### Purpose:
|
||
|
|
Most users could benefit from the availability of a reference example to gain a working understanding of scenery generation. I am hopeful you gain value from this example and i would like to see this lead toward encouraging more Windows users to get involved in contributing to scenery development.

|
|
|
||
|
|
### Supported Platform:
|
||
|
|
Windows 10
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Prerequisites:
|
||
|
|
SimGear
|
||
|
|
TerraGear
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Installation Instructions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
None

### Usage:
|
||
|
|
Below is an explaination of the files provided:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| File | Description |
|
||
|
|
|-----:|------------|
|
||
|
|
|**generate.cmd** | A command script containing calls to the various TerraGear tools to produce scenery for Oahu |
|
||
|
|
|**test.apt.dat** | Contains all airport data for those located on Oahu |
|
||
|
|
|**/data** | Folder containing files you provide to the TerraGear tools |
|
||
|
|
|**/data/SRTM-3** | Terrain data for Oahu |
|
||
|
|
|**/data/fg_* ** | Shapefiles. These define the type of terrain (grass, lake, forest, etc.) - Items typically defined by a polygon area |
|
||
|
|
|**/data/osm_* ** | OpenStreetMap files. These represent roadways, rivers, etc. - Items typically defined by "lines" |
|
||
|
|
| **/work** | Files produced by the TerraGear tools |
|
||
|
|
| **/output** | Final resulting files. These are the scenery files that will be loaded into FlightGear |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run the command script interactively. No log is produced.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
generate.cmd
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Runs the command script and routes STDOUT and STDERR to a log file. You will miss the prompts, so it is important that you monitor the log while it is running.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
generate.cmd > generate.log 2>&1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Options for monitoring the log file while the script is running:
|
||
|
|
Start the script and then
|
||
|
|
- Load the log file into Notepad++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/).
|
||
|
|
- Turn on feature "Monitor" via Notepad++
|
||
|
|
- **[Preferred]** Load the log file into WinTail (http://www.baremetalsoft.com/wintail/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Testing the Scenery:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configure fgfs or the Flightgear Launcher to look in **/CustomSeneryProjects/Test/output** for additional scenery files.
|
||
|
|
Choose as a starting location from any of the airports present on Oahu (e.g. PHNL or PHNG.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: You will find that all the buildings, radio towers, smoke stacks, etc. are missing. This is expected since your *output* folder doesn't contain any of these items.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Known Issues:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is a bug in the toolchain that prevents the airport BTG files from being copied to the */output* folder. You will need to copy these files manually until the issue is resolved. Copy the files you find in the */work/AirportObj* folder to your */output* folder.
