• 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 there,

I´m often using SBX to add photorel textures to different airports and most of the time it works fine.

If try to work on bigger ares than the problem starts to begin. Mostly I get the "can´t not build a image" error (add from background option). I read that iti is a moemory problem but I´m using 8GB og memory. Still not enogh?

If I choose smaller parts in intention to make a puzzle of some smaller parts for whole big one then I never know where exactly the border is to set between the single parts. In that option I can´t see which part is already loaded.

Hope you know what I mean

Thanks,
Holger
 
SBX will only try to make so large of an area before you get the "too big" message. At level 16 I would keep it around ~2,000 tiles (50x40) or there abouts.

If you break it down into two or more parts AND compile each part, you will have an INF file for each part that can be used to make a multisource INF file for the Resample compiler. (Refer to the SDKs for info and examples) When Resample compiles a file, if there is overlapping area(s) it is able to only input what is needed, so there is no bloating from duplication of source.

Also, having smaller source files makes it easier for editing or making blend/water masks.
 
Thank you,

I think I have to do a deeper look into the ini file which I have never done before. But this seems to be the right direction!

Thanks again,
Holger
