

[@gronygroovy]

Thank you SO much sir! Was dreading this, you made me try it and I am awaiting my first bathes to finish! :) Subbed!

[@richardgraham65]

Thanks for this! The OSM source is not working correctly, better to use BI or GO2. 2 Questions for you regarding this - First question: Why do you need to set that directory on the generate page - The XPlane 11\Global Scenery? There seems that no files are added to the directory? 2nd Question - If I generated for instance 4 tiles and they were generated into the Tiles Folder and I copy them across to XPlane, and I also have the directory directly beneath Utils. If I leave these original files in there Ortho4XP folders and then at a later date decide to add some more tiles, will the files update? or will it just add the new files and amend the directory beneath Utils? (The Overlay)

[@RCFRD]

Thanks for the great tutorial! However, I am stuck on Step 2: Building mesh. It never proceeds past downloading the elevation file. The viewfinderpanorama site is not responding via browser either. Is there anyway to work around this?

[@skipdog117]

brilliant stuff... very helpful. I'll give this a go now as I thought the whole thing sounded very complicated. Thanks :)

[@stanko9]

thanks for the video, I have notice that you have "Quebec landmark Montreal" I can't make this one working, each time that I put this one in,I'm loosing a big chunk of scenery between montreal and Olympic stadium (all empty grass whit out a single house) and I tried with every layers possible!do you know what is going on?

[@destyrian]

When I launch X-plane and load the plane up on my scenery, the game comes up with an error message in the loading screen saying it can't locate the terrain files. I'd like to point out that I used "BI" to generate the terrain. When I copied the files over to the custom scenery folder, the config files had no listing of the ortho scenery, so I manually added them in in the correct order by typing the file path as the others are written. Any ideas what that is?

[@notoriousmole]

Hi Luna, many thanks for this video, very helpful. I am currently generating a level 17 zoom for the Eastbourne tile! In regards to your new series of flying the length of the UK, have you generated all tiles for the British Isles for this? I think I may need a bigger hard drive very soon!!!

[@LunasWorld]

That's the aim...I have pretty much the whole of the south up to about Bristol so now working from the top down. I've just ordered a new SSD :D

[@notoriousmole]

I wonder if anyone has generated the whole world at Level 19, you would need a data farm :)

[@skye5132]

More like your nations google data centre

[@MrRJH90]

More than just a few hours lol according to this www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=600+TB+at+1gbps it would take just under 2 months.

[@bakers1ful]

in this video you mentioned about getting the airports more detailed. Have you figured that out?

[@scottishwings9648]

Very good! Nice, simple and clear.... thanks again!

[@Badger6052]

I tried creating two tiles over the Coachella Valley in California...I did everything according to this video. It did something but I did not get a good result when I fired up x-Plane 11.50. A lot of green textures, not good at all...no way was it like Austria! The mountains look like sand piles and Mt. San Jacinto has a weird off colored green texture. I took some screenshots but I see there is no facility here for forwarding them. Enjoyed your video though!

[@thelovoskyman7814]

took me 4 days 17 mins 56 sec's to set up the whole world

[@sander2000]

TheLovoskyMan if he is downloading can you set your pc inside sleepMode or can you turn your pc off or do you need 4 days pc on

[@sander2000]

[@1BassJohn]

You really downloaded the whole world? That would be Terabytes of data, at a decent tile resolution!

Great video, going to try this tonight! Thank you for the guide.

[@Muckylittleme]

Brilliant tutorial. I had browsed one or two previously and thought the process seemed to complex to bother but you make the process very simple to follow. Thank you. But I have a problem. Building the tile stops at "Recycling OSM data for way["natural"="water"]["tidal"!="yes"]".

[@LunasWorld]

Thanks! Hmm, try a different source. I recommend Bing or GO2. How long have you left it? It takes a while...

[@Muckylittleme]

Hi, thanks for reply and great vid. Yeah I tried different sources but same thing, stalls after Vector data (not crash). I have a fast PC and left it 30 mins and nothing happens. If I manually click build base mesh I get "You must first build OSM data". building vector data is no issue. It seems to be a new bug because someone else reported exact same issue in this thread. www.avsim.com/forums/topic/519995-a-basic-step-by-step-guide-to-ortho4xp-for-windows/?_fromLogin=1#replyForm

Same problem as well, tell me if anything fixes it for you. Edit: I switched the source to BI and it seems to be working. I'll see if the textures are still as good with this source.

[@TetonTravelerTSP]

Awesome tutorial. Just having the same problem here. Small server and lots of people trying to use it maybe?

[@nils169]

Awesome! I used BI as source. But I would try google source too. I always get errors... Is it known issue? Thanks for your help

[@tonyhoare5026]

New to xp and this video was the best found for tutorial of ortho4xp. One question, after I have created a tile and then go back to the app to create a new one, do I need to re-create the overlays ?? I guess it would be yes, and then I should overwrite the y_Ortho4XP_Overlays folder ??

[@BluelightGaming1]

This is awesome. How much does this affect fps though? I'd like to use it with flyinside and htc vive but I'm already pretty low on fps in more dense areas so can't sacrifice much. I have a GTX 1070 but an older I7 950 overclocked to 4ghz. U mentioned it increases fps but how does it do that?

[@gunnermatic1]

Hi I followed this yesterday and got it working fine which I thank you for. I've downloaded more scenery but I'm not sure if not only do I put the new tile into custom scenery but do need to do anything with the overlay folder already in the custom scenery from what I had done yesterday? In other words with the new one tile I downloaded today should I place the newly generated nav data it produced into the overlay folder of custom scenery in XP11?

[@DanielBreitschaft]

Hello, very good video... It's possible to edit the terrain and the 3D objects to take fine adjustment in your personal map ?

[@LunasWorld]

That, I'm not sure...can anyone else help with this?

[@MrPhysiq]

Fine adjustment of 3D objects, use OverlayEditor. It is meant for positioning specific objects around airports but ofcourse, you could decide to put a house in the middle of nowhere aswell.

[@DanielBreitschaft]

This is not my intention, I want to know how to import 3D objects made into applications like SketchUp or Blender and import them into X-Plane to position them in certain places. My intention is to create existing buildings and structures in the city where I live and that do not exist in X-plane by default. I want a program for Scenery Design. Thank you anyway...

[@OltcitRoom]

Hi, Grate video, i am assuming i have to install Pyton before doing anything?

[@1BassJohn]

Fantastic video Luna! I've been wanting to install Ortho for a long time, but it always sounded so daunting.. and I'm someone who is used to tweaking sim files etc. Forgive me if this has already been covered.. but if I have specific mesh scenery, for example, that covers Europe.. should I still keep that installed? I understand that ORTHO would sit on top of it anyway, but I'm concerned it might add too much clutter or incorrect overlap between the two. Any help would be greatly appreciated from anyone. Happy Flying!

[@matlemes95]

Hello sir! I followed the step-by-step but I'm having problems with converting the files, i get the following message: Waiting for all convert threads to finish. . . . . . . . . . and the waiting goes on and on and never finishes my conversion process. Can I have any help with that please? Thank you!

[@arnistefanarnason9478]

That was a fantastic tutorial. Thank you very much and regards from Iceland

[@davidharper1211]

That looks cool, il have to keep that in mind for when i upgrade to a computer that can run X-Plane.

[@elnidogaming]

Hi LW. I'm on the fence with regard to purchase. In your opinion, what's the best P3D v4.4 or X Plane 11??

[@BFGDoc]

Great video, thanks! Getting "OSM server was busy, new tentative..." continuously, any ideas? Should I just try again later? Thank you!!

[@UltimateMTB]

James Miller use BI as the source instead, apparently many people are having this issue, and switching to BI solved it :)

[@nils169]

Great Video. I want to use GO2 (Google) source for Switzerland. I always get error while downloading textures: "Presumably a missed cache or non existent data, will try again in ...." Is there any fix? With Bing in works, but several clouds on the texture :-( I also tried with VPN connection. Still same issue. Any advice?

You my friend, are a living legend

[@woodyww]

Great video! It really simplified the process. I'm not sure what to do with Python. Is it loaded into the Ortho4XP program? Can you please clarify? Thanks!

[@LunasWorld]

I think so yes, I'm not entirely sure myself...something to do with the scripting I think...

[@zhihanbling]

Python is the coding language that Ortho4XP is coded in/ uses. It is needed for its libraries that Ortho4XP calls.

[@marianopicco]

So I just subbed cos Im gonna get into XP11 soon, and I cant fully watch the video or research much cos Im at work... but is this to create scenery from satellite data, like road placement and building placement (although autogen generic ones)? Thanks!

[@smailbourahla6845]

Hi Luna - This was a great tutorial and it took the mystery out of Ortho4Xp for me. I do have a question though and that is, during the batch build phase, why access to openstreetmap keeps timing out just prior to the download phase. Should I just be patient and let the program do its thing or is there some other issue that I need to resolve? By the way, I'm not much experienced with this stuff so any help you can consider me dumb at this stuff. Thank you.

[@mingyang5782]

[@nikolajandersen2354]

Thanks for the video. I let Ortho overnight create just 1 title. When I woke up it wasnt finish yet. Getting a message Read time out.

[@LunasWorld]

Try using BI as the source rather than OSM...

[@nikolajandersen2354]

That helped. BI from now on. :-) Thanks

[@dereksanders7905]

Hi Luna, I've been watching the above video tutorial re Ortho4XP and found it very helpful as I have just started using it. However, there are a couple of points I feel need passing on to you. 1. If you are running a system that has Norton Internet Security installed it won't let you run Ortho4XP. As soon as you fire Ortho up Norton will remove the main application file and quarantine it. There are also other files within the Ortho package that it will remove. The only solution is to go into the Norton settings and set up an exclude from all scans for the Ortho4XP folder AND ALL Files within that folder. I feel that this needs to be pointed out in your video. ". When I first used Ortho4XP last night I followed your instructions and selected OSM as the source. This morning I found that the process of building the 2 tiles of the Brighton to Heathrow areas I wanted had failed. This was due to 'timeout' errors. Tried again this morning and the same thing happened. Tried a third time, but this time I selected BI as the source and it worked perfectly. This evening I made 8 tiles of the whole of the Swiss alps in just over 3 hours! The resulting scenery looks superb! I hope you don't mind me letting you know of these points. by the way, your videos are very good, I watched a lot of them before getting the X-Plane 11 beta. The videos convinced me that X-Plane 11 is incredibly good. Regards. Derek Sanders, Henfield W Sussex

[@LunasWorld]

Derek Sanders thanks Derek for pointing those out. I did not know about the norton virus issues. OSM at the time of the video worked perfectly too but I guess the servers have been overloaded so yes, using another source like Bing is recommended. Glad you are enjoying it. Small world that you are in Henfield. I know that town very well. :)

[@davidosborne6432]

Hi Derek, what size were your files at what ZL? I live in Worthing and just starting tiles for SE England .Were you happy with accuracy?

[@LunasWorld]

David, I'm in Littlehampton! :)

[@dereksanders7905]

Hi David, I'm in Henfield, West Sussex. In answer to your question...my files are around the 1.5gb in size using zoom level 16. and yes the results are pretty accurate. The only problem I have is that when I switch to creating a different area and then go to copy the completed files into custom scenery I sometimes get a message that there are already files with the same name installed and asking if I wish to overwrite them. I have tended to say no, keep the originals and then I find that there are areas missing from, the new scenery. Perhaps Luna could answer that one! Do we overwrite or not? Regards. Derek

[@davidosborne6432]

Just a thought, would the tiles slightly overlap and have small duplications, hence the files with same name??

[@flightsimer1]

Hi,great Straight forward video it worked a treat ,could you do one on adding third-party scenery like w2xp as I'm having some difficulty seeing any building .

[@robertjones501]

When you make new tiles and have a new Overlay folder what do you do with it if you have a previous folder from making other tiles? Do you replace the old one and it will still run your other tiles? Thanks

[@Mikelaw709]

I just deleted the file and then the game regenerated it with my tiles, but the scenery is TOTALLY jacked, it has dropped the ground down 200+ meters, but the airfield (Ft worth Alliance is at the regular height, then it just drops off and replaces regular texture with ocean. So confused.

[@abhoving6291]

Great video, thank you. It worked so well for me that I installed about thirty tiles. No loading a flight takes about 7 minutes. Is there a way around that? Best, Ab

[@larryschroeder2964]

What can I do I did everything according to the video and after the DSF/Mask progress bar is loaded up i just get notes on the side saying HTTPConectionPool and all that stuff has read time out and will try again in a few sec. And that pops up over and over

[@kekke2000]

If you want to know what the tiles look like before you wait the 2 hours you can go to the Orthophotos folder in your Ortho4xp folder to look at the jpegs once you see the program started downloading them. If they turn out just blue or something else weird, just quit and try some other base source.

[@JeffryJohnston]

Good day Mate, Thank you for your tutorial video. I have a question. If a person has HDv4, UHDv4 with OSM overlays already in X-plane, and then includes Ortho4xp, will thre be a conflict between meshes? I fully understand the file structure here, and also understand completely how, where, to install the program. Also I am considering FPS. Basically, most of the people making tutorials on bettering x-plane report that they run gtx 1070 ti or better and i7 7800 CPUs, what about those simmers who have graphic card in the 1050 ti 4GB - 1060ti, with i5 7800 CPUs? And as well these tutorials are produced for 4k monitors.

No conflict, X-plane reads the Highest priority mesh first and ignores the rest.. If HD has a high level zzHD and Uhd is zUHD, then HD will be read first and UHD will be ignored. If othro is zzz_ortho4xp is set then all others will be ignored

Thanks for the tutorial! The only issue i have is that the real runway and the rest of the airport objects are few meters above the ground texture. I assume it's something related to the order in the scenery file.
