• 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.

FSXA Autogen Season Problem

There's a section of the autogen which has a different seasonal texture.

It is the same autogen type as the rest of the surrounding vegetation.

Is there anything one can do about this?

Hi,

Check the seasons BGL with tmfviewer. I guess you are just at the edge of an area for the sessions, so you fall in two definitions.

I never tried it, but I think you can make a custom seasons bgl for your scenery to fix this.
 
I just checked and it's all hard winter. The mild winter area is about 50nm south. This is odd indeed.
 
Which month? If you don't select the month in TMFViewer it defaults to January. Select the month you're showing in your screenshot from View > Seasons in TMFViewer. I'll bet you'll see mild winter adjoining spring at those coords.

You can fix it with a waterclass in SBuilder (because waterclass has the same values, 0-4) but edit the .inf changing Layer = WaterClass to Layer = Season. You'll want to check each month in the sim and see if any others have anomalies, then if necessary your season adjustment can fix Mar, Apr, and Sept or whatever it needs in the same .bgl by adding a separate [source] with the appropriate Month = X value.

Ah yes. I didn't change the month. Thanks Jim.

Can I change it outside of SbuilderX? I was thinking a low res geotiff like one can change landclasses with.
 
I'm sure you could but if you just click out a few tiles of "002_Deep Inland Water, Blue" (002_Deep Inland Water, Blue = Spring in the seasons.bgl) in SBuilder and then compile it SBX will generate a QMID7 sized .raw file with the needed values which serves in place of the geotiff. It also generates an .inf with the coords, xdim ydim, etc. so all you need to do is change layer=season and month=X in the .inf and drop it on resample.exe. Don't worry about the size of the QMID7 cell, it will just be transparent to the sim everywhere except where your adjustments are.
 
Well, I wouldn't say Sbuilderx was easier...

I gdal warped my photoscenery to 10m/pix. Used Geotiff to .inf to generate the inf. Filled it with vaule=2 (spring) which is RBG: 2,2,2. and resampled it.

Works great and took about 2 minutes!

Couldn't have done it with not knowing about the "season" layer command though thanks!
 
It would have taken me 1/2 hr of digging through txt files to compose the gdal command, lol. Glad you got it sorted :) .
