• 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.

P3D v4 Problem with seasons

When I'm trying to compile bgl with resample with different bmp's for seasons no photoreal scenery displays in sim. If I use the same ini file and just use one bmp and "Variation=All" parameter than everything works. What's the problem with my ini file?

Code: 
[Source]
   Type = MultiSource
   NumberOfSources = 7

[Source1]
   Type = BMP
   Layer = Imagery
   SourceDir = "."
   SourceFile = "L15X35394X35466Y23508Y23592_SUMMER.BMP"
   Variation = July,August,September
   Channel_BlendMask = 6.0
   Channel_LandWaterMask = 7.0
   NullValue = 255,255,255
   SamplingMethod = Gaussian
   ulyMap =  45.259422
   ulxMap =  14.4250488

Hi 0Artur0,

It's nearly impossible to detect the problem unless you include all files so we can attempt to resample it ourselves. The web has plenty of free storage space to allow us to download the original files. One Driver and Google Drive are 2 such free spaces.

I understand. I'll try to arrange something. Those are some seriously huge files and resampling takes a long time so I didn't think anybody would bother.
What about the code itself, does it look right?
 
Hmm, I am missing the line:
Season = xxx
in the code for each source
(xxx = Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter)

And try adding
BuildSeasons = 1
to the [Destination]-Part...

What do you mean by "Season = xxx"??? Isn't that supposed to be "Variation = xxx"?
 
I am always using both, Variation = yyy
with yyy = January, February, March ... December
and Season = xxx
with xxx = Spring or Summer or Fall or Winter...

i.e.:

[Source1]
Type = BMP
Layer = Imagery
Season = Summer
Variation = July, August, September
SourceDir = "."
SourceFile = "L15X35394X35466Y23508Y23592_SUMMER.BMP"
Channel_BlendMask = 6.0
Channel_LandWaterMask = 7.0
NullValue = 255,255,255
SamplingMethod = Gaussian
ulyMap = 45.259422
ulxMap = 14.4250488
xDim = 2.14576733732876E-05
yDim = 1.51477251838234E-05
 
Hi guys,

don't want to kidnap this thread but I face something similar.

In my case I have:
- 1 variation for March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November
- 1 variation for December, January, February
- 1 Blendmask.

I manage to see both variations if I change the date in the sim but my Blendmask applies only to one of the Images (the winter variation has no blendmask and shows as a square in the size of the default image).

Below my .INF file:

[Source]
Type = MultiSource
NumberOfSources = 3

[Source1]
Type = BMP
Layer = Imagery
SourceDir = "."
SourceFile = "LRTRv5_PHT_GND.bmp"
Variation = March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November
Channel_BlendMask = 3.0
SamplingMethod = Gaussian
ulyMap = 45.8192292735028
ulxMap = 21.3038635253906
xDim = 2.68220901489274E-06
yDim = 1.86958624578188E-06

[Source2]
Type = BMP
Layer = Imagery
SourceDir = "."
SourceFile = "LRTRv5_PHT_GND_W.bmp"
Variation = December, January, February
SamplingMethod = Gaussian
ulyMap = 45.8192292735028
ulxMap = 21.3038635253906
xDim = 2.68220901489274E-06
yDim = 1.86958624578188E-06

[Source3]
Type = tiff
Layer = None
SourceDir = "."
SourceFile = "LRTRv5_PHT_GND_B.tif"
SamplingMethod = Gaussian
ulyMap = 45.8192292735028
ulxMap = 21.3038635253906
xDim = 2.68220901489274E-06
yDim = 1.86958624578188E-06

[Destination]
DestDir = "."
DestBaseFileName = "LRTRv5_PHT_GND"
DestFileType = BGL
LOD = Auto
UseSourceDimensions = 1
CompressionQuality = 85


If the OP or the MOD's will request, I will open a new thread.

Regards,
Gerald
