Video tutorial: cultivation

Hi again Rodeo
I understand that the TSC file relates to an airport. Does that mean that I should already have created an airport within the area I am trying to cultivate? Or is the airport just a dummy (like the runway)? I assume the cultivation won't work without the TSC file? I'm a bit confused.

Hi Rodeo
Many thanks for the video. I've just started my first attempt at cultivation and I have a couple of questions:
1. I don't want to exclude any area so ..... does the exclude.kml file have to relate to an area inside the area selected in OSM? My exclude.kml is one I downloaded from the forum for somewhere else in the world.
2. You say that the building_textures folder is in your airport design package. Is this to be found in the "Downloads" section of this forum? I have the "Scenery Workshop" and the "Hawaii Airports" but I can't find it in either of those.
Ian, are you geoconverting the UK? If so forget OSM and go with Ordnance Survey as per my post. Every building down to a cricket pavillion is in their data. As for skipping exclusions, just comment out the exclusion line.

Spit40 Hi Phil
Yes - I'm doing the UK. I was definitely going to move on to the OS data - but I just thought I'd do a quick trial with OSM to familiarise myself with what's needed. I didn't even know to begin with that I needed an airport in place - so there's a bit to learn.
Thanks for the tip about the exclusions too.
Another thing I was going to ask - perhaps you would know. Are the trees generic conifers or is there an option to choose deciduous, which would be more appropriate for most parts of the UK?

Regarding trees, take a look at my modified scenproc file in the OS data thread. In it you see these lines. The FEATCODE bit is the alternate OS Data way of selecting the area that needs trees "planting" but the idea is that using a random number the trees are mixed broadleaf or conifer, but in my version I biased it to broadleaf i.e. 75% of time broadleaf
# Create AF2 plants
# More broadleaf than conifer in the UK
CreateAF2Plant|FEATCODE=15999 And FRAND >= 0.25|8;25|broadleaf
CreateAF2Plant|FEATCODE=15999 And FRAND < 0.25|10;20|conifer

Currently the cultivation is linked to an airport.
So you need:
An airport directory and an airport TSC file.
A dummy runway and a related entry in the TSC or a working runway from AC3D with it's related entries in the TSC.
The cultivation file and a related entry in the TSC.
The building_textures folder in the airport directory.
Rodeo (or anybody who can answer)
I`ve returned to cultivation for a while .....
You say I need a dummy runway and a related entry in the TSC. I have the dummy runway, but what is the "related entry in the TSC"? What code do I use for that?
Many thanks
Ian

i tried to cultivate king island (YKII) but not buildings or trees

This is very few information for a support
Can you describe your procedure a little bit more?
Do you have the latest version of scenProc?
Did you take the program changes into account?
-
Sorry but I can not find the information anywhere.... is it possible to have a template for the TSC file?
This is the skeleton of the directory that contains the scenario:
Cultivation Directory
--building_textures directory
--file.toc
--file.tsc
--runway.tmb
Thanks

I was thinking of putting a "Cultivation Tutorial" together as I like many found very little information about how to do it.
If anyone is interested shout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kindest Regards,
Michael.
