• 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.

P3D v5 Germany Photoreal

Hello everybody!

Sorry that I haven't shown any pictures for some time.
That's because I reworked my script to create the photo scenery.
The advantage: My new script runs about three times faster than the old one!

It won't be long before pictures arrive! Promised!

With that in mind:
Have a nice weekend everyone!
 
As promised there are now new pictures from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern!

Best pics so far to my opinion.... A growing risk for ORBX, when your technique is used correctly by the users...
 
Every single image is absolutely amazing, and as manschy says, easily an equal to ORBX's True Earth scenery!
 
Thank you all very much, I'll do my best!

To be honest, I don't want to compete with ORBX at all.
I actually only started the "Germany Photoreal" project because I found the approaches to German airports somehow too... monotonous. And with ORBX Germany the performance impact was to big to fly with the FSL above Germany...

I'm sure ORBX could do better, especially since they don't need data to place the trees. I don't have this option simply because I
a) don't have the processing power and
b) don't have the time to color correct the satellite images, which would be necessary...
 
I don't want to impute intention to you :).
I simply noticed a big talent quite big enough for that comparison :cool:
 
Oh, my talent is not so big, I just know how to use my GIS-software... :p
And as long as I don't have to create models, the result is usually also usable...
 
Picture number 9 looks VERY familiar. And I can just about spot the part of town that I used to live in.

Those pictures are amazing!
Could you write some tutorials how to do that for us?
In Asia, it is hard to find the GIS data. There is no information to do autogen. So, is it possible to do by photoscenery alone?

That sounds great, I was not sure if the cities up there look like I think they have to look... :D

Hm, Tutorial... Quite difficult, because for each area it is a slight different approach.

You're right, for Asia there is nearly no data available.
Beside the Germany-Project I am writing scripts to create autogen for Africa (which is like Asia very difficult). I am trying to detect the vegetation from the satellite images (what is very difficult because of the quite bad satellite images free available).
The bigger problem are the building footprints, I haven't found a solution yet. But I am working on it! :cool:

Well, you should definitely try to get a hold on some more landmarks. The city in question, for example misses all its (huge) churches.

If you crack the Africa thing it would simply be amazing as there is so little accurate scenery available for Africa. A month back flying from Amsterdam to Sao Paulo in real world the route passed more than a thousand kilometers more to the East than on normal flights and we flew over Sahara all the way down to Dakar... it sparked curiosity to see the same at lower altitude...

Oh, unfortunately I have far too little talent in modelling...

Since I visited Africa last August, I am working on a good version of Africa. The vegetation is one of the problems (the smaller one. I think i have a solution for that).
The bigger problem are the building footprints. But today I found a sotware, which might solve also this issue. Has anyone already heard of "Digibati"?

Might I show you a few pictures of a "little" project I did last year?
