• 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.

Hi all.

Some progress in programming an elevation-creation process to make alternate planets.. I use a 64-bit C# library ( libnoise-chman ) to create the elevations. Google libnoise and complexplanet.cpp to see what I'm using as a basis.

Attached is a zip containing a Google KMZ of the images. Here's also some images:

interesting enough, who don't like to create new worlds with fictitious cities and airports. this will be a clean scenery? I mean if this will have fsx defaults airports or someghting so.
 
Hi Bernardo.

I think I'll have to create fictitious regions, seasons, landclass and waterclass. I'm not so sure I'll create new texture sets or autogen, but that is all certainly possible. Of course there would need to be new airports... the defaults wouldn't match the new world, as well as roads, rivers, shorelines....

Primarily, this is an experiment. But the software I have can make new world mesh from a seed number using a 32-bit integer... that's 4,294,967,296 possible worlds with changing only the basic seed number. There are also other values that can be changed to alter those billions of worlds...

Once I have a basic work sequence down, and if some interest is shown, I'll provide the software and whatever process I work out to do this so others can experiment.
