GeoConverter-Tool and GeoTiff-File

  • Hi.

    What am I doing wrong?

    I have been trying for several hours to compile a 60cm/px WGS84 GeoTiff file with the Geoconverter tool to ttc-Files. Although ttc-Files are generated, but from a certain point of time it does not continue. Only 53 ttc-Files with a total file size of 22 mb are created. Then the tool stops - it does not generate any more tcc-Files and does not report an error. Is it even possible to process GeoTiff files with the GeoConverter, or does it have to be a FSET tile?

    Here is the content of my AID file:

    <[file][][]

    <[tm_aerial_image_definition][][]

    <[string8][image][jena_dop60_su.tif]>

    <[string8][mask][]>

    <[string8][coordinate_system][lonlat]>

    <[vector2_float64][top_left][11.5599743989 50.9554641902]>

    <[vector2_float64][steps_per_pixel][7.0374e-06 -7.0374e-06e]>

    <[bool][flip_vertical][false]>

    My GeoTiff file is about 317MB in size, has an embedded coordinate system WGS84. The geoTiff file has a resolution of 60cm/px and covers an area of about 20km². In addition, the file has two alpha channels:

    Alpha channel 1 = watermask

    Alpha channel 2 = blendmask

    What exactly do I have to do to get this aerial image into the AerofylFS2 flight simulator?

    Many thanks for your answers :)

    At this point geoconvert stops working. No error message, no further generation of tcc files:(

  • Hi Christian,

    good to see your here!

    There are many questions in your topic, I'm afraid some have to be answered by the IPACS staff.

    Nobody of the community did try a geotiff before, even having 2 alpha channels. Nethertheless let's go through them.

    1. When you load your result into aerofly, you will see at the map the area which is covered after your conversion stops.

    2. In the TMC you can try the top_left value from the aid as lonlat_min and the right bottom value as lonlat_max (although it is not exactly correct, geoconvert seems to work with these settings).

    3. You can add this line to each level, not only level 14

    <[bool] [write_images_with_mask][true]> // do create images that would require a mask.

    4. Add the lines to create png files, this will give you a visual control for your conversion.

    You'll need the folder Images_raw before you start the conversion.

    5. Try to remove both alpha layers.

    I added a new TMC file here, give it a try and report the result please.

    Also note the text of the global flag, I corrected the explanation.

    Regards

    Rodeo

  • Hello Rodeo.

    So far I have been unsuccessful getting the georeferenced image file into AeroflyFS2. So I'll try to find another way.

    Nevertheless, thank you for your tips :)
