• 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.

Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new to the terrain side of developing and am attempting to download DEM in the form of a GeoTIFF and convert it to a Terrain mesh BGL. I wouldn't be surprised if its an error on my end but regardless of what data I download from this site (http://www.ga.gov.au/elvis/), I always get the following resample compile error:
"Not a TIFF file, bad version number 43 (0x2b)."

Before I try and contact them about the error, is there anything I may be doing wrong?

I've successfully compiled the example elevation data and the data downloaded opened in the ArcGIS viewer with no issues.

Thanks
Brendan
 
That will only work if the tiff file is in WGS84 projection and uncompressed.
In most cases it needs to be reprojected which can be done using GDAL
 
Thanks for the ideas.

The site gave the option for a few formats including WGS84 so that part should be fine, I think you might be on the right track with compression as the demo ones all show thumbnails whereas the download ones don't.

I'll try and report back :)
