• 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 v4 Jena City (released)

Hi.

I would like to introduce you to another project of mine. It is a small city scene that represents the inner city area of Jena. The scenery is created as a pure city scenery and therefore will not include an airfield. The airfield has already been created and published by the developer Thomas Zipfel: Airfield EDBJ Schöngleina

Now, the Jena City Scenery is completed in large parts, but what is still missing are a few of the cityscape formative building. Also called Poi's. There is the fortunate circumstance that the city of Jena could be found as a partner, which, upon request, is heading for some architectural model for the project. Only the textures have to be slightly reworked.

The planned features
- Orthophoto DOP60 - resolution 60cm/pixel
- Height model DGM1 - resolution 1 meter
- Autogen vegetation and autogen buildings
- Important buildings (POIs)

Orthophotos: (c) GDI-Th


Pictures from the current state of development ...

The important JenTower was missing. This is now provided by ORBX. My request there was personally approved by the boss John Venema. Many thanks to Sascha Normann for his dedication and mediation.

These are the provisional buildings that are built into the Jena City Scenery: Employment Agency, Justice Building, JenTower, City Church, Town Hall, Carl-Zeiss-Planetarium, City Museum. Possibly additional buildings will be added. Let's see ...

So far the current state of Jena. But now it's time to continue with the Beta-test for EDGT Bottenhorn airfield

Great work, those images are amazingly realistic, I wish I could pick your brain a bit, specially the accuracy of your autogen vegetation and buildings.

Thank you for the kind word. Later it continues here, at the moment I'm in the beta test for Bottenhorn :)

A small information update on the current state of development in the project Jena.

First, the information that there is a new avatar development especially for Jena. These are three cyclists who are freely controllable, just like the usual avatars. Only the cyclists got certain animations: idle, drive, drive fast, wheelie and backwards.


p3dv4_bicycle_avatar.jpg

There are two male and one female cycling avatar



p3dv4_helgoland_bicycle_avatar_4.jpg

Cycling on Limesim Helgoland in the P3Dv4. This is very relaxing - highly recommended!


The bike Avatar has now also an eye on traffic safety thrown. In addition to a functioning front light, which was equipped with a dynamic light, now works the taillight :)
The special feature here: the lights are switchable - they have got Clickspots and can be operated with the mouse:


p3dv4_jena_bicycle_avatar_lights.jpg

Now also excursions in the evening are possible


The autogen in Jena (vegetation and buildings)

The works on the autogen are now completed:

p3dv4_jena_autogen_1.jpg

In total, about 10,000 autogen buildings were processed ...


p3dv4_jena_autogen_2.jpg

... and processed about 80,000 individual trees. Part automatic, semi-automatic and partly hand-placed


The individual 3-D buildings

The buildings are ready. They were successfully transferred from the CityGML software to the 3-D software and then exported to the P3Dv4. Here is the result:

p3dv4_jena_stadtmuseum.jpg

The city church Sankt Michael in Jena and in the foreground the city museum

One of the buildings, the town hall, is partially accessible, so that one can see here a small picture exhibition by Dirk Witten. Dirk is a hobby photographer with artistic ambition:

p3dv4_jena_rathaus_avatar_brian.jpg

Exhibition "Das Ruhrgebiet" by Dirk Witten


As far as the current state in Jena. Now we continue with the retouching of the orthophotos. Here you have to erase the bridges (in aerial imagery) and replace them with 3-D/Extrusion bridges. :)

After an interruption, the Jena project is finally continuing. Most of the work is now complete and the night textures, documentation and installer continue to work.

In order to be able to explore the city of Jena, which is located in eastern Germany, in style, a Trabant (Trabi) will be integrated into the scenery with a little luck. Certainly there will be a Porsche Carrera GT with which you can drive around. The Porsche is selectable via the Vehicle menu and can be fully controlled. The exterior model will be detailed.

And in the evening with lighting. The lights can be operated via the usual button assignment


Thus, one can then pay a virtual visit as a pedestrian avatar, as a cyclist avatar, as a Porsche driver or as an aircraft pilot of the pearl of Thuringia :)

Picture exhibition "Das Ruhrgebiet" by Dirk Witten in the walk-through part of the town hall. The entrance there is of course free

Who wants to explore a city needs a vehicle ...

The temporary Jena "fleet" is ready so far.

Now only a Trabi is missing :)

While I fiddle around with my two Air Bases, you're designing almost complete cities :eek:. My whole respect to that fantastic work! That looks spectacular and all those additional features invites to explore the scenery....well, by your avatars o_O ! Man, of how many hours does your day consist of?

When I used the installer (P3DV4), it gave two error messages about not being able to write registry values, but it installed fine nonetheless.

And I love it! :)

Thanks for the feedback :)

The registration key I can take out again, if I know what it is. For a fault finding , the installer generates a log file, which is located in the Temp folder (C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp). If you want you can send it to me via PM and then I can try to correct the error. The name of the log file is P3DV4_Bahrometrix_JenaCity_Log.log
