Hi,

I am still having trouble understanding how this tool works. Why does it need coordinates for top left and bottom right of the image? Isn't top left enough information for the placement of a tif file. I know when i converted my tifs of my local area to FSX and P3d it worked simple as with a simple bat file. For some reason trying to do this with geoconvert it requires exact coordinates for each corner so if i'm doing an unusual shaped area of my local area that's cover with the tifs i have i have to select a top left coordinate that will take in all the images i'm trying to convert and a bottom left that basically creates a virtual tile that encompasses the whole lot i'm converting. But this is a waste of time as i have found it takes a long time and creates black squares where i have no tifs for? Not to mention it creates nearly double the tiles it needs as these are the black ones where i don't have tifs for. So it takes forever to convert. I have 3800 tifs to convert for my local area so i'm trying to find an efficient method to convert short of having to input the coordinates of top left and bottom right of every single 3800 tifs. Not to mention id have to make 3800 folders under scenery/images since it wont keep adding to the naming system as i've found out. Anyone got any ideas or am i dreaming of doing something this tool cant handle. Cheers

Thanks.

I figured that out after experimenting with diferent ways and seeing if it worked.

Hi. Just have a couple of questions regarding the cool geoconvert tool. I have some really good . Tif files of my local area 345gig in total. I have started converting them using geoconvert and it works great but I'm limited to only converting a small amount between 50-100 . Tifs at a time or else it crashes trying to convert entire Tif folder. I tried one or two to start with and they worked really well in aerofly fs 2. But the issue I'm having is each time I do a batch of conversions the next batch has same name and overwrites the previous lot. I changed the configuration file to not overwrite and now does not seem to generate any new ttc files in my images folder? Am I doing something wrong or is no one else had this issue yet. Can I possibly rename each batch differently so they don't get overwritten? I have 3800 Tif files to convert and it takes about 24hours to convert 100 Tifs at level 13 detail... I prefer level 14 but takes much longer.

I may do them in level 14 another time once I have area to fly in, in the meantime. So I don't want to convert anymore until I can sort this issue with the file names and overwriting. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
