• 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.

Areas with poor OSM data

Hi,

I'm just wondering if there is a quicker way of adding building data for areas that lack OSM data. So far I'm editing the .osm.pbf data for any areas in JOSM editor and manually adding the data for each building, but this is very time consuming.

Is there a faster way I could do this?

Many thanks,

Dan
 
Hi,

Depending on the area you are working on you might be able to find another data source than OSM. For example a local GIS office or so. But there is no general answer to this. If you can't find any suitable data, drawing it yourself is the only option, but that is time consuming indeed.

I am trying to run a .shp file through scenproc as I believe i have found one with better data than the .osm.pbf one I was using, but when I point scenproc to the .shp file then press run, it runs both finishes instantly and doesn't create anything. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

Your log clearly shows that scenProc failed to open the SHP file. It seems the SHX file is missing. Do you have 3 files that are needed for a SHP present (SHP, SHX and DBF)?
