It is the ttx files in the scenery/images directory within the Geoconvert area that you move to the Documents/AeroflyFS 2/scenery/images directory.

Buzzard2008 · August 1, 2017 at 5:39 AM

Oh ok I moved the whole lot I guess that makes a big difference? I'll try again

Buzzard2008 · August 1, 2017 at 5:43 AM

Ok ED I dont have any tts files just aic, bmp inf and tfw files

Buzzard2008 · August 1, 2017 at 5:47 AM

The Scenery Images file in the Geoconvert directory is empty

Buzzard2008 · August 1, 2017 at 6:32 AM

If you meant ttc instead of tts then I don't have any of them either

GeoConvert Helper works excellent.

Thank you so much, admoore63.

If you still have that directory empty, that means that your conversion failed for some reason. The files created by the geoconvert tool are located in the Aerofly_FS_2_SDK\aerofly_fs_2_geoconvert\scenery\images, and that's the directory you should look into.

Cheers, Ed

Have you tried disabling Level 10?. Run it for 5 levels, 9-11-12-13-14 only to see if it works.

Good luck, Ed

Hi Ed,

thanks for helping me, but its not working. The tool need more time to convert but no file at the image folder

whitav8 · August 1, 2017 at 8:22 PM

You need to show us (provide a list of ) the files in F:\AddSzene\FSET\work. The large BMP and inf/txt/http://PartialFSEarthTiles.ini/etc files should be there after running FSET by clicking on the START button.

Have you pressed the "E" button inside FSET before making the tiles.?

Maybe you miss a file called PatialFSEarthTiles.ini - here: F:\AddSzene\FSET\work?

Hi GeoConverters,

if the GeoConvert Helper finishes without error and the folder 'aerofly_fs_2_geoconvert\scenery\images' is still empty there is probably something wrong with the files created from previous attempts.

You should empty all folders where files were generated, these are:

source folder (FSET\work)
destination folder (input_aerial_images)
aerofly_fs_2_geoconvert\scenery\images

While the source folder must be cleared manually the other two can be cleared automatically by GeoConvert Helper. Simply check the corresponding checkboxes.

I hope this helps

Uwe

Hi @ all,

i empty all folders, then i start the FSET, then i create the 'PartialFSEarthTiles.ini' and after that i start the GeoConvert Helper. Now its working! Thank to Uwe and Edward, Hartman.

The converter is now working but sadly crashed after I went to sleep 😭

admoore63 Cheers mate!

I just download the program but could you do one thing for us beginners. COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE US A VIDEO TUTORIAL on how to make and put these files in the game- alot of us are lost- and i feel like your tool will help us who are lost finally get started

We will try to make some easier to understand tutorials but we simply just don't have enough hours in the day to make video tutorials as well. Give this all some more time while more improvements and possibly more automation is added to the tool. The geoconvert tool was just released and it's already made great progress, but more time is needed to review things on how it can be improved.

I'm sure someone will make a video of the process at some point.

After I altered my pagefile everything went well

There is only one little thing and sorry if it's discussed before.

To test the alpha blending of the coastline I did one tile, so I had all bmp's in my work folder and one .tif, I deleted the .bmp

[Blocked Image: https://myalbum.com/photo/us5DvoFiKa8d/360.jpg]

Now when I fly over the area I'm missing that tile, I look and it's also missing in the "input_aerial_images" folder, also no .aic file

Only a .tfw, did GeoConvertHelper forget to copy the tif file?

Wat did I do wrong here?

Dree · August 3, 2017 at 4:24 PM

Nobody?

I've done it but I'm not sure if it's the official way.

While "GeoConvert Helper" starts to copy the images from work to "input_aerial_images" I do the same with my tif, by hand.

With one file no problem but it's an island, I think I have to move the tifs before starting GeoConvert Helper, I think.

First attempt with missing tile:
