• 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.

    W.I.P. Tool for creating Elevation using Rectangles

    In my book you are pioneering the field of Lidar2Raster conversion, so I will not call it a botched way for sure. :) Sorry for my short hiatus, but to give you some background on the "setting the boundaries" part, here is an image: So my mistake in the beginning was that I exported the above...

    W.I.P. Tool for creating Elevation using Rectangles

    I had this issue once, when I extracted the GeoTIFF from another one that was actually smaller, as I had set the boundaries incorrectly to go slightly beyond the data in the GeoTIFF, resulting in large negative elevations where there was no data.

    W.I.P. Tool for creating Elevation using Rectangles

    Strange, never had this issue. Did you pick the right XML file, the one for the scenery? Not the Meta-Xml in the folder above?

    W.I.P. Tool for creating Elevation using Rectangles

    Sounds interesting, I kept wondering whether Lidar data may be useful for this kind of work. As I understand, it is basically like precise photogrammetry but without the imagery, so I am very curious to hear about your findings. Good luck!

    W.I.P. Tool for creating Elevation using Rectangles

    Sure, I'll try to walk you though my process, though I am sure there are many different paths that one may go. Step 1: Get raster data This may already become quite difficult. For the US, the USGS National Map Viewer is a great source, and depending on the are you may find 1 arc data (~24m...

    W.I.P. Tool for creating Elevation using Rectangles

    Hi FoxtrotScenery, thank you so much for this tool! It is exactly what I was looking for recently while working on some helipad sceneries. The tool works perfectly, and the result with 1m DEM is stunning.
