• 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.

Resample not functioning

I hate to beat a dead horse. I read all of the topics before posting. I am trying to use a USGS GeoTiff to remake st. barts. I have microdem as well. I tried to export as a geotiff image and as a geotiff dem from microdem. I do not have the funds to access the geomapper software. This is the inf I am using. I am getting the same old error that it can not open the source file.

[Source]
Type = GeoTiff
Layer = Elevation
SourceDir = "SourceData"
SourceFile = "THISONE.tif"
ulxMAP = -62.953333333
ulyMAP = 18.0333333
xDim = 2.05590208e-4
yDim = 1.90104167e-3

[Destination]
DestDir = "Output"
DestBaseFileName = "Saint_Barts_Elevations"
DestFileType = BGL
LOD = Auto

The TIF being used is in WGS84 projection as said by the ERDAS view finder.

If someone would walk me through the process of making a new mesh it would be excellent.

Time in Flight simulators: 10+ years
Total time making scenery: 0
Total time attempting to make scenery: 5 hrs

Any help is very much appreciated. Please make any explanations very precise and clearly worded. This is a very new realm for me so it may take me a few tries to understand but once I understand the process I am a quick learner.

Thanks Again

p.s.
I tried the supplied samples and got the same error for the death valley example.

I got it to work. I didnt realize you had to use the whole file name ie. "C:\program files\microsoft games\microsoft flight simulator x sdk\sdk\terrain sdk\resample examples\(filename).inf" with quotes. My terrain is a few hundred feet high any way to fix that?

EDIT: FIXED FT-Meters...some mars mission comes to mind....

glad you got it sorted- you only need to use the full path if the inf is somewhere different than resample.exe. I find it easier to just copy resample.exe into my working directory rather than having to type long paths in the command prompt (same with shp2vec.exe)

A useful switch in the inf file for terrain information is the fraction bits setting- look into it ;)
