Something that caught my eye in Decaff's site

[impaulready6418]

I was going around decaff's site looking for some interesting addons I could download and I came across his flightlogs, I was curious and decided to look into his flights until i saw the maps "North Lite" and "USA Lite" in some of the flights he's flew, this caught my attention because in one "North Lite" flight he flew, it was a John F. Kennedy to Heathrow route, I've never seen or found a map that had that route before or even knew about it until now, and when I scrolled down further there was a Heathrow to Anchorage route in the North Lite map, Anchorage to Miami in the USA Lite map, and even Manila to Honolulu route in North Lite, is this a personal map? or is it a map that has been lost in time? im guessing it was lost in time because the flight was taken in 2015-2016, and finally the last question, if its not a personal map, can someone give me the link or the file for it, it looks really interesting and makes me, a person who likes long range flying, really feel the long-range flying experience, thanks!

Is USA Lite part of my USA48 map, or maybe Decaff made some compilation maps of his own?

It could may be a personal map, but he could also be "stitching" trips together.

By stitching, i mean that you start from one scenery, then move to the other as if you "traveled" to the other. iirc, i saw a post about that. Figured this information could help.


If not that, its probably the GuamToSoCal map by Neocon

Yeah he probably did the old 2 maps one flight trick, I also do that with how I did a JFK-LHR a few days ago, just something I got interested of because I never seen that route with only one map before, thanks for replying though!

We are waiting for official statement from Mr.Decaff for this case.

I have a few personal maps I have edited together from several other folks maps. But that is perfectly fine as long as I do not try to release them to the community at large without getting the original creators permissions first. For instance I added to PNMVs WESPACs, Taiwan and The Philippines. I also created a La Guardia to UK map, heavily edited PNMVs North Caribbean. West Virginia to NY, AKA ,Syracuse that now encompasses much of NY, some of Pennsylvania and NJ. But I have no intention of releasing any of them since I did not seek permission to do that, and beside I doubt that most will have the necessary ground packs to support all of them. BTW they all flow well on my new Windows 10 machine.

[impaulready6418]

That's cool, i can maybe do that someday if i knew more about scenery editing, thanks for the reply though!

[impaulready6418]

and also, what's the most common/used scenery editor that i can use? i currently have the 2009 version but i dont know if its the right one that everyone's using, i know its a different subject form the regular post but just a quick question

[Neocon]

I always stuck with the 2009 version because it was compatible with most of the versions of YS in common use. I also preferred the user interface to the newer style.

[Gunny]

I concur with Neocon. 2009 is the way to go, also the learning curve is shorter than newer releases.

[waspe414]

It's always good to have 2018 on hand in case you need to do quick edits of post-2014 maps. I do all my work in 2009 as well, though

[impaulready6418]

Alright, Thanks!

It was a massive stitch together of just the airports (not the rest of the maps) into something that stretched from hawaii to Heathrow.
