Thanks for detail Scott, very helpful.  I did have a knowledge on some of this but have long forgot how the heck it worked.

 

See my recent post of at Orbx on topic and Holgers response as well.

 

With the new product FTXG, and the options for landclass I started to see that perhaps even buying FTXG it would be wise to understand the implications of other landclass products thrown into the mix.  And, then there will be the Orbx openLC yet to hit the market.

 

Interesting times in simming for sure.

this has been so far one of the most informative and least argumentative threads on this subject. thanks for all the good info.

 

That was the main idea of this thread, to find out what is all about landclass, and we're getting somewhere.

 

Thanks Scott for a detailed explanation. :good:

 

 

Note that a "landclass" bgl is simply a file with a grid of unsigned integers in the range 0 -255. <snip>

 

Thanks for the informative post, Scott.  It sounds like you're confirming what I'd deduced about OrbX's changes.
