Ortho4XP is a scenery generator for the X-Plane flight simulator, written by Oscar Pilote
It is a really amazing tool and just like many others, I got addicted to it :)
Please be aware that THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL Ortho4XP Repository
A few resources for the original Ortho4XP :
- The Ortho4XP Forum on "the Org"
- A Discord server dedicated to Ortho4XP, with many people from the streaming community
- The original Ortho4XP's git repository
- The original Ortho4XP's dropbox
This repository contains both my own changes to this fantastic tool, and those that other people kindly sent me : everyone is welcome to join the effort !
Indeed, I volunteer to aggregate any change you'd like to see integrated in the next Ortho4XP release : I will eventually submit them, along with my own ones, to Oscar.
Until then, everything is freely available in this repository, here are the branches of interest :
- master : tracks Oscar's official releases : this one should work out of the box, there isn't any modification from the official release, except for the directory structure (the python is left unchanged). Also, I rebuilt the history of Oscar's past releases : you can access them through the Ortho4XP-vX.YY git tags.
- master-fixes : in the event of an annoying bug in the latest Ortho4XP release (Murphy's never far...) and someone has a correction for it, my aim is to put the hotfix here as soon as possible. This branch does not contain any of the new features, only bugfixes.
- integration : this is were the new features are merged. This branch may or may not work for you, this is a poorly tested (for now) development version. Despite that obligatory warning, I firmly intend to keep it as stable as possible at all times.
- other branches: do not even look at them, unless you know what you're doing. They're only here for backup purposes. Oh, and never branch from them !
You'll find a detailed explanation of the git workflow I follow in the wiki.
Finally, I'd also like to improve the overall code quality along the way :
- first based on pycharm buitin analyzer (pep8 checker, etc.)
- then on external tools analysis : starting with quantifiedcode, but I'm not settled on a particular tool yet => see the first results here
