TexRelief?

Recommended Posts

Hi all!Does the SCASM TexRelief command still work in fs2004? I tried to get it work but nothing showed up. Maybe I passed wrong params. I'm not sure if I understood the documentation correctly. Does somebody used it and can give me an example? Would be of great help! Or are there any better possibilities for placing high resolution ground-mesh?And another question: Is it possible to code conditional flattening - e.g. flattening/no flattening depending on the distance from the aircraft?ThanksGottfried

Hi Gottfried,No, that is an obsolete command in Fs2004. You can better use the mesh techniques to place your photos in FS.As far as I know the flatting can not be conditioned, so it is always there.

Thanks Arno (didn't check the forum for a while...).Do you mean the mesh techniques, that resample the images to 4.7m/pix? Because I want to place higher resolution photos. Currently I use TexPolys which works pretty fine, but I can't harden the surface, except in flattened areas.Cheers Gottfried

Hi Gottfried,Yes, I meant the 4.8 meter resolution techniques.Using TexPolys is also possible, but hardening them is really hard. Maybe you could try to the Fs2004 style platforms that you can make with GMax. These allow hardening of non flat areas. Using the floating point commands instead of the TexPoly command is also better/easier.
