• 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.

FSX Resample.exe - missing/broken functionality

SDK States that resample.exe can batch-compile several INF files into one single BGL file. Namely:

Running Resample tool from the command line allows a few options and the use of multiple .inf files, with the following format:


Resample [-i, -q, ?] file1.INF[file2.INF…fileN.INF]

This does not seem to work. My tests using "Imagery" layer (photorealistic landscape) show that, if I had 2 INF files and I wanted to compile them together, everything is compiled properly, but in the end result, it seems that the textures from the FIRST INF file were re-used in the SECOND INF file.

Was this observed before? Any fixes for this problem? :confused:

Thanks,
Misho

Why not simply run them separately?

If this is a process you must perfrom several times, then you could create a batch file.

It doesn't seem that parsing multiple .inf files to resample is in any way necessary.

I'd find it very handy if I could merge several INF projects into a single BGL. Also, I found that, if you have multiple BGL files that happen to cover common area (if they happen to overlap in places, for example), there seems to be an interference and strange artifacts appear instead of expected textures (water surfaces, for example).

The old, FS2004 resample had "companion" utilitiy TMFMerge.exe (or something similar) that merged TMF files, and then you'd create a BGL out of the consolidated TMF (the rocess used to be INF->TMF->BGL)

For FSX, they got rid of the TMF step and now the whole process is simplified - however, the multiple INF to a single BGL seems to be broken.

It doesn't work fine when I have around 100 source sections in one INF file, and 10 to 20 INF files... :eek:
