• 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.

Photo scenery sbuilder

Hi can anyone help with this please, Iam trying to produce photo scenery with sbuilder am I have slightly come unstuck. How can I increase the bitmap size to fit the LOD 13 squares?


Paul
 
What I did back when using SBuilder was just add more maps on those edges to fill in the LOD13 areas I needed. I would have up to 30 or more individual maps all lined up next to each other to cover a broader area.
 
I've tried placing a number of maps together as you suggessed but when I come to the photo bit sbuilder says there is no photo map under this tile, and there is!! please help this is doing my nut in .

Remember that even if you add extra maps to fill more areas, they too must fill a complete LOD13 area.

Also, lets say on the top left of your screenshot you wanted to process that area. So you add some map to it and bump up to the edge of what you already have. That will not work. A map must cover an entire LOD13 area. You can't have two maps side-by-side work if they don't cover LOD13. Just wanted to point that out in case that is what you are doing.

You can skip selecting those that don't and you should not get that error message.

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the advice, I worked it out last night. Is there a more up-to-date method of applying a photo realistic to a airport area?
