SceneryDesign.org I have added a new step to scenProc that provide more exporting possiblities. Besides the FS specific BGL and AGN export, before you could only export to images and Shapefiles. I have now added a new step that also allows to export to other GIS vector formats. For loading vector data scenProc uses the OGR […]
scenProc development release goes 2.0
The scenProc development release has now been updated to version 2.0. One of the first changes I have pushed into the development release is an update of the GDAL libraries to a more recent version. So if you grab the development release 2.0 for the first time, please do a full download and not an […]
scenProc 1.1 stable released!
I have just released the stable version of scenProc 1.1. Compared to the old stable release 1.0 the changes made recently have been included. These are not really big changes, but since scenProc 2.0 will have some bigger changes coming up soon, I have decided to release a new stable release that people can fall […]
Build server update
I have updated to a different build server today. I won’t bother you with all the technical details, but this means that I use different software now to create the development releases of my tools automatically at night. For you as a user nothing changes, all download links stay they same. It’s only the build […]
ImportOGR and automatic projection detection
I have now modified the ImportOGR step of scenProc. For the projection you can now specify a value of AUTODETECT to tell scenProc to try to detect the projection used by itself. This works for most vector data formats that GDAL/OGR supports, as long as the projection data is specified correctly in the vector data. […]
ImportGDAL and projections
Until now the scenProc ImportGDAL step required that the imagery you are reading was in WGS84 projection already. I have now changed this and other projections are also supported. If the imagery is not in WGS84 it will be reprojected by scenProc internally. This should make it even easier to run the feature detection feature […]
scenProc big area tips (2)
Here is another tip when using scenProc to process big areas. If you are working with raster data this can mean that you have to load a big amount of files. But there is an easier way. scenProc uses the GDAL library that supports reading GeoTIFF, JPEG2000 and other common formats. But it also supports […]
scenProc big area tips (1)
When you are trying to process a big area in scenProc getting all vector data loaded can be hard. Either you will have some big shape files that take long to load or you need to do some pre-processing to slice up the data before. But did you know there is an easier way? scenProc […]
Aircraft.cfg editor
In the next development release ModelConverterX will contain a new aircraft.cfg editor as well. This is an enhanced text editor that is linked to the 3D preview. This should make it easier to modify lights, contact points or exits for example. Because while you type the coordinates of the points they are updated directly in […]
Reading aircraft.cfg files
I have added a new feature to ModelConverterX, besides the MDL format, you can now also read the aircraft.cfg file. Each of the models defined in the CFG file will then be read into the tool. And the liveries are based on the settings in the CFG file. This will give more accurate liveries than […]
