• 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.

Import resample configuration

The scenProc IMPORTGDAL step to import imagery data assumes that the imagery you use is georeferenced in some way. So for example as GeoTIFF or as BMP file with an accompanying world file. But that is not always the case of course. Some developers use unreferenced images and provide the needed coordinates in the INF file for resample.

Therefore I have now added a new step to scenProc that will read these INF files: IMPORTINF. This will go over the INF file and for each image defined in there add it as a feature to scenProc with the correct georeferencing. Afterwards you can use the image in the DETECTFEATURES step for example.

Hi arno, thank you for your job!
i've one request about this new step: could you (or someone else) show a simple example of inf file?

thank you again ... from italy

Hi,

Yes, it should be in the manual in not too long.

I'm typing this on my phone now, but if I remember correctly it just takes one argument: the inf file name.
 
Hi, forgive me but maybe I did not explain my problem correctly.
What should I write in the inf file?
Something like this?

[Source]
Type = Custom
SourceDir = D:\img
SourceFile = Area1.bmp
Lon = 16.171875 ;for top left and bottom right is: 16.40625
Lat = 41.6601777076721 ;for top left and bottom right is: 41.484375
NumOfCellsPerLine = 8192 ;Pixel is not used in FSX
NumOfLines = 8193 ;Pixel is not used in FSX
CellXdimensionDeg = 2.86102294921875E-05
CellYdimensionDeg = 2.14576721191406E-05



thank you...!

Hi,

The assumption is that you have this inf file already from when you made the photo scenery. But the lines you wrote should be enough.
