• 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.

Autogen building height

Hi,

In the current version the height of the autogen buildings is the same for each tile. It is set with the SETAGNBUILDINGHEIGHT step.

I think the autogen can be more realistic when each tile has a different value. I was thinking to use the amount of building footprints in the tile as a condition. So when there are few, it is likely to be rural and thus lower heights. And when there are more it is more urban.

Does that selection make sense or are their people with better ideas on how to select this?
 
I would think your right on the idea that the height of a building depends on the density of buildings in general,... I'm sure there are exceptions to this at times to,...

Can there be exceptions within ScP as well? Of course once its done,.. how would ScP know the difference,... it is just Autogen,... lol
 
Of course there can be exceptions, that the purpose of this discussion :). Trying to find an approach that works well.

I guess there are also cities with lots of low buidlings. But for the moment I can't think of another approach. Unless I could load some raster map with population density or so.
 
Possibly one way, if the data has the location of the center of town/city etc... the buildings will be larger in height and more dense in that area. Does the data contain information if the area is residential or not... that would also help. Just thinking off the top of my head here sooooo,..... :)
