• 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.

Resolution Problem

Hey all,

im currently working on a major project, to redevelop a island called Bahrain. I already got the strm and everything, and starting filling the gaps. Then it came up to the photorealistic textures. I used photo scenery maker to create these textures. Got the images from ptsim , and got them into 3000 by 2400 pixels, but now here is the problem.

I went over tutorials and everything, and i followed the steps , everything went okay. Then i made the ini file, and everything was similar to the tutorial, then when i hit resample, it took less than 10 seconds to resample. The bgl file was 2 kb :confused: ... This is when i became suspicious . Fine i went on to converting the textures to dxt1. Placed it into fs and this was the result

As you can see, it imported the textures into fs, but the resolution is kindoff low, and the colors are way different. So i went back to photo scenery maker, and i tried to adjust the resolution, it kept saying it was to big so i couldn't create the file. I went on until i found what is to be the largest resolution accepted for my image. Did everything again, resampling was also less than 10 sec. But this time the bgl file was bigger, it was 7kb :D .. anyways converted the textures to dxt 1 again, and moved it to fsx but there was nothing found when i went into fs.

So is there a way i could fix this?
 
Hi,

Are you using FS2004 or FSX?

In FS2004 the maximum resolution for photo scenery is about 4.8 meter per pixel. So that could explains your result. The low BGL size is also OK, as it only needs to refer to some textures.

For FSX the BGL size should be a lot bigger, as the textures are inside the BGL.
 
hmmm, thanks arno for your reply, and i went back and noticed that my m/pixels was 4.2 for both. So im going to try to make it a 4.8 and i will tell you the results.

Thanks again ...
 
Result

Well, as said, here is the result

Well im not sure, but i would keep experimenting and find the the best fit that suits my purpose..
 
Hi,

I am not sure if you understood my comment correctly. Which resample version are you using? With the Fs2004 one it is not possible to get a better resolution than 4.8 meter per pixels. So much sharper than what you show it will never look with that.
 
hey,

im using fs2000 resample tool
yea i kinda noticed that i didn't understand what u said..
um so could u like elaborate more about the 4.8 meter per pixel :(
 
Hi,

In your first post you mention you are using FSX, in that case I would suggest that you use the FSX resample. It allows you to place photos with up to 7 cm resolution.

About the older versions of resample, at that time the limit was 4.8 meter per pixel resolution. So if you put in an image that has a higher resolution, the tool will automatically downsample it for you to 4.8 meter per pixel. So it does not matter what kind of input you use, the output is always 4.8 meter per pixel.
