Updated FSEarthTiles V1.1

July 3, 20214 yr

I have updated FSEarthTiles from the current version 1.03B to 1.1. It now supports automatic water masks creation as well as autogen creation utilizing Scenproc. Users of FSET may know that FSET is also able to create night and season masks automatically.

This builds upon HB-100’s original FSET. It couldn’t have been possible without his original work. Also, much thanks to all my beta testers.

Here is where to get it: https://github.com/stackTom/FSEarthTiles

Thank you very good job!

Except one thing, in scenproc config the UPPERCASE - lowercase letters are very important!

Nice Job!

I have seen that there is a way to enable automatic blend borders. But when I changed to "yes" in the FSEarthTiles.ini doesnt happen after scenery compile just water mask.

BlendBorders = Yes # yes = auto blend Borders (Blend-Transition) of an (Multi-)Area

I need to do anything else?

Hello, blend borders doesn't work currently. It is a side effect of the new water masking. I might or might not add it in the future. The code is on github, so maybe someone else adds it as well.

I have updated FSET to version 1.2. It supports multithreaded downloading (up from the default of 4) as well as multithreading resample.exe (up from the default of 1), as well as fixes some bugs. The result is much faster scenery creation.

Check it out: https://github.com/stackTom/FSEarthTiles/releases/tag/v1.2

It is working for me. Any error messages? I recommend downloading the latest release, v1.3.

I've updated the program to v1.3. Here are the changes:

Added support for .lay provider files from Ortho4XP
Added masks width parameter to enable using Ortho imagery near the shoreline for more realistic coasts
Added ability to control number of image processing threads that run at a time (before, it defaulted to 4)
Fixed miscellaneous bugs (such as www button not working like it used to in FSET 1.03B)

V 1.3.1 is out. Improvements are:

“

This releases adds a new parameter to FSEarthTiles.ini called SkipAllWaterTiles, which, when set to "Yes", will not create BGLs for tiles which contain solely water.

Also, this releases fixes a crash that could occur when downloading very large files from OSM for scenProc autogen creation.

Hello,

I'm a rookie ortho4xp P3d user

really impressive program 🙂

I have one question.

I completed all procedure for the creation of Tiles, but when I put on my P3d, the shoreline of orthophoto blends with the default shoreline, and I see the two sceneries, default and orthophoto.

Anyway to fix that or hide the default scenery?

Thank's.

Can you send me an example of where this happens?

FYI: the latest FSET version is 2.0.3. I’ve written a custom water masking implementation that doesn’t rely on createMesh.exe (which is essentially ortho4xp’s water masker under the hood). The result is significantly faster water masking with less time outs from the OSM servers. Download here: https://github.com/stackTom/FSEarthTiles/releases
