SceneryDesign.org I have added a new exporter to ModelConverterX, from now on you will also be able to export to the FSDS FSC format. The exporter will save the geometry, material and textures. Animations are not supported at this time. With this new additional it is now possible to convert both to and from FSDS. So […]
Let there be rectangles…
I have added a new processing step to scenProc that allows you to turn polygons into rectangles. This step is mainly useful when creating autogen vegetation for FS2004, since the vegetation must be rectangular there. What the step does is just take the polygon and try to fill the shape with rectangles of the size […]
Features with holes
I have made some changes to the OSM importer for scenProc and it should now handle features with holes correctly. Since I am currently travelling for work, I do not have the FSX SDK here, so I haven’t been able to try yet if the produced AGN with the holes will actually work. That’s something […]
OpenStreetMap, performance and more
In the next development release there are some interesting changes to the scenProc tool. These are the main changes: You can now read data from the OpenStreetMap XML format. This makes it even easier to use OpenStreetMap data to create autogen objects for FSX. By reading the OSM XML format directly you can get even […]
AGNTools update
I have updated the AGNTools in the development release packages, so from the next development release you will notice the following changes: agn2txt can now also decode FS2004 AGN files to a TXT file txt2agn has been renamed to txt2agnx, it does encode a FSX AGN file from the TXT file txt2agn9 has been added […]
scenProc GUI available
A first version of the scenProc graphical user interface is now available in the development release package. This new interface allows you to run the scenProc configuration file from the GUI, you don’t have to use the command prompt anymore. I also includes a text editor control, with tooltips and auto-completion to make it easier […]
Where do the bug reports go?
A few months ago I added the error reporting function to ModelConverterX. This means that if the program crashes, you can send in an error report. But you might be wondering what happens after you send it in. At the moment 203 errors have been sent in and this is what happened with them: 3 […]
scenProc GUI progress
I have made some progress on the scenProc user interface. The buttons to process the configuration file are working now, all processing steps report their progress and messages in the GUI, there is syntax highlighting and tool tips showing help about the processing steps. Next item to work on is auto completion while editing the […]
Bye bye command prompt interface
Today I have started working on the graphical user interface for scenProc. The idea is to make a kind of text editor that will help you to define the configuration file for scenProc. Below is a first screenshot of the new user interface. Once I have the basics finished, I will turn my attention to […]
MSTS support?
So, I was on business trip and had an hour to spare or so before we would go to dinner. What would you do with that bit of time? Triggered by some reason discussion if exchange of objects between FS en MSTS could be possible, I decided to have a look at adding support for MSTS objects […]
