• 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.

How to change autogen on landclasses without agn files

I'm feeling like I'm back in my beginner's days again - one question after the other... :o

As only few landclass types come with their own agn files, it seems others share those agn definitions. That lead to me thinking: If I change the agn files of, for example: #17 "shrub deciduous", this should also change the autogen on #40 "cold grasses and shrubs" as this seems to use the same autogen as #17. But the outlook of #40 autogen does not change. So where are the autogen definitions for those agn-less LC types stored? :confused:
 
Hi Thorsten,

I actually don't know where the agn data for classes are stored that have autogen but no separate agn file set in Scenery\World\texture. Doesn't matter though because FSX (in contrast to FS9) is your oyster when it comes to agn files. Just make new ones with Annotator for your custom texture sets, place them in your local texture folder, and they shall appear, regardless of whether the default equivalent have autogen or not.

Regarding LC17 and LC40: LC17 in Region A (where Iceland resides) uses 066b as textures while LC40 uses 139b as textures. Thus, the autogen definitions would be separate as well and you can make your own for each (custom) texture set or make duplicates so that both sets use the same.

Cheers, Holger
 
Wow, Holger, a question you cannot answer? :eek: :D
Thanks for the clarification. I should read your fantastic excel file more closely (regarding regions), I work with it everyday now. :)

I hoped it would be as easy to simply create my own agn files but didn't succeed. Now I know it was just because I used the wrong region. Thanks!
