SceneryDesign.org Now that I can use scenProc to easily create new autogen, the urge to add custom autogen models increases as well. To make the autogen even more realistic I want to add custom roofs, custom vegetation models, etcetera. But all these modifications to the autogen configuration files give developers some headache when trying to deploy […]
Support for FSX:SE
About two months ago a new edition of FSX was released on Steam, which is basically the same as the FSX Gold Edition. My different tools have been updated by now to be able to support this new edition as well. When you have both FSX and FSX:SE installed the tools will try to detect […]
Crashes at startup
Since I moved to .NET 4.0 a few weeks ago, some of the tools had random crashes, usually at startup. It turned out this was an issue in the text editor control that is used in the tools. Mainly scenProc and FXEditor were affected, because the text editor is a main part of the GUI […]
Recent changes
Just a quick note, I am aware that after the recent changes to my build server that the recent changes page is not always very useful. The change log message are sometimes truncated, meaning that not all information is visible. I will try to fix this, so that a good overview of changes is available.
Different .NET version
From today the development releases of my tools target a different version of the .NET framework. You’ll need .NET 4.0 from now on for all my tools. So be sure that you have it installed. For scenProc I have used some of the new functionally of .NET 4.0 directly. As a result of the better […]
Build server changes
Related to the move of this website to the new server, I also had to make a few changes to the build server that I use to make the development releases. I’ll just start with an overview of the main changes, below I will explain in a little more detail how my build process works. […]
Server move – part 2
In my previous post I talked about an upcoming server now. This evening the domain will be switched from the old to the new server. I have already uploaded all files to the new server and just before the move I’ll do a last sync of all databases. So hopefully it will be a smooth […]
Server move
As you might know this website is running on a small home server in my living room. But since the server is getting a bit old and slower, I’ll be moving this site to another server somewhere in the next days. This might give a little downtime, so you have been warned now. The new […]
Scrubs
For the Nantucket project I have used the scenProc feature detection function to get the autogen trees from the imagery. But would a similar approach also work for scrubs? First I tried with polygonal autogen vegetation. The detection of the polygons went OK, but the density of the resulting autogen in FSX was much too […]
Status update
After spending almost 10 weeks in hospital, our son could finally come home this week. It’s very good to have the family all at home again, not having to travel to the hospital continuously. The only small downside is that our sleep is now interrupted in the night, but that’s normal with a small baby […]
