• 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,

I just thought to show you where i'm at with my GeoimageProcessor tool, I am currently processing my entire country of New Zealand for water and blend masks. The attached screenshot shows what's been done so far and not having to sit in front of my computer to hand draw coastlines and lakes etc...

It takes a little while but not having to intervene means the process can get on and I can do other things. So, be sure to check out my tool, it's available here on FSDeveloper forum if you want to do the same. All you really need is to have fairly good quality shapefiles and accompanying .shx files and FSEarthtiles or Tif images to get going.

:-)

This seems like a wonderfully useful tool! One question; do I have to supply a file from fsearthtiles, or can it also be from, for example, SBuilder with an inf files that I wrote myself? It seems like all the inf file is required for is the coordinates of image file?

The tool creates the inf file and processes it. It is not coded to process custom inf files.

For fs earth tiles you need the area earth inf text file and the source bmp files for the resample tool.

For Tif images, the tool will process them directly as long as they have geocoded meta data within them.
