This video shows the result of Ortho4XP tiles and overlays at zoom level 18 in X-Plane 11. X-Plane still generates its own objects such as trees, houses and cars which mesh surprisingly well with BI satellite images.
This trip started at the Republic Airport at Farmingdale, and ends at Port Washington. On the way the Cessna 172 flew over two RC model airplane fields: the Whitman Flyers' at the Bethpage Polo Field, and the HHAMS Aerodrome in Port Washington. The flight path also covered these places in Long Island: Hicksville, Jericho, Brookville, Old Westbury, Roslyn and Baxter Estates.
(Updated 2018-10-20: check out a new version of same route, but with Photoscenery Autogen and simHeaven Forests, to complement Ortho4XP. See: • Long Island terrain by... )
TrackIR was used to track pilot's head orientation and location, allowing for near-realistic cockpit experience. See my previous video on TrackIR: • Flying the Cessna 172 ... .
To learn to use Ortho4XP, all you need is this video: • X Plane 11- How to Get... . However, know that this tutorial made a fatal error. Do not follow the video when it instructs you to choose OSM (Open Street Map) as the "base source provider". You must use BI or some other tile image provider. OSM is useful as a tile "preview" provider, for the "Choose Custom Zoomlevel" dialog. But never use it as satellite image provider - when generating tiles, Ortho4XP will get stuck in an infinite loop getting OSM connection timeouts, and retrying to connect.
The entirety of Long Island required only two tiles. Half of each tile is the ocean. Each tile takes up only 5GB as a result.
