Duplicate Files

Can anyone please explain to me why I am getting duplicate files.

I have followed the correct process and I have 48 BMP files and 48 matching TFW files - NONE of these are duplicates.

As an example I place 3 BMP with their matching TFW files in the input_aerial_images - then I run the config-sample-only batch file (all setting are correct)

When this has run I copy the files from the scenery/images folder contents to the \Documents\Aerofly FS 2\scenery\images

I then run Aerofly FS2 and the scenery is there, it's great.

Where I have a problem is I downloaded a rather large area and I need to run 1 BMP with its matching TFW file at a time due to the size (level 14)

I go through the normal process and run 1 BMP file and it's matching TFW, I copy the scenery/images folder contents to the \Documents\Aerofly FS 2\scenery\images

I then run the second BMP file and its matching TFW, I copy the scenery/images folder contents to the \Documents\Aerofly FS 2\scenery\images and it tells me there are duplicates. This has me confused as the data in each TFW file is different....... where am I going wrong?

Hi Rodeo,

Thanks for your reply.

Here is my issue.

I Downloaded a big area:

48 tiles in total.

I grabbed the NW and SE Lat / Long (clicked the C button).

Copy & pasted this into into: http://ndgrad.co.uk/fs2/fset2tmc/

I selected levels: 9,11,12,13,14 then converted.

Then I did a copy & paste of the results into: config-sample-only

<[string8][folder_destination_ttc][./scenery/images/]>

I then ran inf2tfwConverter - and in the end I had 48 BMP files and 48 TFW files.

I then ran config-sample-only.bat and GeoConvert crashed after a while (only have 16gb of RAM)

So I decided to run with 1 BMP file and it's TFW file at a time.

I then copy the scenery/image output and paste this into \Documents\Aerofly FS 2\scenery\images.

When I run through this process with the second BMP file and it's TFW and paste it into \Documents\Aerofly FS 2\scenery\images - it tells me this is a duplicate.

If I say yes and over ride it the first tile is not in Aerofly FS2 and the second one is.

What is the best way to run these individualy, I have 48 BMP and 48 TFW files: (not all shown here)

Thanks in advance for your assistance

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Rodeo,

I have tried all that and then thought, why not create a folder for each tile in \Documents\Aerofly FS 2\scenery\images

cb1,cb2,cb3,cb4 and that works except I have a black line between each tile and a massive black area surrounding the tiles.

I am having fun trying all these things but it's getting frustrating

Thanks for your help

I give up, painful process.
