July 5, 200916 yr but leaves the lod rings around the aircraft default FSX terrain? What special trick are they using?I've got photo scenery for the whole of the UK which would be great to pre load and just let tileproxy add the near rings and let my other scenery generate the distant stuff. Is this possible?

Is this possible?During generation of photoscenery for FSX one can tell the generator tool (RESAMPLE.EXE) to create scenery BGLs that are only displayed between a given minimum and maximum LOD level. These BGLs are transparent for any LOD outside that range.The BGLs I use for Tileproxy are created with the FS9 SDK and they apply to all LOD levels. They define a landclass that mandates photo scenery that consitsts of lots of individual BMP files.So if you put the FSX BGLs at a higher scenery library priority over my FS9 style BGLs, the latter will shine through and Tileproxy is active only there (e.g. in the inner region)Problem is: It's impossible to change the displayed LOD range in your existing (commercial) photo scenery, unless you reverse engineer the BGL header and patch it accordingly.Christian
