Hi .... having got sorted out with the 'how to' end of things with running the program, wonder what the consensus is regarding the look of the ortho on the ground .... I'm seeing anomalies which I've taken captures of and can be seen as per the links below. Interested to know if anyone  else seeing similar, and know any way of avoiding these .....???? 

1) Mallorca ..... ortho scenery stops short of the East end of the island though according to the map the whole island is covered by the 2 tiles ..... something else a litlle odd about this was the whole job only took between 2 & 3 hours to complete, which compares not at all with some of the mamoth time frames i've encountered for a single tile to be processed .... https://www.4shared.com/folder/i-UZIWaF/lepa.html

2) EGPK shows a dividing line between what looks like 2 seriously different colour palettes .......https://www.4shared.com/folder/weHJeXSN/EGPK.html

 

using exe version with BI17

 

 

Thats because a lot of your tile is water. If half the tile is water it'll take half the time.

ZL 17 is very high for a complete tile

    Not yet, that is a feature I hope to add in the future. If you want to add accurate autogen right now from OpenStreetMap, I suggest looking at scenproc: https://www.scenerydesign.org/scenproc/

  • I just found out about ortho4xp for P3D last night and made my first tile with no problems:) Awesome! I'm an avid Xplane user and have tons of ortho for it. I have many tiles that are near perfect..

    @OzWhitey Re Scenproc, there are basically three big steps that it all comes down to, and each of these big steps needs to be in your .spc file. 1) Importing the data - so you can pull data

Hello,
I wonder if I can put out a call for advice please?

I have the latest version of Ortho4 P3d installed and I've changed the config to point to resample.exe.
However, each time I compile the scenery, including to tick build for ESP and batch build,
everything goes through it's motions but I'm getting no add on scenery folder produced in the orthophotos folder.

Here's a little extract from my config file....

terrain_casts_shadows=True
use_decal_on_terrain=False
ESP_resample_loc=C:\\P3dOrthoResample\\resample.exe
ESP_scenproc_loc=C:\\Users\\fery2\\Desktop\\scenproc_latest_development_release_x64\\scenProc.exe
ESP_scenproc_script=default.spc
max_resample_processes=8
create_ESP_night=True
create_ESP_summer=True
create_ESP_spring=False
create_ESP_fall=False
create_ESP_winter=False
create_ESP_hard_winter=False

Any suggestions please?
Best....  Phil

Read the first 5 pages of this. You likely didn't select the tile

The bgl files you make with ortho4xp for p3d are fully compatible with all versions of p3d and fsx.

Small print: If you want to make it theoretically better for v5, use the resample.exe file from the v5 sdk. Never noticed any difference between versions, but they seem to be different sizes etc so it’s possible (though unlikely) that something was changed.

I do most of my flying in v5.1, and 100% of my flying over ortho, absolutely no compatibility problems and none would be expected.

More specifically, p3d has had a problem with blurry ortho rendering in the past. This was fixed late in v4’s run (around v4.4, i think from memory), and v5 does a great job of rendering orthoscenery under challenging conditions.

So I am creating my Ortho's at 17 and the bmp's look great but when in P3D (specifically Greece in this case) they look horrible - like 14 in (the other sim we don't talk about) lol.

Am I doing something wrong?

lo probé para FSX, sigo los pasos pero solo genera parches de imágenes.

que hago

  • 2 weeks later...

He seguido los pasos tal y como se describen para fsx, crea la carpeta ADDON SCENERY junto con los bgl. al cargar la carpeta en el sim fsx cuando abro el escenario solo se ve una linea y no se carga el fotoreal.
Consejos, muchas gracias. 

I have followed the steps as described for fsx, it 
creates the ADDON SCENERY folder along with the bgl's.
When loading the folder in the sim fsx when I open the
stage, only one line is seen and the photoreal is not
loaded.
tips, thank you very much

 

cuando está el proceso indica que las imágenes se crean en blanco, al final es como se ve por defecto, pruebo con los otros servidores y es lo mismo.
Pasa en Costa Rica.

when the process is there
it indicates that the
images are created in
white, in the end it is as
it is seen by default, I
try with the other servers
and it is the same.
It happens in Costa Rica.

This is created with that program.

There is a texture problem. Can someone tell me a fix? 

Does someone else have this error with Jakarta?

Step 1 : Building vector data for tile -07+106 :
--------

Downloading OSM data for ScenProc, this might take some time, please wait...
If OSM server rejects our request due to too many requests, will keep trying until successful.
Attempting to download OSM data from -7, 106 to -6.5, 106.5

Download successful
Attempting to download OSM data from -6.5, 106.5 to -6.0, 107.0
        OSM server MAP sent us an error code for the data (data too big ?), new tentative in 2 sec...

I get this error every time I try to download tile -07+106. Can anyone give me a fix? I read the topic, it seems no fix was provided. 

 

Then this happens 

Exception in thread Thread-9:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "threading.py", line 916, in _bootstrap_inner
  File "threading.py", line 864, in run
  File "O4_Tile_Utils.py", line 163, in build_tile_list

  File "O4_Vector_Map.py", line 154, in include_scenproc
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'int'

And the program just stops working. I am just having this problem only with this tile and with only assemble vector data and batch build, not anything else. 

I'll be glad on solution.

I recommend using FSEarthTiles (FSET). It’s just better for fsx/p3d than ortho4xp_fsx_p3d (better quality, etc). I’ve also recently written a custom water masking solution. Before, FSET just used ortho4xp’s water masking code, which downloaded a lot of data not needed by FSX/P3D. My custom solution doesn’t do this and the result is much faster water masking, without as many timeouts from the OSM server (basically no time outs ever). Download it here:  https://github.com/stackTom/FSEarthTiles/releases

I have a little problem with this - I had made my own autogen from shape files with the ortho imagery. Before it was showing up in sim, now it does not. What I am doing wrong? Can anyone help?

Hi friend,

I have a question about Ortho4xp, can you help me?

Once I've created the tiles, each tile is created in a separate folder.

I should to add each tile to the scenery library separately?

Can I merge them into a single folder?

If I do this, it asks me to overwrite files.

Thank's!

I'm having a problem; when it gets to the second step, it always shows this error. I've already tried reinstalling, moving it to another directory, and nothing works. I also have all the Python libraries and DLLs are required; the code shown below is provided:
