UPDATE AustraliaPro version 2.03 Beta:
Chris K has just updated AustraliaPro to version 2.03 Beta. The updated version comes with the following changes:
Fixed: Residential composite textures (I finally found an urban composite texture I like!)
Fixed: Updated the noise control, resulting in mostly orthophoto coming through now with some tree texture to break up the mosaic
New: Urban Industrial Zone Textures with 5 Variants with 3 Orthophotos at high-resolution with colour correction
New: Far-away textures for above mentioned industrial zones
New: Urban park texture replacements, instead of just “a grass field” city park from Laminar
Featured: Organised the internal folder structure (had duplicate files in various locations)
Featured: Culled North American cars from the distribution for file size considerations
According to Chris “This is a re-do of _Cole’s excellent AustraliaPro 1.1 with a series of key improvements. His original file is still available via this link.
About what are we talking?
Are you tired of Flying around parts of Australia; and having it look nothing like Australia? You say “Ok… You got me… what does this file do?”
This is a quick-and-dirty hack to pop in some Australian-style houses, airport objects, forests, and urban textures into the Australian continent only. This is accomplished by using the X-Plane “REGION” System, to only swap out those textures textures within Australia Only. It also replaces some of the rolling “green” fields with “brown” fields in summertime; based on the date according to X-Plane’s configuration.
It works with X-Plane 10, X-Plane 11, Standard Terrain, HDMeshv3, UHDMeshv1 and so on. It does not affect any other location on the Globe, nor does it interfere with other urban-terrain replacement packages available in other areas.
