Custom scenery for fs4

Hi Marc,
I have sent you a link for sharing.
Hope that IPACS will fix the download link for their Aerfofly FS2 SDK.

Good luck,
Christophe

Hi Marc,

This is half a misunderstanding. Although you can download higher-resolution satellite images yourself, Geoconvert doesn't make them any nicer. Satellite images are generally of terrible quality and you have to edit/restore them first, for example with Photoshop, to get a good result. Just look at my work - I'm someone who does this job. And if you can wait another two days, I will add the entire, fully restored Japan.

You work with Aeroscenery from Nickhod, i know. Me too.

And here is a example for a satellite-image, what i mean, fresh from japan:

and here the same, after my little restoration:

Hope, you like it.

I think it's great how you do this with the IMAGES. So I can really enjoy flying with the FS4 thanks to your IMAGES , thank you very much for that.

Very good work, however if I may say so, the green trend always seems too light or too apple green to me, if I can put it that way, compared to the original colors as in real life.
I also noticed it for Italy and Spain. Is this voluntary on your part? But that's just my opinion. Thanks very much and Happy New Year!

Yes, the green is intentional. It refreshes my eyes and makes longer flights less dreary. You also have to add the trees, which in principle cover 90% of the area. I find it welcome when this green hue can be seen through the trees. These extremely green glowing surfaces are not used everywhere, but only partially by me. The scenery should offer variety.

Looks detailed, I assume that you have a procedure to remove the clouds in the images? The posts of Chris and me have been moved elsewhere. This forum subject is getting technical. Perhaps there is a forum specifically for developers of FS4? I don't consider myself to be a developer, it's just an idea.

Yes, I have my own, self-developed procedures to remove a wide variety of interference across borders. There is currently only a separate developer forum for FS2, as I see.

TomFa:

Or to put it another way: I find my green tones to be an anti-depressant. But of course, color tones are always perceived subjectively - due, among other things, to the different arrangement of so-called cones and rods on the retina in the eye, which are responsible for light/dark vision and color perception. This arrangement is different for everyone.

So to be more precise, we are entering an ophtamological field 😎

Schnuffelduffel is there any chance you would like to work on the canarian islands? At least this wouldn't be a large area...

They already exist - I think from Iz0Jub...

I´d also like to create some map tiles using the AeroScenery tool. Unfortunately, I get a permission denied when I try to download the SDK under https://www.aerofly.com/community/file…le/2-sdk-tools/

Is there a way to gain access to that page?

Unfortunately, the download link for the FS2 SDK from IPACS no longer works to download the FS2 SDK.

Jet-Pack (IPACS) Jan, can you please restore the download link as announced from you in this thread above:

RE: Custom scenery for fs4

At the moment the download indeed seems to be down. I hope we can restore it somehow soon.

There is still a big need for the FS2 SDK resp. especially for GeoConvert tool.

In the meantime I can make just temporary a private share by contacting me directly.

What would it take to draw a few aerobatic boxes on the ground near airports? I'm not a developer and I have no idea how to proceed. But truly all I need is four corner marks, mid-side marks and a center mark, 1000 meters on a side, placed in at least one specific location, if not several. There is a bit more to the specification, but that is the general idea.
