Re: Okavango Delta

Mesh-clinging hydro-polygons are effected by creating a tiff from the photo bmp with the land as white and water black and adding a Channel_LandWaterMask pointing to the tiff in the .inf file. You can then add an arbitrary hydro poly covering the whole region.

QMid grid

The grid lines in SBX do not seem to correspond with FSX. This is a top-down shot in FSX where the user aircraft is on the FSX QMid boundary: http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/1574/qmid11fsx.jpg And this is from SBX which shows the user aircraft in the middle of a QMid11 rectangle :shock: http://im...

Re: Install Trouble

SBuilder.ini should be in the same folder as SBuilderX.exe.

I have SBuilderX installed into G:\SBuilderX\ on Windows 7.

Re: BGL Compiler Doesn't Compile, just flashes!

Run it in a DOS box and you will see any error messages.

Re: Exclusion Poly problem

Ensure that your exclusion poly intersects the default shoreline.

Re: Show aircraft problem

Before you select "Show aircraft", set FSX to slew mode and move the aircraft slightly.

Re: Water/Blend mask help

You need a blend mask to remove the photo textures and a water mask to apply water effects.

I have used the same photo-scenery files on XP, Vista-64 and W7-64 without any problems.

Re: Invert polygons ?

Hello Luis, I tried reducing the number of vertices using "Sample" with a minimum distance of 500m but that didn't help. Looking at the SBX, the largest poly has 108922 vertices and there are another 10 polys with between 1000 and 9000 vertices so it is hardly surprising that it is breaking the 32bi...

Re: Invert polygons ?

I was able to create the hydro-poly with holes http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/9823/onepoly.jpg But unfortunately I cannot do anything with it. If I slice to QMid11, SBuilderX crashes. If I try to compile it, Shp2Vec runs and clocks up 5min CPU but it doesn't create a bgl. http://img64.imageshack.u...

Re: Invert polygons ?

Unfortunately there isn't just one land poly Luis, there are 375 of them :shock: What I would like to be able to do is select all of them with a rubber-band selection and set them all as holes. However, you have given me a hint. I can make the largest a hole, export as SBX , edit it to set the NoofC...

Invert polygons ?

I have some SHP files which define land boundaries.

Is there a simple way to invert the polygons to hydro-polys?

Re: Zoom level v m/p

Thanks Dick.

I only wished to determine whether it was nearer to 1.2m/p or 0.6m/p
