The bottom one is a Yak 55M.

The middle one i don't have a clue...

Hi

1 - You can change the throttle tension in the X52 too (i have that one)

Thanks for the update, guys.

Now i can fly the R22 even without my joystick (i know it's not the way to do it, but haven't got my joystick fixed yet)

I took the R22 for a spin over Lisbon with keyboard and mouse (and a lot of 'rudder' trim), and it was great!

But crashed it on landing...

je viens d' achever ce jour la Corse ... et avec son important littoral je peux assurer que c'est une "galère".

Ceux qui se sont développé des zones à l'intérieur des terres sont bien chanceux comme disent nos amis Canadiens!

J'utilise la méthode sans masque, bien meilleurs résultats mais très astreignant.

Sur images "stitched" (et surtout pas sur les "Raw"), j'utilise le lasso pour détourer les hauts-fonds, Ctrl+X pour rendre la zone capturée transparente, donc détourage sur l'extérieur des hauts-fonds et étendre vers les bords de l'image jusqu'au cadre. Le but est d'obtenir une zone rendue transparente depuis les hauts-fonds et couvrant toute la surface blanche sans image.

Ensuite, avec la "Baguette magique", capturer les seules surfaces restantes, littoral + hauts-fonds ... Copier ... et coller sur une image de mer totalement couverte (image complète de 8192 x 8192 pixels). La difficulté est de se fabriquer cette trame de mer qui sera homogène et sans problème d'assemblage sur ses bords car elle sera ensuite utilisée pour couvrir de grandes surfaces par de nombreux assemblages, et le moindre défaut est alors multiplié !

Les bords de mer sont traités de façon "lamentable" autant par Google que Bing, IGN Géoportail serait souvent mieux mais pas accessible par GeoConvert ... quel dommage, peut-être plus tard.

Maintenant, je m'attaque à la végétation, les aéroports (FSCloudPort, vous pouvez oublier, c'est nul).

J'ai acheté LFKB Bastia-Poretta pour FSX, si une bonne âme connaissait un moyen de le réutiliser, je rêve un peu, c'est gratuit.

Bon courage à NFelix.

Merci.

Je n'ais pas pensé a faire ça avant, mas il est aussi une trés bonne idée

Et pardon pous mon Français, mais il y a beucoup de années qui je 'n'ecrit pas en Français

By the way Nuno,

I suppose you mean the "Logitech G Saitek X52 Flight". And ... I'm interested in your opinion, because I'm about to buy it:

Are you satisfied with that Joystick?

How long have you bought it?

What problem do you have with him now?

Regards: Delfin

Hi

Yes, it's the Saitek X52. I have it since 2006 or 2007, i'm not sure. Until recent times, it has served me well.

But now it has some problem in the rudder axis. It's unstable, and makes everything unflyable. I've seen some videos on Youtube with tips on how to repair that problem, so, as soon as i can find the time, i will try to fix it

Quote from CaptChaos

I have no idea what the previous post means, but you can't fly a helicopter with a keyboard.

I know it's not the best or more practical way to do it, but if it is possible with all the planes, it should also be possible with the R22. Anyway, it would be just a temporary solution until i fix my X52

Quote from Trespassers

Whatever the tools you use, that's pretty much the process flow I'd recommend.

Getting the source images is one thing, but the real job in ground texture scenery making is reworking your source images in order to get the desired result after geoconverting.

Cheers

Antoine

I will try all the methods, and see wich one i find the easiest. It's always nice to have more than one option

Anyway, thanks guys for being so helpful

Quote from nickhod

Instead of saving a separate mask image you can:

1) Open up the "stitched" PNG file that Aeroscenery generates

2) Use the eraser tool or selection tool then delete, to remove all the "no image" squares from the PNG, so that part of the image is transparent. Ideally giving you a nice smoothly curved shoreline.

3) Save the image, keeping it as a PNG

4) Enable "use masks" in the GeoConvert options

Bing or Google must have changed something because AeroScenery used to write transparency where it detected a "no image" square.

I'll aim to improve that for version 1.0

Hi

Thank you, i will try that.

But in the actions in Aeroscenery, i will run first 'Download image tiles', 'Stitch image tiles' and 'Generate AID/TMC files, then edit the stitched image, and only then run the 'Run Geoconvert' action?

Once again, thank you for the help, and thank you even more for AeroScenery

Thanks Antoine for the (very) fast answer

Now i'm heading out for work, but later today, or tomorrow, i will try both options, to see wich i like the best

Hi

I've been trying AeroScenery, and i have to say it works very well, and is way more practical the old method using FSET.

But i'm having a problem with the textures that i can't solve, even trying different settings in AeroScenery. The water part of the tiles always comes white, with that 'no image' symbol repeated. I tryed Google and Bing satellite images, but it's the same. Changed the settings in the Geoconvert tab, the Write Images with Mask, to see if it would change anything, but no luck.

Here are some examples:

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks,

Nuno

Hello.

I posted this question on other open thread, but as i got no reply, here it goes again

I have a small problem with the R22 (wich is GREAT, by the way)

My Saitek X52 is broken. While i don't fix it (or replace it), i want try the R22, using the keyboard and mouse. The problem is, i tried several key combinations in the settings, but the only thing i could use is the Collective. The Cyclic and TailRotor don't do anything, no matter the keys i select. For example, for aircraft, i have WASDQE for the elevator, aileron and rudder, and F1 and F2 for the throttle, and it works. For the helicopter i tried the same combinations, and others, but the only thing i can control with the keyboard is the collective, and mixture.

Also, the touch/mouse control on the bottom right corner of the screen doesn't seem to work with the R22.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Here goes...

Scenery: Portugal, including Madeira and Azores

Aircraft: Lockheed SR-71

Ok, it's working

Thank for the patience.

I did all the steps again, and now it's ok. I just couldn't understand what the problem was...

I just want to confirm here, is the prop displayed properly now?

Not to me. I repeated the process a few more times, but it's the same

Quote from drhotwing1

And you are still seeing this error? Even after completely uninstalling the SDK, installing the new SDK, deleting the DR400 folder, and re-running the process using the new SDK?

Yes, that's what i did, this last time, and it's the same...

Not a big problem, when i'm flying it appears correctly, it's just on the menu...

Well, I tried with the new converter, and it's having the same problem after all...

Ok, i guess i was using the old SDK aircraft converter. I will try the new one.

My bad...

Thanks.

It seems to be working ok, but in the aicraft selection menu, it appears like this...

And, (i wish) future pilots...
