• 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.

Texture filter configuration file format changed

The latest development release of scenProc adds a new file format to export the texture filter configuration file to. This new format is called the TF2 format and will replace the TFC format in the future. For now scenProc will support both formats, but I have some changes in development that will give backwards compatibility issues with the old TFC format. That is why this new format has been added now.

As I know developing a texture filter configuration file for complex feature detection can take a lot of time, it is important that developers can easily convert their existing configuration to the new format. There are two ways to do this:

  1. You can open the TFC file in the texture filter editor and then save it in the new TF2 format.
  2. You can use the tfc_to_tf2 command line conversion tool.

Once I have released the features in development now that will break the backwards compatibility option 2 will be the only way to convert your existing work.

Just to confirm, my TFC file (now automatically saved as a TF2 file), will process in the same manner as it did with the older version of scenProc in the latest version of scenProc? The steps have not been changed or "tweaked" differently?

Sorry, missed this post before. Yes, only the file format has changed not the way the texture filter steps work. For now the texture filter editor can save in both TF2 and TFC format. But the old TFC format will be removed in the near future.
