Good night, Michael
Hi delfin,
The link to the download the beta is in the first post of this thread.
Unzip and run the AeroScenery.exe
AeroScenery Beta Releases
-
You were right in the reduced window. I did what you suggested: (from upper left corner, deduce it. Then dragging up, but fails to discover "start".
I suspect that for some reason, this program is not installed correctly. Tonight, I will reinstall it again.
The beta version should resize down to a minimum to 1366 x 768 resolution with the default Windows font size.
It looks like the large Windows font size you have set is affecting that.
At this point the choices would be to either reduce the Windows font size or use a higher resolution monitor.

This is completely wrong and not an executable.
The Executable is linked in the first contribution of this thread (page 1). Right mouse click the link, save it in a proper directory. Its name is aeroscenery-1.1.0-beta.zip.
Next, unpack it. This should get you the following folder structure:
Click Aeroscenery.exe.
Kind regards, Michael
Hello Michael
I am defeated, (defeated). I had some interest in seeing how this Aeroscenery worked, but after all this series of difficulties, I think it is too cumbersome. This should not pose so many difficulties, even for an inexperienced person like me in this discipline, especially the installation.
Nevertheless, I write what I did:
1) This link, 'aeroscenery-1.1.0-beta.zip' downloads a folder with the name of 'Release'
2) I created a subfolder of Aerofly FS 2 with the name of AeroScenery, in which I copied the contents of Release (naturally, after decompressed.)
3) This folder (Release), according to you, contains 46 files, only 44 appear to me.
4) The program runs but I can't install it. It is possible that one of those 2 files that I am missing is precisely the installation file, and I do not see it in the file list.
5) I have copied directly to the AeroScenery folder, the contents of SDK tools. Should I create a folder (Aeroscenery subfolder) for SDK tools?
6) And the most incomprehensible !!, I still can't see "Start"; Exactly the same, as with the previous installation. It is curious: I do not know in what way, but previously, the program had been installed. And also amazing: the previous Aeroscenery folder, had its files a size = 3.2 MB only; this one has = 46.4 MB.
This is how you can see in the image that I attached, the folder tree that I have installed:
C: \ Users \ Delfin \ Documents \ Aerofly FS 2 \ Aeroscenery \ aerofly_fs_2_sdk_tool
Anyway, Michael, I said I felt defeated, because I am not willing to continue torturing you with questions about this program. I don't give up easily, except, it's supposed to punish other people. In any case, this program is too cumbersome and confusing to download and install.
I previously downloaded it from GitHub; resulting in 3.2 MB. Now it is downloaded and appears with another name (the folder) Release and with size = 46.4 MB. At the same time, from the moment it is ordered to run, it should automatically continue with the installation process, even if it previously requested authorization to be installed. This is done by many programs, and is always a much appreciated simplification.
In this regard, I was very surprised by IPACS with its FS 2 through Steam. At the end of the download, you do not have to run anything or install. Finished downloading and ready to play !. Is that a job well done!
I repeat, dear companion, I deeply thank you for the succession of sacrifices you have made for me. I regret that in this case, the effort has not produced its fruits. Maybe next time.
Kind regards: Delfin

Delfin,
It's not working for you because you simply just didn't install it correctly. Aeroscenery is a completely separate application from Aerofly. You have the zip folder when you download this application, you only have to unzip it and move that entire folder (that was unzipped) onto your drive. Inside that folder you will find the application file, you just run it and that's it. Aeroscenery will then open. Then set up the settings according to the instructions and you should be good to go from there.

I think it is too cumbersome.
it's supposed to punish other people. In any case, this program is too cumbersome and confusing to download and install.
Unzip the beta and run the .exe, there is no install for the beta.
You should not copy it into your Aerofly folder.
You don't need to copy the SDK into your AeroScenery folder (just set the path in settings)
You can't see the Start button as your desktop resolution is too low coupled with your Windows font size being very large.
It will work on a 1366 x 768 monitor, but not with that font size.

Good afternoon, Nick
Welcome from your vacation; It is clear that vacations always feel good. Here is the proof: in view of my difficulties with the installation of Aeroscenery, how is it possible that we have not thought about modifying the resolution of the screen?, And ... especially me, the first one? !
Well, I listened to your advice: my resolution was 1600x900
I modified to 1366x768 and, worse
Again I modified to 1680x1050, and ... Eureka; Started "Start"!
Click on exe ..., Start ... and it works, but ...
But I can't find the file to install it.
I have downloaded the link you recommend on the first page of this thread (# 1), which turns out to be identical to the one I had already downloaded on Michael's advice (pmb). and attentively there is no installation file. What can I do now?
Well, dear friend, I am very grateful for this attention and desire to solve this difficulty with your AeroScenery program.
Sincerely, thank you, thank you, thank you very much
Kind regards : Delfin

But I can't find the file to install it.
The beta, linked on the first post of this thread, does not have an installer.
If it runs, you're done when you've set your SDK path in settings. Put the AeroScenery folder wherever you want.
Previous releases did have an installer.
Future production releases will have a zip bundle and an installer.

Hi Nick
Immediately that I discovered the 'Start' and the exe ... I ordered to process the tile that is seen in the post # 73 (N.W. Spain) of this thread. I wanted to have first contact with this program, although I assumed that this processing of this surface would not take advantage of it because I did not know the process to follow once it was finished. But I wanted, at least to know the processing times, both of Aeroscenery and Geoconvert.
These were the times:
Aeroscenery first phase = 2 hours
Aeroscenery second phase = 28 minutes
Geoconvert ------------ = 1 hour.
Here I started moving the small Geoconver window and I think I stopped the process. I was wondering where I would archive the files with the processed information. Then I saw it. Create new folders with their corresponding files. In this case, the folders are:
database,
working, in turn working creates the subfolders:
Map_09-7980_a200, which in turn creates the subfolder
g, with the subfolders:
17
17-Geoconvert.raw
17-Geoconvert.ttc
17-stitched
etc. etc etc.
Now I wonder, what to do with all this?
Is there a manual or tutorial that I can follow?
Clarify this: this is the first time that I approached beta programs. You say I shouldn't link Aeroscenery to Aerofly. In that case, where do I leave that folder? I beg you ... how did you do it?
Kind regards: Delfin
-
The folder "17-Geoconvert.ttc" should contain numerous files like "map_12_e400_a230.ttc". Copy these to
C:\Users\(your profile)\Documents\Aerofly FS 2\scenery\images\ES
(or whichever country you are working on.) Make sure you have an airport (e.g. FSCloudport) in the area and go flying.
Don't worry about the beta status. The present AeroScenery works better than some payware release programs.
Kind regards, Michael

Hi michael
After copying (as you suggested) the folder 17-Geoconvert-ttc to C:\...scenery\ images\ES; I loaded FS 2 and when I select the area to fly (geoconverted area), the order is not obeyed. I have everything locked. Even ,, to leave FS 2, I have to do it "Ctrl + Alt + supr".
Anyone else have this? It is a failure of aerofly, Steam, etc. or only mine? Regards: Delfin
-
I think it may just be you and yours.
My thoughts were, wow, it couldn't get much easier than this. I downloaded the zip file, unzipped it, looked for the exe file and clicked on it. I was up and running in less than a minute.So yea.
-
The problem is already discovered: deleted the folder "17-geoconvert.ttc", the problem was gone.

Hi Delfin,
If you're still struggling with this I'd recommend you take a quick look through the IPACS wiki to familiarise yourself with the concepts underlying scenery creation.
Then, take a look through the excellent guide to AeroScenery written by crispy136
https://flight-sim.org/filebase/index…oscenery-guide/
Although I've tried to make the app as simple as possible, AeroScenery documentation is almost none existent from my side, which I hope to address soon.

Switzerland appears to be working like charm !
I am almost complete in ZL17.

Is this with Geoportal? Great to hear if so
In my testing I noticed that the clarity of the imagery from Geoportal and some of the Scandinavian sources are outstanding.

New Beta Release v1.1.1
This (possibly) fixes the issue with missing USGS tiles.
Did three tests of Grid Size Level 10 on USGS and can confirm that the missing tiles glitch is now fixed. Thank you very much Nick! However Zoom Level 16 is not a good friend of mine
-

It's not a good friend of mine either.
Kind of ironic that USGS is one of the few "free" providers of high res imagery, yet the most locked down in terms of automated download.
I will email them to confirm that there's no automated way of getting high res tiles.

This is downloading ArcGis Zoom 17, all actions selected except Geoconvert. AeroScenery is stuck with all progress bars at 100%. Version is still 1.1.0.
