• 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.

MSFS20 Autogen and CBOR files?

Today @SteveFX (AVSim commercial member, DX10 Scenery Fixer for FSX) noticed that the Japan package needed to be updated separately in order to fix the tall building bug in MSFS 1.93. This is what he posted on AVSim:

https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/...files-updated/?do=findComment&comment=4377322

The autogen object data is contained in .cbor files (located in ...\Official\OneStore\bf-pgg\PGG\diorama), which may be Concise Binary Object Representation. I took a quick look at one file with a hex editor and it does appear that the files could be in CBOR format. This is not the BlackShark AI autogen placement data, but rather information about the specific types of autogen objects, what textures they use, how big the are, how many vertices they have, have many variants there are, etc.. I have no idea whether any of this information is useful for understanding the autogen system in MSFS, but I was wondering if anyone else has any thoughts on this?
 
Hi Jay:

Perhaps these links might shed some additional light on the subject ? :scratchch

Buildings much too high still in 1.9.5.0 Patch

There is a tree editor app, that can do this for all veg across the sim. It’s very good. …and works through the community folder so no core sim changes.

I am also interested in understanding how to finetune and adjust the data driven / procedural world of MSFS.

I love the coverage so no need to generate our own but I would like to see if eventually we can tune the default data to adjust the height of buildings in some areas and ideally make them use custom textures for the facades...
 
Very interested as there's a few OSM based buildings that look good in my old home city but the textures assigned to it are just way off...
