• 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.

Scenproc - Does it support BigTIFF via GDAL libraries?

And if it does, what is the largest GeoTIFf that anyone has tested the vegetation autodetection capabilities with?

I have a 78GB GeoTIFF that I'll probably have to break down, but I want to break it into the smallest practical number of tiles for scenproc to detect the vegetation.

cheers

Hi,

Yes, GDAL does support BigTIFF and thus scenProc also does so.

But in the way scenProc now accesses the data it puts the whole file in memory first. So that means you better keep your segments around 4 GB or so.

The feature detection is best run on smaller tiles, but that can be done in your script. Because detection results are stored as images in memory while processing. So that also takes some memory.

I'm currently processing over 600 GB with the feature detection for a project and that works fine. Of course not as one file :)
