if you get real stuck you can send me the .bil, .ers.... etc and I'll see if I can get past it

thats what I imagine it would look like minus the detail

sounds good Bob

then I assume I am not understanding CFS3 terrain math. My thinking is 1792*1024*1=1835008 . 1835008/256=7168

ok, its looks like you are already using 1024 resolution. I wouldn't go lower than that.

i would try ers2tiff *.ers S7.53375 E149.9688 1792 1024 4441 PNG -917504 -917504 1 1

if that works well...

also why 30x30? I just create 1 big tiff file. I might create 2x2 or 4x4 for a big theater if needed.

you should be able to use the same DEM and run ers2tiff with a lower resolution . I'm sure that will run a lot faster. Of course your terrain will have less definition.

that could save you a lot of work Bob

ok, I was able to fix by copy/pasting cfs3.exe from one of the working theaters. I probably did not install the patches correctly or something

thanks guys

the map works fine in the pregame briefing it just does not show in during in flight checklist like it normally does (see image)

I'm starting to think it has something to do with not being able to...

FWIW , I am able to download without warning

Thanks Joost but I should be more clear. The briefing text pops up for me but not the map.

how do I get the map to pop up with my mission briefing(default M key) while flying? It works in some installs but not in others and I'm not sure what controls it.

oh wait, I remember the water mask will end up on top of this new vector shoreline creating a sharp water edge unlike the existing shoreline which lays on top of the water mask. Maybe someone knows a...

yeah rivers are a bit of a problem but your idea may work. Is there a river shoreline with alpha channel to be borrowed from somewhere?

EarthExplorer/nasa lpdaac collection/modis landcover ver6.1
I used the 2002/2003 data as its about the resolution I wanted but newer data is much sharper

sorry, I not aware if the tools can make different types of water?? I know Dan has created different water colors for the defualt map but I have no clue how he did it.


I did not know you could...

Ted,
I sent him a pm username DaveWG

It just didn't occur to me to do it that way


I used Modis landcover data from Earth Explorer instead

Yeah Ted , I had to make an lcf

pluggin away at the slow parts

no, he did not

That's looking sharp John

1800km doesnt go very far in the PTO :dizzy:
