• 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 from OpenStreetMap question

WIll this show over photoscenery?

I've followed the steps to the tutorial for creating natural autogen for my latest airfield in the UK, but the Autogen doesn't appear despite the process completing without error with scenProc. Although it took almost no time to complete.

Even tried changing GUID's but no luck for me on several different areas and removing any photoscenery produces the default autogen with no way of being able to tell who's is who's!

Any ideas please?

Hi,

Yes, this should be used with photo scenery, as all autogen. Did you make sure the AGN files produced are in the texture folder of your photo scenery?
 
It won't appear if you have an airport background poly which excludes autogen ;)
 
Yes, and 3d objects with a bigs bounding box can also exclude quite some autogen.
 
I've not yet adjusted the flatten or afcad.

All I've done so far is export by airport photo ground poly into FSX, but even so, the autogen I created extends 20miles in each direction.

.AGN's are in the texture folder indeed. Have also tried this with another area and the same result.
 
Hello,
I have a little question too: how can I get the GUID for Vegetation/Points/Buildings? Or must I use the one of the Tutorial (What I don't think really)? Because in the Tutorial it says "The line CREATEAGNPOLYVEG does the real work. It takes two arguments, one is the filter and the other is the vegetation GUID. How these two arguments work I will discuss below. ". But I can't find where he wrote this... Did he forget it?...

Thanks
Johannes

Hi,

Look below the pictures, it is explained their from which XML the guid comes.
 
Slightly confused here George.

What .bgl am I supposed to be opening, the photo has been created in GMAX as a groundpolygon, so not SBuilderX and so will not open with the annotator.

If they are custom ground polygons they can't have autogen. So that would explain why you see nothing. You need resample photo scenery for this.
 
Hello guys,

as I am using WaffleFlights Luxembourg scenery, I wanted to make my own autogen for FSX as this photoscenery deleted every autogen around Luxembourg.

I followed the exact steps like told in the wiki article however I found two, let's call them problems, also if they are produced by myself:

1) Always when I use the command SPLITGRID|AGN in my .ini-file then scenProc says that there was an error and that the application does not respond anymore. No error message nothing else. If I comment this command out (#SPLITGRID|AGN) then it will run through, but

2) Then there are problems with the buildings. After the command in scenProc
Creating autogen generic buildings with filter FTYPE=POLYGON;FROMFILE=buildings.shp;FWIDTH<20...
Again such a "not responding" case. This only appears on the buildings. Trees and points are compiled without error.

Here then my .ini file for the buildings:
Code: 
# Luxembourg City autogen
IMPORTSHP|F:\Autogen Creation\LUX\buildings.shp|NOREPROJ
#
#SPLITGRID|AGN
#
SETAGNBUILDINGHEIGHT|1.0;0.0;0.0;0.0
CREATEAGNGENBUILD|FTYPE=POLYGON;FROMFILE=buildings.shp;FWIDTH<20|{5ae04eb6-934c-4f63-bb48-5e7dee601212}|MAXRATIO=2
CREATEAGNGENBUILD|FTYPE=POLYGON;FROMFILE=buildings.shp;FWIDTH>20|{6089A0BD-CED1-4c47-9A9E-64CDD0E16983}
#
WRITEAGNFILES|F:\Autogen Creation\LUX\texture\Buildings

I did not reworked the original buildings.shp file. Just loaded it into QGis and then saved as a new ERSI-shapefile.
Now the question of the day: What am I doing wrong?
thanks for any help!
 
Hi,

The SPLITGRID step is required, else you don't get correct autogen.

I indeed see there is a crash with the Luxembourgh shapefiles. I guess there is a feature in the shapefile that has something weird. I will check it.
 
I found the bug and it will be fixed in the next development release.
