GeoConvert tool basic Questions

1st Official Post

    Hello, iam a hobby-Leveldesigner and Modder for many years.

    Now i will build some Scenerys and maybe Planes for FS2.

    I have some questions, my english is not so good (most Google Translate),

    Sorry if the questions have already been asked...

    1. I use this Setting for the GeoConvert tool

    and the Texture looks like this

    is there a possibility for a higher resolution?

    If i try to set the downloadreselution to -2, -4, or change the earth service to google, no pictures will be downloaded.

    it can be the highest settings, storage space is enough available.


    2.Normal Maps.

    I found this in the Wiki:

    _bump texture is an optional gray 8bit RGB height map for optical surface height variations which will be converted to a .tsn normal map by the Content Converter.

    How i can add the Bump (normal) maps for the Ground Texture?


    I would be happy if I got an answer.

    There is a full tutorial on how to achieve this on the wiki.

    To specifically answer your question, you can achieve much higher resolutions if you use FSET resolution to -1 and for your conversion you should use up to level 15.

    If you are getting blank image files with level -2 or higher it means that there are no images with that high of resolution. I would not go beyond -1 which is 0.25m resolution and very high for Aerofly.
