Hi John, Had no trouble loading this Durango scenery with a quite recent git SG/FG, but it seems the rivers were given a 0 feet altitude, making for very SPECTACULAR scenery ;=)) see - http://geoffair.org/tmp/tests/ktex.htm But thanks for sharing... And would confirm, like Jacob, that trying to load this scenery in fgfs prior the sg_binobj changes, ie circa release 2.4 time, hangs fgfs in my case, with several outputs of - "We detected an error while reading the file." And I can see files like say 1204218.btg.gz are the new version 10 BTG format, so I guess it just is/was not possible to maintain backwards compatibility with earlier versions of fgfs ;=(( as was hoped... And it seems all the other BTG are either version 10, or version 7? That is none are the Scenery 1.0.1 version 6??? Maybe some thought should be given to putting a patch in release 2.4 at least, to abort the BTG load if it detects a later version BTG, or something... just to avoid more user 'complaints' and 'concerns'... Or at least a BIG notice somewhere about Scenery INCOMPATIBILITIES ;=() Regards, Geoff. PS: Below is a quick perl script I used to check the BTG versions :- ----------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl -w #< file: btgvers.pl use strict; use warnings; my $pgmname = $0; if ($pgmname =~ /(\\|\/)/) { my @tmpsp = split(/(\\|\/)/,$pgmname); $pgmname = $tmpsp[-1]; } sub prt($) { print shift; } sub show_help() { prt("$pgmname: version 0.0.1 2011-11-19\n"); prt("Usage:\n"); prt(" $pgmname single_in_file, or\n"); prt(" $pgmname \"*.btg.gz\", to do 'glob' list.\n"); } sub show_header($) { my $file = shift; my ($data,$n,$i,$hex,$hexstg,$ascii,$c,$num,$vers); open IF, "gzip -d -c $file|" or die "ERROR: CAN NOT OPEN $file...$!...\n"; binmode IF; if ($n = read IF, $data, 4) { prt("File: $file. Read $n byte header: "); $hexstg = ''; $ascii = ''; for ($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++) { $c = substr($data,$i,1); $num = ord($c); $hex = sprintf("%02X ",$num); $hexstg .= $hex; if (($c lt ' ')||($c gt '~')) { $c = '.'; } $ascii .= $c; $vers = $num if ($i == 0); } prt("Hex $hexstg $ascii Version $vers\n"); } else { prt("Read failed on file $file\n"); } close IF; } if (@ARGV) { my $file = $ARGV[0]; if ($file =~ /^-/) { show_help(); exit 0; } elsif ($file =~ /(\*|\?)/) { my @arr = glob $file; # assum wild card my $cnt = scalar @arr; prt("Got $cnt files from input [$file]...\n"); foreach $file (@arr) { show_header($file); } } else { show_header($file); # assume file name } } else { show_help(); prt("Enter name of BTG file to check!\n"); exit 1; } exit 0; # eof - btgvers.pl ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
