P3D v5 Germany Photoreal

[GHD]

Thank you Matthias.

Here is a shot near Ramstein:



I have general coverage of Germany with hi-res inserts for the airfields.

I will need to copy some of your agn files to the texture follder of the inserts scenery.

A few pictures from one of the smallest states, the Saarland:

Hi Matthias,

Could you please show me what you see over 011222113312202an.agn which I believe is about Lat 49.427490 Long 7.265625

This is what I see in P3D V4 (and FSZ):

[MatthiasKNU]

It looks like it should...
Maybe you have to create for each state an own scenery folder, otherwise you could have such problems in the border regions:

 

[GHD]

Hmm, it looks fine in Annotator:



But I see no vegetation nor buildings in FSX:

It worked fine in the Bayern region.

Do you have a special AutogenDescriptions.spb or or models?

 

[MatthiasKNU]

No, nothing, I am using the default models to get maximum compatibility.
Is it possible that another scenery excludes the autogen? The autogen itself is definitly working.
Does it happen just in the area of the saarland and Rhineland Palatinate or is it also in Hessen?

As I said, i think a scenery you have installed is causing this problem...

Sorry Mathias,

Double finger trouble. I had the low-res photo texture in the France scenery area

And didn't have the hi-res photo texture active

However, there are a few "holes" in your agn files in this area:

 

[MatthiasKNU]

You are right, there are a few areas without autogen. To be honest, I have no idea what could cause this.
The input data is alright without anything that could create such holes. Also during merging the autogen no data gets lost.
I therefore suspect ScenProc that there is any effect that causes such holes. Maybe @arno has an idea?

 

[arno]

Without seeing the data it is hard to tell. Could be an issue in removing the holes from the polygons when writing the AGN file.

 

[MatthiasKNU]

Thank you Arno!

I will look into that...

 

[Deano1973]

Thank you Arno!

I will look into that...

A minor observation here: I'm working on a much smaller project while using the annotator, and I realised recently that if autogen buildings / custom buildings are put down first, then their presence will "block" the appearance of autogen vegetation added afterward using the annotator. It seems to me that buildings have precedence over vegetation, which was the cause of my own tree density reduction and sometimes failure to display. Removing custom BGLs in the same area allowed the trees to show at full density.

The scale of what I'm doing is much smaller, but I suspect the same rule may apply to your work.

Thank you!
I have changed my script and will now try it out in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia!

 

[arno]

I don't think in scenproc the order should matter. They are always written in the same order in the AGN file.

For rectangular vegetation I know it can conflict with buildings, so typically I remove the vegetation that overlaps the building. But for polygonal vegetation I'm not sure it matters.

 

[GHD]

I also dont think it is a mixture of buildings and vegetation causing the problem.

Mathias, could you please check to the west of EDRH?

011222113122133An.agn, Lat 49.625244 Long 7.133789.

I think there may be a couple of invalid agn files?

 

[MatthiasKNU]

Ok, while I still have no real solution for this problem, I added another function to my script, which is to make sure that all agn files were created for the whole federal state.
I tried it out now on North Rhine-Westphalia with success and it seems that for the upcoming state really all agn files are there.

Anyway, it seems that this won't help very much...

Now I will try to subtract the buildings from the forest rectangles...

Regarding this screenshot:
I looked into that problem... But I cannot reproduce it.

This screenshot shows the area, where the autogen should be missing (like in your screenshot). But it doesn't. It looks, like it should...
Are you sure you copied all agn files to the right directory?

 

[GHD]

Hi Mathias,

Are you sure you copied all agn files to the right directory?

If you look at the bottom-left of the white rectangle in the Annotator shot, you can see a few vegetation rectangles.

This shows that the agn file is present, but that it does not have a full complement of objects.

The one to the right appears to have no objects.

I will edit the files in Annotator to add further trees.

 

[MatthiasKNU]

I am sorry, i was referring to the Screenshot you posted yesterday at 01:51...

I still have to Look into The one with the 2 missing tiles

 

[GHD]

OK, here is a link to the photo scenery, two agns and their text equivalents.

As you can see there is very little agn.
