Hi Ed,
you need to create the Atlas maps for 'unknown' territory manually once, this
is done by running the command called 'Map'. I cannot find the source where I
picked up my knowledge (probably, it's been 'Map --help'??) , but my (home
brew) FG scripts reads:
Map --singlebuffer --atlas=$FG_HOME/Atlas
--fg-scenery=$FG_HOME/Scenery/
Map --singlebuffer --atlas=$FG_HOME/Atlas/lowres --size=64
--fg-scenery=$FG_HOME/Scenery/
This creates HiRes and LoRes map images.
I have a folder in my home directory where all FG related stuff is located.
$FG_HOME refers to this folder. The subfolder $FG_HOME/Atlas will contain the
generated maps. You may also use the default location for the maps
($FG_ROOT/Atlas).
Another subfolder $FG_HOME/Scenery holds my downloaded scenery.
Finally, when running Atlas, you need to specify where to find the newly
generated maps:
Atlas --path=$FG_HOME/Atlas
You may also wish to check the build-in help of the Map and Atlas commands:
Atlas --help
Map --help
Cheers,
Tom (aka Radi)
