This is Karl Ranseier. And he is dead!

A well done easter egg by IPACS.

Here are some lines which are working with PolygonToPoint and LineToPoint and version 3.1.0.0

PolygonToPoint|landuse="forest"|INSIDE|0.00012;0.00012|1.0;1.0|String;forest|yes|INHERITPARENTATTR

LineToPoint|highway="motorway"|SINGLE|200;250|6;6|0|String;point|mlight|hdg

On the PC the orbx files are located as shown below (the path to common is of course different depending on the steam path).

Copy only the images folder.

Beim PC liegen sie hier (der Pfad bis common ist natürlich je nach Steampfad anders).

Nur den images folder kopieren (ggf auch elevation)

Farbgebung bzw. Kompatibilität der Farbgebung wäre für mich noch ein wichtiges Thema.

Denn wenn man es nicht kombinieren kann...

Quote from TomB

If I understand this correctly the impact will be substantial.

Exactly.

Especially for mass objects like boats (or all of things ObjctGen did for us) the work will not be handable any more.

For small objects, where the earth curvature does not play a role, that parameter should be reactivated.

Hi TomB,

think of an object like a boat or car or a windmill. There must be other ways then to rotate the mesh.

I am sure, IPACS did their cultivation with other methods.

Sorry Jan, I did read the examples and they do not give me the slightest idea how to orientate a class of objects individually.

If you intend to support the 3rd party community for more sceneries, we definitely need more support and documentation!

Edit: We urgently need more tools for objects placing and cultivation.

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

the legacy orientation parameter is no longer supported

Thank you Jan for your fast answer.

Is there any document whre I can see the valid syntax?

I NEED a substitute for the orientation parameter. My objects are not orientated the way they should (And I hope I do not have to make a new object copy to just give it a new direction...)

Thank you for publishing the scenery sdk.

When trying to convert our existing pois, we get a lot of warnings and problems.

Can you publish the wiki and the syntax please?

How can I substitute the orientation parameter?

Das wird sich ändern sobald das SDK zur Verfügung steht

You can use my mesh and the ortho of IZ0JUB in the meantime ...

Ja, das sieht schon toll aus.

Confirmed, these slopes are generated by AFS4 elevation files alone too.

Please also see my trick for PCs

You are right, these are pretty sloped.

The good thing is, that the elevation file of each island is separate, so you can ommit these.

Looks good for me:

Conclusion:

Have the best of both worlds:

AFS4 with user orthos in addition.

Even the UK images gain resolution if user orthos are installed.

Here a comparison of IPACS orthos and IZ0JUBs Isle of Wight (1m)

AFS4 with IPACS standard cultivation - quite impressive!

AFS2 with user cultivation - and MUCH longer loading time.

Conclusion:

Have the best of both worlds:

AFS4 with user orthos in addition.

Quote from ZoSoChile

nothing else such as trees, 3d models and autogen building appear.

That is a real pitty. Especially the 3D objects did cost a lot of work!

It would be good to get a converter from IPACS which changes the text files in a way, that the sceneries only need to be recompiled!
