Re: [Flightgear-devel] Southwest Colorado Scenery - beta 4
Also, note the scenery is not working because of specific problems with the cs_scrub.shp file. There are no elevation problems with the SRTM, for whatever reason the Scrub file is not being turned into scenery properly. Because I am using ignore-landmass, it is being turned into ocean, which of course is at 0 elevation.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Southwest Colorado Scenery - beta 4
Hi, Just for a test I generated a 1x1 degree area around KTEX using 'standard' cs raw and srtm3 data with my TgScenery Qt GUI - the result - http://www.geoffair.org/tmp/tests/ktex.htm#test2 Not as 'beautiful' as John's scenery, but at least the elevations appear correct ;=)) As noted, still lots more tests I could try when, if I get the time...

[Flightgear-devel] Southwest Colorado Scenery - beta 3
http://www.stattosoftware.com/flightgear/Durango.zip I have hope as the file size actually went down in this build, but perhaps something else went awry. The only change is remapping Scrub to ShrubCover. Please let me know if this works. In other news, this is 3 square degrees of scenery - I have now generated data for 24 of the 28 square degrees which make up the state of Colorado, so when this build works, watch out.

Hi John,
I have added it like this:
$ export FG_SCENERY=${FG_HOME}/statto/durango:${FG_SCENERY}
I have extracted the content of the ZIP file to
${FG_HOME}/statto/durango.
I think, there is still something wrong with the elevation data, because
just take a look:

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Southwest Colorado Scenery - beta 3
Roland, thank you for the screenshots! From your screenshots it looks to me as if the ShrubCover worked this time around as this was the cause of the null-elevation ocean areas in the first two builds. The other elevation errors, do they still drop down to zero elevation as well? If so, then there is a problem with another land cover type. I fear it's an error with the SRTM data, though.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Southwest Colorado Scenery - beta 3
It looks like there are a number of holes in the SRTM-1 data. I don't know if GRASS can export HGT files using r.out.binary so I'm not sure if I can fill nulls, so I'll have to go back and re-generate the scenery using SRTM-3 data.

The new build of the Durango scenery is available at http://www.stattosoftware.com/Durango.zip I'm sure there's going to be problems with this scenery as well - the file size went up slightly but probably not enough to solve the problem. The problem with the first batch was that Scrub Cover did not get picked up by fgfs-construct, and with --landmass-ignore as part of my building process, I changed: ogr-decode --max-segment 500 --area-type ScrubCover work/ScrubCover data/shapefiles/cs_scrub.shp to ogr-decode --max-segment 500 --area-type Scrub work/Scrub data/shapefiles/cs_scrub.shp and ran fgfs-construct: fgfs-construct --ignore-landmass --work-dir=work --output-dir=output --lon=-107.5 --lat=37.5 --xdist=2 --ydist=1 AirportArea SRTM-30 AirportObj Lake Road DeciduousForest EvergreenForest MixedForest GrassCover GrassLand Marsh MixedCrop DryCrop BarrenCover Scrub Town Urban HerbTundra SnowCover in an attempt to fix the problem. I don't have any of the FG 2.5 or 2.6 builds, just 2.4, so if someone could test this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks John Hi John, Sorry but no change... well in this version the Y shaped roads appear at KTEX, but the river is still cut down to 0 elevation, some 9,000 feet below... see - http://geoffair.org/tmp/tests/ktex.htm#beta2 On reflection, maybe this is a problem due to --ignore-landmass option... I remember in fgfs-construct there is a 'service' that 'levels' out roads and rivers, and can thus 'cuts' into the terrain... maybe this is what is happening for the river? Maybe if there was a landmass type, which provided the general terrain mesh at around 9,000 feet (at KTEX), then fgfs-construct could be convinced to NOT cut the river down to zero level... but lay the river ON this base landmass mesh... Just a thought... Regards, Geoff.

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 ;=()

Geoff.
