A lot of enthusiasm being generated here - can't wait for the improved (HD?) mesh mentioned on page 2.

welcome to the forum and we are glad that you are enjoying Aerofly.
Looks like you got the geoconvert process down Nice job.

Hi Jeff, Thanks and thanks for the Wiki!
Yes it took a good full day to really figure it all out, lots of trial and error, first time I've worked with FSET and Geoconvert but in the end very happy with the results.
I'd also like to thank Spit40 (Phil) for his FSET TMC file creator, it helped a lot in the process.

First post too. Been working on Central Europe and decided to take off from Geneva, then fly towards England, turn around above London and fly back to Zurich.
A big thanks to IPACS for this great simulator and the members of this forum who keep this community alive.

Yes!!!!! I done it!, I got some scenery of my local Area Paraparaumu into Aerofly FS2, yeah I know its not pretty, I havn't done any masking round the shoreline or Kapiti Island. I downloaded it at RES 1 so not the sharpest but hey I dont care! I can only get better at this:) thankyou Jeff for your patience and thankyou to all the IPACS team for creating these tools so we can join in. One thing I am wondering though, can you still do masking and colour adjustments after the scenery is in or does that have to be done during the process?

Loving geoconvert,
Always wanted to do this area of Australia in HD, which has been lacking in all flight sims to date.
Welcome to the Northern Flinders Ranges South Australia, and Wilpena Pound.

Enjoy the views

Hi Jozef Thanks!
I used Virtual Earth, I find VE has consistently better quality photography over larger areas, I use Google Earth if the area I'm working on in VE has too much cloud cover.
I've been using 1m/pixel for all my sceneries so far with GeoConvert set at 14.
My latest travels.
Bungle Bungles, Western Australia.
Isles of Scilly.
Jewels of the Aegean, The Greek Islands.

Ok thanks! How do you process such a large area? I did some 60 Gb area recently and geoconvert crashed multiple times.
Do you produce adjacent areas or areas that slightly overlap? I presume you did not create this scenery in one geoconvert session did you?
Thanks in advance

Yes one session. The area weighed in around 20 Gig and processed overnight.
I also processed a 60 Gig file of my local area, it almost took 2 days! but completed intact. 16 Gig RAM helps.
I've also had my fair share of crashes, the Western Australia scenery in particular which was also about 20 Gig, the tool crashed on me when compiling at level13 funnily enough the converted files still work fine in the sim with no problems.
Overlapping areas really cause problems for me, there's a clash with areas competing with each other, black stripes, low resolution textures etc.
Hopefully IPACS has a patch in the works for seamless blending.

Would you give me the coordinates of the scenery? Im from holland and dont know much about australia and its beauty.
Did you use the cashe option in fset?? I have 32 gig ram so that shoul not be a problem then.
Tnx

Hi Jozef
Unfortunately I deleted the coordinates of the area I processed but I can give you the approximate location coordinates of Wilpena Pound, in FSET, once you zoom in on the area you can't miss it.
Lat 31 33 33.23 S
Long 138 34 23.65 E
I don't use FSET Cache.
