• 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.

    Black lines on photo scenery

    Hi, I have noticed as I work my way through the many photo scenery files, that a few of the tiles have developed a black line down just one side. (side varies) This was not there before I started on the Watermasks tiles even though 3 of the tiles have no connection to the watermasks. I have...

    Help with water mask.

    Hi Hely, Thanks for your last tip, you were right, I ran the program and it worked. Two things I also found out. Firstly I had to turn the water effects in "Display Settings" up a notch to change the colour of the photo water. Secondly, I have been playing with 2 levels of hi rez photo...

    Help with water mask.

    Hi, Tried that all in the same folder but still no difference. It is definately in the Tiff format. Here is a puzzel for you, I used Microsofts own landwatermask.tiff with my .ini and it worked fine. I opened the same file in photoshop 8, corel paint11 and MS Image studio 10, changed nothing...

    Help with water mask.

    Thanks Dick and Hely, I tried the name idea, even used one of the samples name but it still rejects the file data. If you look back at the screen shot (acouple of posts ago) is says something about the wrong "TAG" type, a bit beyond me but if you guys will keep throwing ideas at my, I be...

    Help with water mask.

    Hi RhumbaFlappy. The reason I choose a Tiff/Tif format was that all the examples were Tiffs and I recall reading somewhere that was the correct format. However as you can see from the earlier screen shot it is diregarded by the resmpler. I have also tried RGB tiff, no change, RGB bitmap that...

    Help with water mask.

    Thanks Toprob, That elliminates the Ini file as the problem, it must be the properties of the Black and White Tiff file as the Ini works fine if I substitute the originals with sample photos provided by the the resample program. This has me baffled for as far as I can tell the photo...

    Help with water mask.

    Hi, I wonder if someone could give me some help with creating a water mask ini file. In the past I have always relied on FSResample to do the hard stuff but that is not set up for FSX resolution. So far I have created a 8 bit Black/white image as I have done in the past but saved it as a...

    Resampling large scenery files.

    Hi, I am in the process of creating a large hi res photo terrain area (approx 5000 sq kilometres) and need some advise how best to resample such a large area. Currently I have 400 photos at 40 meg each and I am not sure how big a tile area FSX will cope with at 1.2 metre/pixel res. Does...
