FSEarthTiles Tutorial - Free VFR Scenery for FSX and P3D

[@kinglimpang8067]

Apart from Virtual Earth, is there any other Earth service provider? I don't know why when I zoom in to level 4, some parts of the map is shown as no picture (a sign with a slash on a camera). Thanks.

[@Drawyah]

At the moment you can only access Virtual Earth, I will add more however once they are avalible. Google a little while back re-worked their encryption meaning we cannot access their images. As for your zoom level issue, most likely since no data for that area exists. Where about are you doing? I'll have a look for you.

[@kinglimpang8067]

Drawyah Games Thanks for quick response. I was trying Taiwan. When I zoom in to level 4, some part of the land is normal but some indicates the circle with a cross on camera.

[@Drawyah]

Sure, I'll take a look. It most likely is a case of no image data in that area. Finding other map sources isn't the easiest due to piracy issues leading to heavier encryption on map image servers. (As long as this map data is not sold for profit, it's classed as fair use and therefore fine to use.)

[@kinglimpang8067]

Drawyah Games Thanks. It looks like I have to give up the project then :( There is quite a huge area of 'snow' (white blank tiles) in the sim :/

[@Drawyah]

Just making sure, this is over where land should be and not just the water?

WOW!! Thank you for this tutorial. It was a bit too fast for me to keep up with you but I just backed up the video a few times to see what you did. It works great with my P3Dv3 sim, just so you know. My first project was around my home and covered just 2 counties and was 1.4 gig. holy cow, I need a bigger HD now. I will probably just keep every thing on a USB stick and access the files that way.

Hello, I'm having a problem with the texture, the scenery is like 70% transparent, and it is under the FSX base scenery. Some roads of the photoreal scenery are easy to spot, but they are a bit transparent. For example : near my airport there is a mall with a lake near it. The lake is showing up, some part of the mall are showing up, but the other parts are transparent. I can barely see the scenery. *The FSX base ground texture might be over the photoreal scenery* I don't know if it's a blending problem, do you have any issues ? 🙁

Hi, thanks a lot for this. How do you do to smooth the ages for the scenery created to merge nicely with Orbx textures? How can I make Orbx trees to populate the green/forest areas? Thanks

[@Drawyah]

You can smooth the edges of any scenery through their textures before compiling. As I did with the mask images for the water, you can modify any part of the scenery including the VFR imagery themselves. As for trees? That cannot be done unfortunately. This is because the VFR imagery by default includes an exclusion zone that removes the autogen scenery, whether or not it's made by ORBX or default. There are mods that bring some of it back, but they can be limited unfortunately.

8:50 After compiling the scenery, I have only scenery folder but no texture folder. What should I do? Thanks!! Looking forward to seeing your reply!!

[@Drawyah]

By doing it in this method where you compile it yourself, you don't get a texture folder. Just add it to your scenery library and you'll be fine.

[@kinglimpang8067]

But you have got that at 9:17... Without that it seems it is not working in my sim. It is still showing default P3D :/

Try compiling the AreaFSXMasksInfo file instead and NOT the seasons one. Sometimes it may just be an issue with the seasons one which I only started having troubles with after this video.

[@richardnurse2772]

Ok I'm having a bit of a problem. I made one scenery already for P3D using FS Earth Tiles and it worked. However the output to the work folder is not in the format that P3D accepts it, but it contains a folder named 'Cache' and then some other files. P3D however requires your scenery to be in the format of a 'Scenery' folder and a 'Texture' folder. So inside your Addon Scenery folder will have these two folders in there. For my first scenery that worked I renamed the folder 'Cache' to 'Texture' and I placed the rest of the files in the FS Earth Tiles work output into the 'Scenery' folder. I then added this to the scenery library in P3D and it worked. See it here at 49:26: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y33Epaegp6yhqJI This was level 2 detail scnenery. Now I try to make another and follow the same steps at a level 1 detail, and a level 2 detail and they both don't work. I add the scenery in the P3D Library and they don't show. What's the issue I'm having? And why do I need to edit the work output folder so much to make it compatible with P3D and FSX? I didn't see you change any contents of the scenery folder to "Scenery' and 'Texture'. What's the problem?

[@Drawyah]

You need to set the location of the output and work folders in the config. At the start of the video when I'm setting up the software, make sure you are telling the folders to go to the right place. The work folder realistically shouldn't be in the P3D add-on scenery folder and should be moved.

[@richardnurse2772]

@@Drawyah Ok bro I'll try that. What exactly is the file that the P3D reads? It's obviously not in the 'Scenery' and 'Texture' folder format I was referring to.

[@richardnurse2772]

@@Drawyah Another thing, for my sceneries i already, remember I didn't set the location of the output properly, but a scenery was properly made. I moved the files that were in the Work Folder and put it into the Addon Scenery folder in my sim. Where should I go from there to get those sceneries to work, or should I delete them and start over and set the work output folders properly?

[@mozard7368]

If you're willing to go the payware route, Horizon Generation X is fantastic for the UK whole Open VFR is good for all over Europe. Freewares aren't so good, but if you look for sites like Shep's Shed (which requires going through the archive.org Wayback Machine) or even a couple city-wide sceneries on Rikooo, you will then be able to get a couple sceneries for different locations and airport surroundings.

I dont see this in your second link in the description.. the second link is only for an ini update.. where do you get the resamplefsxsp2?

[@Drawyah]

The second link on the website!!! *facepalm*

How to Update Map2020 in FSEarthTiles Tutorial P3D

[@1974moumita]

Can I do it do the full world?

[@Drawyah]

Most of it, since there will be some places that don't have satellite imagery or it's super low quality. If you do the whole world, make sure that you have PLENTY of space on your harddrive.

[@boomthedonut7863]

can't access any of the data servers

[@YokeJoke]

My tile got reddish how wsa that possible?

[@Drawyah]

Try changing the month within the simulator. FSEarthTiles will try to recreate the scenery to match what time of year the sim is set to. Winter has snow/white, summer is green and so on.

[@YokeJoke]

Ok! try it soon..

[@GaryRPerlich]

When I click on your website shortcut, it redirects me to a website regarding girls and their webcam.

[@Drawyah]

It's not my website for starters, clicking on the links now all seem okay!

[@tomobrien4182]

Thanks, great tutorial!

[@tanaski6168]

How to set up its light in night? There is no light.

[@Drawyah]

In the 'fsearthtiles.ini' file, you can change 'CreateNightBitmap' from 'No' to 'Yes'. This will activate the night map, but this is to varying success which is why it's deactivated. You can always give it a go though!

[@tanaski6168]

Nothing change!??

[@Drawyah]

Once you've made the change to the config, you will need to re-make the scenery since it had to compile the appropriate masks.

What's the performance loss

[@Drawyah]

Virtually nothing. All it does is adds a flat texture on top of the FSX World Mesh. In fact, it may improve your FPS since it doesn't add Autogen buildings by default to it - Autogen is done through add-ons. 🙂

[@Drawyah]

Apologies for the late reply, your comment didn't appear in my notifications! Performance loss is at a minimal since all you are doing it replacing a few ground textures likewise, you can lower the download resolution to give you better performance within the simulator with slightly lower resolution images.

[@kinglimpang8067]

So the orbx autogen will all disappear?

[@eleanoruwu]

I highly recomend getting london for fsx

Thank you, Bro! 😃

@@Drawyah But still I have some problem. When I try to select scenery folder I can't click on white area. When I click nothing happens.

[@Drawyah]

What do you mean by white area? It should be a standard text box, meaning it's potentially an issue on your end.

[@timarakov6067]

@@Drawyah I mean on 5:10 you said that you need to click on blank area. When I click nothing happens

[@Drawyah]

Oh right, sometimes the scenery manager glitches, sometimes it doesn't. So long you can add the scenery, you'll be fine.

[@mimonls1542]

autogen ?

[@Drawyah]

While not with the add-on itself, there are free mods out there that will let you add autogen to the VFR Scenery.

[@eleanoruwu]

@@Drawyah what are said mods?

[@Drawyah]

The best freeware option I know (but only covers the UK) is Shep's Shed Autogen. web.archive.org/web/20150206040204/www.shepsshed.com/autogentrees.htm I know that a lot of airport sceneries also come with their own autogen that surrounds the area too, making some freeware and payware worth it. Payware options for autogen then include Just Flight Revolution-X and openVFR which cover different areas. www.justflight.com/product/revolution-x openvfr.freyt.de/magento/index.php/

It shouldn't have damaged FSX, what error do you see? It should be as simple as deleting the folder it created.
