Cultivation Issue After Following Rodeo's YouTube Video

  • Hi Guys -

    I managed to successfully (I think) create a .toc file for a small area around KSNA airport using Rodeo's workflow, but my autogen is not showing up.

    The following are in my Aerofly FS2/scenery/places/US folder -

    building_textures folder in place.

    runway.tmb file is in place.

    My newly created .toc is in place.

    And a modified .tsc file is in place.

    I'm very suspicious that my .tsc file (which I modified from another scenery) isn't correct? Somewhere I've missed the part of the workflow where the .tsc file is created, I think.

    Where should that come from, and what modifications need to be made in terms of adding latitude, longitude, etc. and where do those numbers come from?

    I'm not doing an airport scenery per se, I'm trying to learn the workflow to create autogen AROUND airports (or anywhere else).

    Thank you for any help - am very anxious to learn this process.

    Steve

    Modified .tsc file code is below...among other issues I'll bet my incorrect longitude and latitude are an issue?

  • The way I add cultivation, is I download an airport from fscloudport, then i place that in my Documents/Aerofly FS2/scenery/places/{Country}/{airport}

    1. Then I place my map.osm into that folder, run ScenProc into that folder

    2. Then open the tsc file from the downloaded airport and fill in map as you have done.

    You can't place is directly into your Aerofly Scenery places folder, has to go into your Documents Aerofly scenery places.

    Hope this helps.

  • Here is an example for cultivation without airport:

    The latitude and longitude are roughly in the center, but I didn't pay to much attention.

    Cheers,

    Kai

  • Hi guys - sorry was traveling - created a .tsc file based on your .tsc file as follows Kai - still not working.

    Coordinates are approximate (Are they important)?

    Both .toc file and .tsc file are named ktsc_1.tsc and ktsc_1.toc, the runway.mdb file is in place and building_textures folder is in place, all within a folder with path as follows...

    C:\Users\colby\OneDrive\Documents\Aerofly FS 2\scenery\places\US\KSNA Area

    Thanks again all...if you spot any errors let me know please - really want this to work so I can begin help creating sceneries that can be shared with others so we all can have more autogen.

    Steve

  • Hi Republic DC-9,

    sorry to say, but your data are full of mistakes. ;)

    1. Your coordinates are swapped, so we're somewhere in China.
    Please follow lonlat definition.

    Additionally for USA a minus has to be added going to the west from Greenwich, UK.

    Example -117.86822 33.67566

    2. You added the dummy runway, but you did not define this scenery object in the .tsc

    3. You define the scenery_cultivation ksna_1, but in your thread text you name it ktsc_1 -> will not work

    4. You repeat the scenery cultivation file 3 more times, why?

    5. It's hard to read the text file format. Either use the forum function code or attach the TSC as a TXT file to the thread.

    I have edited a file, without testing it, but it eliminates the errors above. Just rename the TXT to TSC.

    Go on with your work, but go thorougly through the TSC. ;)

  • Your file works GREAT!!! Autogen everywhere I wanted!

    Thank you!

    One small problem though - my KSNA airport itself is gone? No little green airport dot on the location map at the start screen, and no airport buildings even though the area is surrounded by autogen?

    Thanks again for your help...we're almost there and I'm learning a lot!

    I really want to help populate the AFS2 world with autogen like you did for San Francisco - such a huge addition.

    Steve

  • Never mind, I got it!

    I had to remove the ICAO line for the airport from your .tsc file, now I have a lot of autogen and it looks nice.

    Once question though - my autogen only contains major buildings from OpenStreetMap, not a lot of buildings like houses etc. like in the San Francisco package? Is there a better source for creating the .toc file that would create more buildings?

    Thanks,

    Steve
