OZx 3.0 Released!!

Yeah as boxcar said but if you do not install it... you will have some issues with height etc in Australia
 
Mr. Jay Kae,

So what you and Mr. "Boxcar" are saying is that despite having FSGlobal2008 installed, I will also NEED HolgerMesh installed as well; am I correct in my understanding?

I know it seems silly but from the FTX Forums, I was under the impression that if you had FSGlobal installed you should NOT install HolgerMesh; Has that changed? I DON'T see it indicated anywhere that this has changed, thus, I ask...
 
Hi James,

FSGlobal, FSGenesis, and my mesh files are all derived from the same Shuttle Radar source data so they are pretty much identical. The difference is in those areas where the source data had spikes or holes: each developer uses different approaches to deal with those. Having said that Australia doesn't have many issues in the source data so the differences would be limited to a few locations, primarily in mountainous terrain.

In short, you don't need to install my mesh files as long as you keep in mind that there are minor differences here and there. And there is no incompatibility with other mesh files so they happily live together on your HD (the HolgerMesh should be at a higher display priority in the scenery library).

Cheers, Holger

P.S.: Congrats to the entire OZx team for releasing v3!!!
 
Thank you all, Gents, for trying to be helpful. :wavey:

Thank you for explaining it to me in a more precise (detailed) way... I must admit that I was a little confused from reading posts from the past. I have NEVER installed OZx before. And, since I have >1TB of payware Addons on my current system and no way to back it up again and recover it should anything go wrong (as Norton's Ghost 14 NO longer works in Vista 64 since July'09) so I'm a little cautious when it comes to many FREEWARE packages; better to be safe than sorry, in my book. I was also aware from reading a post regarding the FSAddon Tongrass X Payware, that HolgerMesh replaced some default files instead of just adding to them (for various reasons) and so, I am also asking to be sure that I don't mistakenly mess things up on my side due to a lack of knowledge. Thank you for putting my mind at rest and now I can look forward to install the >2.2GB OZx files that took >3 hours to download.

Cheers, Gents! :wavey:
 
For those people that could not download earlier if you now go to the OZx download page, you will now have a direct link and also for those people that have Rapidshare, the rapidshare links :)
 
Hi Jay,

At the moment the download seems not to be available at the moment from your site.:blind:

Later, Rob
 
@Alex yes, there is, blending is based on FTX background but the actual aerodromes are just as nice in vanilla X as they are in X with FTX :)
 
Waiting in line for my download at Rapidshare as usual mates. Had a splendid weekend at the races at Martinsville, both of which were won by fellow Virginians. :jump:

What better time to take a flight in Oz too, eh? :medals::icon29:
