June 12, 201114 yr Hi all,After having read the other topic about the watermask issue when using Inkscape , I want to ask your help for a simular issue when using GE.It is working only half and the masking isn't working properly as can be seen on the screenshots.When moving over the scenery small area blocks appear/disappear. I have drawn to lines , each 2,0 wide.Names them Coast and DeepWater and saved them in the same AreaKML.kml file and put that one in the working folder.Here my AreaFSXMaskInfo....inf file :Destination]DestDir = D:\FSX\Addon Scenery\FSEarthTiles\sceneryDestBaseFileName = Area_Lp2_SnapOff_N051164182_N051102003_E002502696_E003011955BuildSeasons = 0UseSourceDimensions = 1CompressionQuality = 80[source]Type = MultiSourceNumberOfSources = 2[source1]Type = BMPLayer = ImagerySourceDir = D:\FSEarthTiles\workSourceFile = Area_Lp2_SnapOff_N051164182_N051102003_E002502696_E003011955.bmpLon = 2.84079551696777 ;for top left and bottom right is: 3.02209854125977Lat = 51.2783002853394 ;for top left and bottom right is: 51.1722135543823NumOfCellsPerLine = 6337 ;Pixel is not used in FSXNumOfLines = 4944 ;Pixel is not used in FSXCellXdimensionDeg = 2.86102294921875E-05CellYdimensionDeg = 2.14576721191406E-05PixelIsPoint = 0SamplingMethod = PointChannel_BlendMask = 2.0 ;red channel, (note:green channel is the grey-info)Channel_LandWaterMask = 2.2 ;blue channel[source2]Type = BMPLayer = NoneSourceDir = D:\FSEarthTiles\workSourceFile = AreaMask_Lp2_SnapOff_N051164182_N051102003_E002502696_E003011955.bmpLon = 2.84079551696777 ;for top left and bottom right is: 3.02209854125977Lat = 51.2783002853394 ;for top left and bottom right is: 51.1722135543823NumOfCellsPerLine = 6337 ;Pixel is not used in FSXNumOfLines = 4944 ;Pixel is not used in FSXCellXdimensionDeg = 2.86102294921875E-05CellYdimensionDeg = 2.14576721191406E-05PixelIsPoint = 0SamplingMethod = PointAnd here my AreaFSInfo....inf file :[Destination]DestDir = D:\FSX\Addon Scenery\FSEarthTiles\sceneryDestBaseFileName = Area_Lp2_SnapOff_N051164182_N051102003_E002502696_E003011955BuildSeasons = 0UseSourceDimensions = 1CompressionQuality = 80[source]Type = CustomSourceDir = D:\FSEarthTiles\workSourceFile = Area_Lp2_SnapOff_N051164182_N051102003_E002502696_E003011955.bmpLon = 2.84079551696777 ;for top left and bottom right is: 3.02209854125977Lat = 51.2783002853394 ;for top left and bottom right is: 51.1722135543823NumOfCellsPerLine = 6337 ;Pixel is not used in FSXNumOfLines = 4944 ;Pixel is not used in FSXCellXdimensionDeg = 2.86102294921875E-05CellYdimensionDeg = 2.14576721191406E-05PixelIsPoint = 0SamplingMethod = PointAnd in the fSET.ini file CreateAreaMasks is set to Yes.Help is appriciated. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
June 12, 201114 yr Unfortunately, to my eye, everything looks OK. But it's been so long since I've used GE with FSET that my opinion doesn't mean much. I've forgotten most of what I knew at one time. Hopefully someone else will be able to pick up on something.Rich
June 12, 201114 yr Author Here my blendmask bmp file.There are some GE files not loaded , but not at the coastline. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
June 12, 201114 yr <br />Here my blendmask bmp file.<br />There are some GE files not loaded , but not at the coastline.<br />I wonder if it has something to do with the sharp, narrow indentation for the river. As an experiment, if not too much trouble, you might want to try a mask that cuts straight across the top and see what happens. Again, it's been a long, long time since I've used any of this. So that's simply a WAG on my part.Rich
