• 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.

resample.exe on GPU?

I'm playing around with hlsl, and I've gained an interest in what GPUs can as a processor. I have downloaded tons of great stuff with FSEarthTiles, and waited ... processing ... processing... for resample.exe to do what it do, and I'm just tired of it. I have two SLI'd GTX 780's that just sit there while this happens. I'm wondering if I might be able to put them to work in a CUDA coded resample-ish program. If anyone has some deep, read exact, information as to what resample outputs, what computations it is doing, I'd appreciate the head start. I'll start with what I need for photoscenery and build on it openly. I wonder if many of us would appreciate a faster conversion program. From what I'm seeing it could be 1/8th of the time on my setup, maybe better.

Also, does anyone have the source for FSEarthTiles? The author released the source, but the links are dead. I have built a whole suite of organizing tools around it.
 
On a high level resample converts georectified raster imagery (e.g. orthoimagery or DEM) into a BGL file (e.g. photoscenery or mesh). BGL files can contain different types of data -- in addition to photoscenery or mesh, BGLs can contain others things, including (but not limited to) airport facility data, airspace and navaid data, scenery object placement data, vector data, traffic schedules, model data -- the list goes on and on.

You'll probably want to take a look at the overview on the BGL file format available on the FSDeveloper wiki (http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=BGL_File_Format) as well as this post by theisomizer (http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/th...porting-vector-data.432918/page-3#post-707786).
