[Autogen] California - Work in Progress

[roland_lfor 245]

Hi there,

Here are some screen shots around LA with a first mix of buildings and vegetation:

Still a lot to do ...

Vegetation in North Sierran, north of Lake Tahoe:

More pictures around lake Tahoe, this time with vegetation shadows activated:

The Autogen for California is now ready.

>>>> If you are interested, you can download it here

Read the text file carefully as it requires extra autogen definitions.

The autogen pack for California is now hosted here:

Strange to see that US simmers are not interested to enhance their VFR country scenery... No interest in this thread

 

Maybe because it's freeware

I think, perhaps, because few fly with photoreal?  Could I suggest a couple of videos showing metropolitan areas, rural areas and, perhaps coastlines?

That is not true, many people fly with photoreal, especially us VFR pilots. I think the problem is that there are many commercial alternatives on the market already and in some cases included with the product. I for one use UltimateVFR for California and it includes both the photoreal and a great autogen all in one package. And for those that use Megascenery for California the Nuvecta autogen product has been on the market for some time with both autogen trees and buildings.

Downloading now a to take a look at your results.  I take it all the data is from OSM?

thx for the scenery!

No, I'm using various sources to complete OSM which is still quite poor. See the readme. I found a great vegetation source which allows 36 different species!

You should also fly in North and East of San Franciso to see vegetation covers. (North Sierran, North Interior, North Coast East, South Sierran...)

I have found an issue with one vegetation species (error in one of my script), I'm currently computing a fixed version.Hopefully It should be available during the week-end.

Hi Folks,

The pix look fantastic - nice work !

Actually I've just seen that the package miss the South Sierran vegetation.

I'll issue a v2 asap.

[roland_lfor 245]

Version 2 of the autogen is now online with South Sierra coverage, available @ F-BMPL .

We have now 169 962 agn files.

A simmer has made a video showing a takeoff from KLAX (FSDT LAX scenery):

 

 

[roland_lfor 245]

For those of you who are using FSDT KLAX v2, I've merged my autogen with LAX surrounding area autogen for a good integration without hole.

>>>> You can get here the modified files for FSDT-KLAX texture folder.

Just copy and replace original FSDT .AGN files.

Beware that after each FSDT Update tool run, you'll have to make the copy again as it revert back AGN to original ones.

Hi Roland,

what photo scenery do you use? In your screenshots above it looks really good. I use Megascenery California V3 and in the wooden area it´s much too blue in my opinion. The green of the trees is rather turquoise than tree-green.

Thanks

Christian
