Download OrthoMagiX 1.2.3 MD5: 78dcef5911d8e9421c2b1d44f2a05a56
The download is a zip file containing a Windows Setup executable.
OrthoMagiX transforms ortho-imagery (GeoTiff) files into a size and shape that can be used by X-Plane. It creates the tiles and the polygons (.pol files) needed by WED, and injects the overlays into WED ready for your use. You can “Export Scenery” from WED and see the results straight away, but of course you’ll want to add objects to your scenery, and perhaps edit the ortho images.
