• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Running texture filter editor

Looking through 6.3 in the scenproc manual it only references using a single geotiff image to apply a texture filter editor to.

I've produced some PR using FSET and want to use the downloaded tiles in order to get autogen that matches the PR. Any idea how I can do this please?

FSET does produce bmp files which have the geo-coordinates in the filename, and FSET downloads to the working directory all the satellite tile images, but doesn't produce a fully georeferenced file that I could simply slot into Scenproc as far as I'm aware?

Cheers for any pointers.. K

Hi Kevin,

You would have to load them into scenProc through the INF file, since the geo information is stored in there. I'm not sure if I programmed it so that you can load multiple of them at once, I never tried to process big areas this way.

yes thats the conclusion I came to, but FSET doesnt produce a regular inf file so I'd probably have to manually create one for each image using the geodata in the filename before running it through scenproc.

Workable but hardly efficient :(

Would be much easier to create the PR entirely in scenproc :p. #maybenextyear

Does FSET not make any kind of INF file at all?

yes it does of course, I was wrong - looked in the wrong place sorry :)

I produced a quick small area of PR to test it on this morning, so will see if I can successfully run that through scenproc tonight later using the FSET base image and the inf data.

Cheers K

Excellent, got it to work through the inf file with a 3band histogram filter quite easily.
Shame the actual resulting shp file bears no relation to reality, but that's my lack of ability to get the filter correct, not a problem with scenproc!! :)

2nd run was a lot better, much more accurate, but I need more practice at this...
