February 19, 200521 yr Does anyone know if the Mt Rainier, Washington State Photoreal Ground scenery package by Steven Rosenow overlaps or conflicts with Holgers Columbia River Gorge scenery package? I looked at the coverage map Holger provided, and it doesnt cover Mt Rainier, but what Im wondering is how far down does Steven Rosenow's package go. Also, will the photoreal scenery conflict with Holgers earlier Cascades scenery?Thanks,Bill
February 20, 200521 yr Commercial Member Hi Bill,I don't know the extent of Steve's Mt. Rainier package but I doubt that it'll overlap with either my North Cascades or Columbia Gorge files. Even if it does, the answer is simple: Photoreal always overrides landscape enhancements made with the standard LWM/VTP method (polygons and vectors). That is, all water bodies, roads, railroads, and the autogen will "disappear" (not get drawn), and only custom objects or effects remain.I've tried Steve's St. Helens package and it works very well with my Columbia River files. You can either keep Steve's photoreal textures or disable them (rename MtStHelens.bgl to MtStHelens.bgl.bak) and keep his renditions of the visitor's center, observatory etc., which fit very nicely with my landscape.Hope that helps.Cheers, Holger
