• 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.

For some new scenProc functionality I am thinking about using some functionality and tools from GDAL. I am now trying to work out how to integrate it in scenProc.

One option is to call the GDAL tools, but then they should be already installed on the users system. So therefore there is this poll to see how many of you already have GDAL installed.

On the other hand I don't want to make the scenProc installation to hard, by requiring all kind of other tools to be there already. So I will also see if I can integrate it in scenProc itself.
 
Yes, indeed :)
 
Yes, having FwTools or OSGeo4W installed would mean you have GDAL as well. Although FwTools contains a quite old version by now, since FwTools is no longer updated.
 
Thanks for all the replies until now.

I have been experimenting with using GDAL functionality in scenProc now and it seems to work quite well. But it would probably be easier for me to include the GDAL DLL files with scenProc. If I depend on user installer GDAL I think that will give more questions and there might be issues with different versions, etc.

Now I just need to figure out how to distribute the development release. Because if I add the GDAL files for both 32 and 64 bit, I think the file will get too big to download. And besides that the GDAL files won't change that often, so I better keep them out of the development release download that often changes.
