• 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.

    P3D v4 Elevation Data including "missing data"

    Hi both of you! After reading several threads I also have another idea. I wanted to import more DEM with a different resolution to get rid of the cliffs from the .tiff-squared-image. I wanted to solve this like this. My area of interest has a high resolution. Then the more we are getting to the...

    P3D v4 Elevation Data including "missing data"

    Hi, currently I am restarting an old project to make it compatible for P3D V4. For the DEM, I got a new (finally) higher resolution. However I have a problem and I am asking myself the whole time if that is possible and when yes, how. My mesh data does not fill a full square GeoTiff file. So...

    Thank you Holger for clarifying this! Much appreciated!

    shp2vec and generating railways

    Ahh thanks Holger for that! Now it works. One question now since I am not familiar with that: are vector applications like Orbx Vector changing that terrain.cfg file to change GUIDs or are these values on any running FSX system the same?

    shp2vec and generating railways

    What do you mean with photo textures? I just take the GUID and the UUID like stated in the SDK under .../doc/Environment Kit/Terrain SDK/Terrain and Scenery.html I do not use any photoreal ground textures or so.

    shp2vec and generating railways

    Hi guys, I have a big problem with shp2vec. I tried it now on several multiple ways but none was successful. I have downloaded my .shp files from GeoFabrik to further process them. I then have added the railway.shp-file to my GIS, deleted all unused attribute table field, added the two fields...

    Discussion Thread about the wiki article "Create mesh using Global Mapper"

    Open the file with an application similiar to Word or so, then you get no problems :) About the .inf itself: yes it looks similiar, but usually some lines change due to a different interpretation of the resample.exe if I am not mistaken.

    Discussion Thread about the wiki article "Create mesh using Global Mapper"

    Hi MM! The term "FS2004 SDK rules" is quite a bit misleading. Therefore I updated that phrase for better understanding. The "FS2004 SDK rules" was a simple way to say that you need to read, understand and apply the definitions, etc.. which the FS2004 Terrain SDK gives you in the Creating...

    Drone and Photoscenery

    Hi, for sure this would be possible. You then "just" need to import the files and georeference the pictures and you are ready to go. The only problem who might occur would be the fact that you absolutely need a license from your civil/military aviation authority. For sure on some airfields with...

    Autoinstall

    I worked too in VS2010 (or was it even older?) to make such an installer but I failed due to the uncountable amount of errors which are being thrown out while writing, copying, crypting,... My opinion: better to use any of these products available on the market since they have been developed...

    FSXA GlobalMapper

    I know that GIS software does work with raster data. I try to get an insight and do some tutorial then.

    FSXA GlobalMapper

    Oh that sounds interesting. Do you mean photoreal creation in a GIS software (qGIS, ArcGIS,..) or in GlobalMapper? If it is in GIS I may take another look :)

    FSXA GlobalMapper

    Sure. Without now advertise for "my" tutorial, I did a little tutorial about creating/converting a raster data file to mesh here.

    Discussion Thread about the wiki article "Create mesh using Global Mapper"

    As I had now finally one afternoon free, I overhauled the tutorial a bit and changed/added several things. If you can still find some mistakes, feel free to point them out! I am also grateful to everyone here who helped to fix the tutorial!
